    He should get game time over Lazaros, Fetfa has provided exiting football in SA, still deserves a game during the friendlies.

     

    Our team will only grow if learn to become less dependent on the ageing likes of Tzolis and one-dimensional players like Tachstidis.

     

     

    Over Lazaros?? Lazaros has been ripping it up in Greece & Europe. He should be getting game time over Bakasetas if anything but I completely agree with your second statement, let’s get some speed and agility in the team, enough with the old & failed

  2. Given current midfield situation, never been a better time for these guys to make their mark in the Ethniki. In the past Katsouranis, Karagounis, Basinas, were players the coach wouldn't budge with, we are  certainly not in that situation anymore, barring Skibbe's obsession with Tziolis lol so anythings possible

  3. You guys have a very bizzar attitude to this and it’s disgusting tbh. You wanna talk about death??

    Your actions your concequences, what happened 10 years ago is very different to this.

    Keep convincing yourself to your own bullshit.

  4. Great win by AEK over PAO, was a great atmosphere at the stadium where football was the winner for a change. 

    Araujo with a stunning goal for 1-0, the reff gave PAO a silly red card which was a shame but in the 2nd half AEK was great.

    Great to see the respect by players and officials towards PAO from Melissanidis and all. 

    5 more points from remaining 4 matches and we are Champions of Greece :boom:

    JVC I didn't state that it was acceptable nor a non punishable offence. In am curious to know what Amorgos (and the rest of the glorious angel aektzides) thinks  WHY Savvidis would do such an act?

     

    Pretty simple reason why, due to the offside call - or is there another reason you believe? 

    Ok seen your reason after.

    I do not understand PAOK started this last year against PAO ... you set the standard, and  PAOK jumped on the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The fact that it was a  register roll over a coke bottle does not matter .. ..YOUR COACH WAS A PUSSY, and your team walked off the field like chickens, because YOU WERE LOSING the match. The same thing happened at Kareskaki remember ... our coach was knocked out with a bottle .... did he walk off like a pussy? No. Karma is a bitch my friends.

    The punishment to Savvidis and Michel was the proper one. Once the ref ordered the teams to go on the pitch to finish the game and only PAOK came out than I don't see the reason why PAOK was punished by losing the game and points being deducted. In other words the person(s) that caused the whole fiasco will again be assigned to ref games in the future so they can once again influence decision for their masters. Simple as that. 

    All I know is that one team chickened out to come out and play and the other one chickened out when they lost a game on the field. And in both cases the common denominator was the ref that wrote lies in the match report. 

    Your president was present on the field with a gun and threatening people, I would put all bets if it was the other way around you would be very vocal on how unacceptable this is and no chance in hell of you going out to play the rest of the match. You need to be alittle reasonable, saying one team chickened out when you would have been 110% fine with it if it was PAOK shows the bias in your post sorry to say.

    You have a good team this year but you really shouldn't celebrate this one. If games were played on the pitch PAOK would still be ahead on 58 points and you would be on 54.

    Others people stupidity is not our fault, we have been consistent enough and deserve it so if all goes well we will celebrate all night

    Big game, with OIympiakos losing 3 points for their actions in the game with AEK and PAOK I think will also lose 3 points for their actions against AEK, if AEK wins this game we will go very close to winning the league for the first time since 1994!!

    Guys I don't want to see on the team or starting for the NT.

    1) Tziolis - form obvious reasons

    2)Tzavellas 

    3)Taxi - Is s%$#! and slow as hell

    4)Samaris - Only as a bench option but not a starter

    5)Fortounis - Bench option not a starter anymore

    6)Bakasetas - No where near good enough to play for us as we have much better options.

    7)Staf - He's okay but not good enough as a starter good bench option to have

     

    I still don't know what our best midfield option is. Maybe Zeca and Kourb. I think Pelka should start over Fourtounis for now as he brings much more energy and pace. Maybe also mantalos when he returns. Donis and Laz on the wings and Mitro in the middle.  I also like Bakakis.

     

    Also we looked better in the Egypt game 1 because it was Egypt and 2 because more guys played in there natural position and we had much better flow. Skibbe has the habit of asking guys to play where they are not comfortable and that even should with Retsos.. I was always a guy to say Greece can only win by playing defence and we should focus on defence first but as i see these new generation of players we need to start thinking of having a good balance of offence and defence and not be afraid to press and F*** just sitting back. God knows we need all the chances we can get to score and we aren't going to do that by just sitting back anymore..

     Correct and you touch on something I’ve seen for about 2 years now.

    We had the luxury of some amazing defensive mids for years, because the football IQ in Greece is so low the thought has been that we MUST play defensive bullshit. We saw Kats and many other players, and still do like the guys mentioned constantly get call up no matter what, the truth is we have been playing crap, slow and out of form def mids for far too long and we have really suffered for it. How Tziolis, Samaris & Tachtsidis are getting regular call ups is nothing but a joke. Rewarding mediocrity is what’s happening and we see that in our results since the 2014 WC.

    To your point, we have better attacking players now, guys that can run into space and create issues for the opposition, there is a Hungary game, last game of Euro 16 qualifiers where we played a fair few of these players and scored 5 for example.

    With Skibbe at the helm though I feel it’s like we have a child in charge and we are hoping for the day he learns what is the right thing to do...

    Personally I don't think Retsos is very comfortable at RB or LB and if we're playing with 2 DMs who lack attacking skills then Skibbe will be looking for more offensive play than what Retsos has shown at the NT level (not his fault as he's still learning). In the switzerland game it was Skibbe who kept prompting Retsos to move up higher but he really couldn't do much where as Bakakis or even a Kivrakides are much more at ease moving up and down the flank.
    Everyone was exposed against Croatia (Zeca excluded) so I don't think Staf should shoulder the blame...he looked good against Egypt so did Lykogiannis and thats good news....again I don't think Retsos should be used over these 2 at LB. I actually would have preferred Retsos playing with the U21 and seeing if he can improve as a fullback at Leverkusen.....imagine Mavropanos, Xatzidiakos and Retsos at CB for the U21....they would go far in any competition.
