RED SHERIFF Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 not sure how they are in Cyprus...but the ones in Melbourne are dog ugly.... except for the top 5%.... and yes...what a horrible accent....
RED SHERIFF Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 it just adds to the debate......you mean theoretical or mythical? any way...Mitro is approaching his best club form in his career....If he continues like this until Christmas.
georgelaz Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I've met knocks outs in every ethnicity. Mitroglou works well with ninis & kone and they're doing decent right now. He also used to work well with Salpingidis but his ethniki days seem over.
Nikitas Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 he wont be playing tonight since he has sprained his ankle.
Nikitas Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 he could be back for benfica's next match on sunday against boavista. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abola.pt%2Fnnh%2Fdestaque.aspx%3Fid%3D580981%26zona%3D1%26t%3D3
Nikitas Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 came on as a sub in the 56th minute when it was 1-0 , benfica won 2-0. hopefully he will win his starting spot back soon. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdesporto.sapo.pt%2Ffutebol%2Fprimeira_liga%2Fartigo%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2Fmitroglou-estamos-no-caminho-certo
georgelaz Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 he's our best striker by a long shot and will be for the next 3-5 years so gotta make this work to his style. (unless there's surprises) he works best with good creators, so fortounis, mantalos, ninis, pelkas are all super important for him. Samaras was a striker who could create something out of nothing because he was a striker/midfielder. Mitroglou is a more gifted pure striker but needs a good midfielder to be effective. It's good that he's showing frustration (which I was confident all along that he cares for the ethniki) but he should reserve that energy for the next play rather than trying to prove himself to the fans that he cares. The greek media has been on his ass though, so it might've been a wise move on his part
Nikitas Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 started and scored the 0-1 against lisboa in a cup match last weekend , benfica again(for this 3th time this season) lost against them , this time with 2-1.
georgelaz Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) ^ ya mitroglou cracked open the score in the 6th minute for benfica in the derby cup game against sporting. sporting one it extra time 112 minute (2-1 final) http://sportyhighlights.com/sporting-cp-vs-benfica-2-1-highlights/ Mitroglou & Samaris celebrating the goal together with other Benfica players too Edited November 29, 2015 by georgelaz
maggica Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 benfica beat braga 2-0 away yesterday. i saw the highlights- despite not scoring, mitro played well...he was drawing fouls, had chances, and showed lots of strength and skill to set up benfica's opening goal (although he was not credited with an assist for some reason)...he did a nice backheel pass to set up the first goal
georgelaz Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 ^ all the more proof that it's our midfield that needs work. Before, we mainly relied on Samaras, who's a quasi Striker / Midfielder that can create chances from nothing. Mitroglou is a overall better striker, but needs attacking mids to be effective, which Benfica has and Greece does too (but barely played in proper combos) 1
Dean97 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Like who. Who is talented like Mitroglou. He might a lazy player but he is the most effective player we have at the moment. Klaus I don't think we should play. The only player that comes to mind is Karelis. But Mitroglou is our best, meaning as in strikers for Greece. 2
georgelaz Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Mitroglou with a midfield Fortounis, Tachtsidis, Pelkas, Ninis/Mantalos will score probably every other game. Not playing Mitroglou is like saying you don't want to use a shotgun because it doesn't come with ammo. The attacking mids are the ammo. He's not pistolero for nothing.

RED SHERIFF Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Vellios needs to continue...he is coming off 3 very poor seasons some at a very poor clubs/standard....
georgelaz Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I'm a big fan of Mitroglou so it'll take a lot to convince me that any other of our strikers are better. We should have started Velios in the Luxenbourg game. That was a mistake. Mitroglou should've score a goal or two against Costa Rica. Navas was in god mode. The saves were a matter of inches and I think many people would be vouching for Mitro had he buried them. Also, no one really scored for Greece the past 2 years. So that crumbles that point lol. But yo, I like your posts GrkCdn. You're often contrarian, and you say your piece and make good points, regardless if it gets people worked up.

Dean97 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Club form and NT form are two different things. NT selection is chosen by club form and at the moment he is our best striker playing in a top league. There are very few friendly matches and you need to win qualifying matches, that's when you need an inform striker you. He is no where near the form he was in 2013 but is slowly getting back to that form. Vellios should be the back up for Mitroglou and not Klaus.
georgelaz Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Hopefully 2016 we can start calling him Mitrogod.
Nikitas Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 he refused an offer from spartak , they wanted to hire him. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.record.xl.pt%2Ffutebol%2Ffutebol-nacional%2Fliga-nos%2Fbenfica%2Fdetalhe%2Fmitroglou-recusa-spartak-moscovo.html
georgelaz Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Yeah he needs to stay in Southern Europe. Greece, Portugal, Italy, France, Spain is where he would prosper IMO. Makria apo England, Russia, Germany (debatable). I can see him doing really well in Italy where he would tower over most defenders.

georgelaz Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Seems Mitroglou is no longer a starter at Benfica and lost his position to Raul Jimenez. Watched the last few games where he sat on the bench. I'm confident he'll still play a good share of games remaining. Benfica prefers playing with two strikers, and him and Jonas work great together. I think he's just trying to instill some fear in him so he wakes up. also Benfica is the highest scoring team in the Primeira Liga right now. Only 3rd with a game in hand to grab 2nd though.

Nikitas Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Seems Mitroglou is no longer a starter at Benfica and lost his position to Raul Jimenez. Watched the last few games where he sat on the bench. i think the same count's for samaris , losing his spot to fejsa. benfica is playing at the moment and both mitro and samaris are on the bench. benfica is up 0-1 against cd nacianal and jonas scored the goal..
Nikitas Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 mitroglou came on in the 73th minute and scored a goal. thats what he needs. http://www.flashscore.com/match/fiwvvLbd/#match-summary
georgelaz Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 9 goals in 23 games for Benfica... not too shabby for just a first season! I think next year he'll be even better, like Samaris, getting acclimated to the league.
