Yo, that phantis forum beef was entertaining to watch. Brings back memories of me and Boxou

We need a GK. In expected goal stats, Pashalakis is 14th in the super league at 5.6 more goals than expected. Meaning that he let in 5+ goals that should have been saved. Vaclik is #1

Kurtic on a PK

away goals is a thing, correct? For this cup.

We have to stop the narrative that Olympiakos controls the league. How many penalties have we gotten? Over the past 4 years we have gotten 10 more PK's than any other team in the league. What do you think they say about us and Savvidis?

I like your optimism, but I don't have the same. Well, I agree with a lot you said but then I will get into my thinking. But first, point by point let's go over it. Theoretically, you could put Sastre at RB and Lyratzis at LB, but I like Sidclay too, so having 3 quality wing backs isn't a bad thing. Kurtic to me has a short fuse and when he is distracted by other things he has bad games. He needs to take it down a notch and focus on playing more simple. I have been really impressed with Mitrita as of late. I didn't know he had that burst of speed he showed yesterday. Him on the left and Zivkovic on the right, with Jaba as a sub is quality. Ultimately, we beat a sorry PAO team. They are struggling to make it to the top half of the playoffs so I wouldn't put too much into the win. As it is, we struggled for the first 60 minutes or so. Defense and goalkeeping will lose us games. 9 points behind olympiakos, is the league still possible? Yes. But the fact Razvan didn't play for the win in our game against them, I think that cost us the league. Had we won that game, we'd only be 6 behind and a real possibility of winning the league. I do not have high expectations for the cup. Going there and getting a result will be tough.

Goal of the Year !?

Best CB in the league!

So we spend 3 million euros on a playmaker… and when we need playmaking ability, we don’t sub him in?

Which means he will wait till the 75th min to make a sub. Also, why did Kurtic get a yellow? Yea he got up pissed and ran towards Alexandropolous but he didn’t make contact or say anything. You can’t be carded for almost doing something…

How is this a VAR check? He clears the ball lol

Crossbar Colak

He gets beat every single time down that side. He’s out of position and always drifts too forward.

Vierinha has gotten beat 2/3 teams already. He got embarrassed there

Wtf was Pashalakis doing there? He didn’t even try and make the save

Poyet employs an attacking 4-3-3. In 27 games he coached with CD Universidad Catolica only 5 did he use another formation. So I assume he will be bringing that w/ him to the national team. A back four w/ 2 8's and a 10. Two wingers then a natural striker.

Must win to : 1) Keep pressure on Olympiakos (9 pts is a lot, but we still have 2 games against them) 2) Solidify a top 3 finish 3) Not freak out if we drop a game or two down the road

You can be my plus one next time

Damn! If only he didn’t party every day and go to swinger clubs!

But that wasn’t your original comment and complaint. So only the real good players who have great pedigree can go party? You said the opposite earlier. And Instagram! Haha people post pictures and videos to show off to us meek who are sitting in 20 degree weather

Oh? Then tell me why Ronaldo was in Dubai this past weekend. Also , Lewandowski was out snowboarding on the mountains after he went to collect his trophy for best player of the year award. What about the players who go play internationally. Don’t they go to hotels with… other people there…? Couple weeks ago Alphonso Davies was pictured in Mexico with his FINE girlfriend. Trent-Alexander Arnold is in the Maldives currently. De Bruyne is in some island paradise also. Are these the top footballers you’re mentioning?

So these people aren't allowed to go anywhere else? I am not sure about the restrictions for football players in Greece, hence the question. And who is to say no one else got it and passed it onto him, but the original person is asymptomatic. Also, if you think every single player in the Superleague just spends their time at their club and home, I have a beachfront home in Nebraska to sell you.

Well, he is our best CB at the moment. He saved our butts a couple of times as well. Yes it's his job, but he's good at it. If you have a job to do and are good at it, say the best at your company, wouldn't you say you've done a good job? He's not a world beater defender. He's not even prime Varela. But defensively, he has been very solid for us. He's playing as a no-nonsense CB. It isnt his job to play long balls in the air. Like I always defend Esiti. Esiti is good at his job, F****ing things up in the midfield for opponents.

Marcel Koller's preferred formation is a 4-2-3-1 which is very defensive in modern football. Poyet's is a 4-3-3. Looking at Koller's international performances (he has never beaten Greece btw). He qualified for the 2016 Euro Championships and was undefeated in qualifiers (vs Russia, Sweden, Montenegro, Lichenstein, Moldova). These were the results : Austria - Sweden 1-1 Moldova - Austria 1-2 Austria - Montenegro 1-0 Austria - Russia 1-0 Lichenstein - Austria 0-5 Russia - Austria 0-1 Sweden - Austria 1-4 Montenegro - Austria 2-3 Austria - Lichenstein 3-0 When he got to the Euro's he went 3 games and out losing to Hungary 0-2, Iceland 2-1, and drawing Portugal 1-1.

Yea I was confused as well about that comment.
