paoboston Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We are underdogs but it's the best draw we could have hoped for this early in the season. There's still a couple more weeks of training so hopefully the A squad will be primed and ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asteras Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 that 87-88 campaign if kapetanios hadn't of sacked daniil and brought in that dumb swede bengston not only would we have knocked out brugge but could well have gone on to win the whole thing.

Asteras Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) on the contrary to what some might want you to believe I am not against old players,i am against old players playing in positions that require young legs,fitness and high work rate,i haven't said one negative thing about tavlaridi and he is older than the croats. I was against petric because he was starting in front of karelis,when karelis is clearly the better player and works much harder for the team,if petric and kareli play 1v1 kareli will beat him 10 - 0 as for pranjic he came here as a left back,wing back,anastsiou sticks him in the midfield,which is where you need mobility and hard work ,zeka,abeid,lagos type players,he wasn't playing him as a dekari if he was we could compensate but as a center or holding mid and we paid the price,just look at xanthi game which we lost 4-2 petric pranjic and mendez were woeful no work ethic at all they didn't have the legs. now pranjic if you believe the media reports will replace nano at left back,good this is his position,this is where he has always played ,he can pick and time his runs from there and allow some young energetic midfielders to do the dirty work ,scrap and fight for every inch ,this is not pranjcs go,to beat brugge we must win the midfield battle this is true for most games. when you lose the ball and this happens a lot in football ,what happens in the next 3-5 seconds is crucial,that transition from attack to defence and vica versa is crucial and you need players like zeka etc in that midfied to win that ball back as soon as it is lost,or when it is won to go from defence mode to attacking mode all this requires hard work and fitness and speed. and this is the problem we face with essien. the midfield is for mobile players,at left back pranjic with his experience can set and go at his own pace and pick when to overlap etc and im sure at left back he will do a good job. if nano is fit he can sit on the bench.

Giourkas Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 You bring up compelling points Asteras. But I choose to adopt a wait an see approach when it comes to Essien.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paoboston Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Is Steele still having lingering back issues? Also, Brugge hasn't exactly lit it up in their domestic league. They have been struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paoboston Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 No they haven't... the league hasn't even started yet You're right. Not sure why I thought their season already started. But they haven't won a friendly since they beat us 2-1 and they lost their Super Cup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paotrella Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The friendly result against Udinese and the defence deficiencies is the best outcome leading into the Brugge match. It has highlighted what most people suspect, the defensive line needs more time to gel together, especially where Wemmer, Sanchez and Pranjic are all playing in new roles. It is now up to Anastasiou to play the right formation to cover our defensive shortcomings, a 4-3-2-1 may have to be considered. Put Koutroubi in front of the defenders with Zeca and Lagos in front of him. Then Lod and Ajagun can cover the front half with Berg up front. Play down the flanks with the full backs. The key is to conceded no goals in the first leg, a nil all result will be a positive. Our back 4 alone will not be able to keep a clean sheet.

Grkfreezer624 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Our defense is WAAAAAYYY too slow.... thats what will make us pay.... Tavlaridi is slower than a turtle... and the million dollar man Sanchez is still thinking of tail in Ibiza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paotrella Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 ^^^ Sanchez had his own tail in Ibiza.... and he is bringing her to Athens. Dont forget that Gordon wasn't quick either, our defense should not be any worse in terms of speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritis_1944 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Nano's been injured I read. He's also not the youngest going around but then again he's younger than Rat of PAOK. Edited July 24, 2015 by Akritis_1944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
