Greekaroos Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yeah it was a surprise to see him starting. Not sure if Gomez is injured or suspended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Gomes had a back spasm apparently. Watford lost 2-0, one of the goals was a penalty conceded by a watford defender. he might be a little disappointed with the 2nd goal he copped. mahrez was on a tight angle and still managed to slot it past him, it was a pretty good finish though. Apart from that he looked okay, made a few routine saves. Unfortunately for him he'll be back on the bench as soon as Gomes is fit again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekaroos Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Karnezis in goal for Watford in it’s away EPL match overnight again Stoke City. Full-time 0-0. It’s funny how quiet we are when he has a good match or keeps a clean sheet but when he has one occasional bad match the whole world is reminded on this site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean97 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The thing is he is not as good for country as he is for club. It's frustrating when he plays sometimes because you expect better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brklyngrk Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 He has played ok with the ethniki outside of the last game against Croatia (which he shouldn't have started being that he hadn't played in months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more that he is at his prime age as a keeper and he is a #2 with starts few and far-between. Until he plays regularly at Watford or goes to a club where he is a #1, how much can one say about him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Mendel Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Karnezis started again as Watford won 4-1 versus Chelsea. He conceded a penalty of Eden Hazard. To Brklyngrk: He wasnt that bad against Croatia. Only the first goal was partly his fault (and partly that of Tzavellas). He was then rendered helpless by his defenders before the second, the third and especially the fourth goal when Stafylidis assisted literally one of the Croatians and he had a string of fine saves. Actually he was one of our better performers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The goal he conceded wasn't from a penalty. Hazard's goal was a curler from outside the box. He made a good save on Giroud late in the game. That's 3 league games in a row he's started. Hopefully he holds his spot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxou Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 he has also started in a cup game against southampton in that period^ good for him that he's getting some playing time lately, and probably he feels justified for his decision not to go to club brugge last month.

Greekaroos Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Question to all: Was the Watford v Chelsea match on 5 February 2018 the first time that two Greek footballers were in the starting lineup of a English Premier League match? There probably was two or three having started for Sheffield United in the English League Championship back in the late 90’s & not sure if Angelos Basinas & Kostas Chalkias ever started in the same match for Portsmouth? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Xalkias and Basinas played at Portsmouth a few years apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skibbe spinelessly opting to start Maniatis over Retsos at RB was a massive error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Mendel Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think maybe Chalkias and Skopelitis started together for Portsmouth in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Mendel Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Apparently both of them started in February 2005 in a 2-1 Premier League loss against Manchester United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanagiotisScordis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Karnezis has started the game against West Ham along side Holebas. 15 minutes in and his had 2 vital saves. He's doing very well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Another start for him against Everton and a clean sheet in the 1-0 win. Gomes was fit again but Watford manager Gracia started Oresti again.

paokarag4 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Another clean sheet for him and another win for Watford. This time a 1-0 win against bottom placed West Brom. That's 3 clean sheets for him in this run of 6 straight starts in the league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Bad couple of weeks for Watford and himself against some of the bigger sides. 3-0 loss to Arsenal last week, 5-0 loss over night at Liverpool. Was at fault for Arsenal's 3rd last week, was a bit of a howler. Not hugely at fault for any of the 5 today, but there's one or 2 where you think a really really good keeper might make a save or do better. In saying that, he made 2-3 pretty solid stops as well. Interesting to see if he retains his spot after the international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgelaz Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 yeah hard to say if he keeps his starting position after that. despite the score line didn'tplay terribly. 10 shots on goal... that's a lot salah hat trick on him and we're facing egypt. let's hope our defense does a better job...

Argy Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Well Greece`s Defense should be better than Watford`s even if they play their backup CBs and Egypt isn`t Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 He does hold his spot in the starting XI, Watford v Bournemouth kicking off in just under 10 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argy Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 So this came pretty much out of left field: Karnezis is set for a medical at Napoli tomorrow. Wonderful move for him and Greek pedigree in Europe. The bigger the team, however, the tougher it will be to earn playing time and a starting job. If he signs there and plays, this will be great for the NT as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
