No playoffs this season

@georgelaz Kourbelis flop?? He got 10 mins, he at least ran into space unlike Samaris who would pass the ball out.
I really don’t agree with you calling Kourbeli a flop. When the right guys finally came on at the end we looked half decent

Fortounis and Socrates were our worst players today. I forgive Socrates for his soft man marking but Fortounis hasn't done anything in a long while. I don't understand why he doesn't start Pelkas from the beginning and give the kid a go and see what the kid can do especially playing with Donis who in my opinion was the only one running his ass off out there today along with Zeca. What is the kid going to do when he comes on in the 77th minute? This guy Skibbe is starting to get on my nerves. Also he said he would try Koulouris and Limnios. Koulouris came on in the 73rd minute and Limnios didn't play! As another poster said earlier, he called three LB's, Lykogiannis, Stafylidis and Tzavellas and he starts Retsos at LB. This guy is a moron.
Again I agree with all your points, I was the one that pointed out the 3 left backs but as only Skibbe can do... He starts a right back/center back at left back and not 1 left back!!! This says it all for Skibbe... we are been managed by a complete idiot guys, the writing has been on the wall for some time now

Nova commentator saying it was a great performance by all Greek players and things look bright going forward for Euro 2020 qualifying, really?
F*** me dead... Look, we looked ok in part of the first half but besides Donis IMO, the other players did not do anything with the possession. Fortounis was brutal, Bakasetas is not a winger etc...
Only when the subs came on in the last 15-10 mins did we look ok IMO

The sad thing is the line up that we started with will be pretty much the line the Skibbe would choose in important qualifier games... I think we all need t face the fact that we just aren't a good team with an even worse coach... As much as it hurts to say i cant see things changing anytime soon..
We can be a ok to good team but the team Skibbe is setting up is horrible. When Lazaros, Bakakis, Kourbelis and Pelkas came on, these were running, running with ball and into space, Bakakis was so much better than Torosidis, we then had no left back - even when the idiot picked 3 left backs!! We have a hopeless coach who is killing us. Kourbelis and Pelkas ran into spaces and made us look different too

Yet he is in England? Shouldn't have he been present for such a charge?? What will come of this?
-
The ONLY positive, Bakakis, Kourbelis, Lazaros & even Kourbelis running into space
Ironic?
-
7 mins left to even test their keeper
-
Amateur passing, static team, wrong players in wrong positions...
Look at that. Lazaros on break has no options around him and is dispossessed... as long as we are coached by this clueless prick we are going nowhere
-
Lazaros to be subbed on after the goal and Bakakis. Lol Donis off, Bakasetas stays on - Skibbe comedy show

0-1 Switzerland 59th min. Easy goal without a defender near him
-
Too examples of the poor IQ from Torosidis first who after getting ball in space, dribbles to the sideline and is lucky to get a free kick.
Then Bakasetas centrally skies a pass to the wing and we lose possession as the attacks stand and watch

I think and tbh know we are wasting our time with Skibbe at the bench.
So many things we could have tried but got the same old.
Get Lazaros in for Baka on the wing. Give Pelkas a go for Fortounis and give Kourbelis a go in the middle with Zeca.
Give Lyko or Staf a go at left back and tell these guys to run into space

Fortounis showing why others should get a chance to start

Shoot you idiots, not sure who that was, should have shot not pass back to Mitro

A lot of hospital passes from Greece to team mates surrounded by Swiss. Midfield too static as usual. Lazaros would have been good for this game as would a Fetfa

We’re chasing shadows, have not been able to do anything with the ball 8 mins in. Donis wins us a corners
-
Skibbe picks 3 Left backs and starts Retsos there. Wow
Bakasetas on the wing... Fortounis starts again, Karnezis starts, no Kourbelis...
At least Donis starts on wing.

x3, if Skibbe has any brains we see something like that.

I think I have figured it out. I believe the Skibbe is consulting with our former coach Rehhagel on certain players and formations. Rehhagel was always using players out of position, most notably Torosidis as a LB, always calling up the same out of form and not getting any playing time players instead of transitioning new blood into the team. Using crazy formations like the game vs Argentina and our Skibbe I believe did consult with him for our away game with Croatia (what a disaster Maniatis at RB completely lost and Zeca on the RW when he should have been holding mid). There is no other explanation as to why he repeatedly calls up and plays Tziolis when we have so much better. Now I'm reading he might start vs Switzerland. What for???? To see what he can bring to the table? If I had to describe Tziolis his game it is similar to turning a jar of molasses upside down and watching it trickle out ever so slowly. One very knowledgeable guy in Greece told a friend of mine that he uses Tziolis to slow down the game. Yeah no kidding. More like bring it to a screeching halt. That's not the kind of soccer we want to play. Get rid of him already! I cannot watch this guy til Euro 2020. It's like Santos with Karagounis and Katsouranis all day all night and all the time. This is the perfect time to transition new blood into the team. Let Tziolis cheer them on the from the bench PLEASE!!!
Well said sir! I agree with everything you say. I am so sick and tired of seen the same slow players ALWAYS in the Ethniki for so many years

skibbe does not see the other teams doing one-two's down the middle of the pitch all day long and the passes tziolara makes to the opponents?
unreal
All he does is praise Tziolis... he should not have any game time in both these matches. We know what he can offer, this matches should be what we can do to get better for later in the year

It’s very good Dean, dunno if it’s HD but it’s clear

It's simple, these excuses will not stand. Fantasy world stories. OSFP got their "lawyers" together and looked at how they can win what they need to on paper, so yes, naturally they have a "case" for PAOK & AEK to lose so many points and they be paper champions again

If Skibbe was a rubiks cube it would about 2 colors and you still wouldn't be able to connect them all - that sums up his coaching, meanwhile he would still be contempt with that
