La Mendel Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Tsanas said to the press that he hadnt decide the lineup yet (compare with the statement of many sites today "eight players will probably start"). Press conference with Tsanas and Tziolis: http://www.sport24.gr/football/ellada/ethniki_elladas/tsanas-theloyme-na-kanoyme-mia-nea-arxh.3645084.html 1
La Mendel Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Gazzetta.gr says Tsanas chose the 4-4-2 system (source: http://www.gazzetta.gr/football/article/796298/me-4-4-2-kai-ena-erotimatiko-o-tsanas-pic). The lineup I copied in in the morning was a hoax (I found the Kitsiou part of it very surprising). After Thursday training it seems that Tziolis will start as a defensive midfielder instead of Kyriakos Papadopoulos. Karnezis will be the keeper, Vyntra (and ofc not Kitsiou), Manolas, Papastathopoulos and Holebas will be the defenders. Tziolis, Samaris, Fortounis, and one of the Fetfatzidis-Kone duo will be in the center. Mitroglou and Karelis will attack. (I can easily imagine that this will be another 4-3-3, with Tziolis as CDM, Kone/Fetfatzidis on the right wing and Karelis as a LW - although the picture shows quite another formation with Kone as LM.) Tachtsidis and K. Papadopoulos can also play tomorrow. Tsanas will decide about the lineup on Friday morning, he said that to the players. He wants them to be alert. The lineup (it is reported ofc, but more plausible than that in the morning): http://wcdn.gazzetta.gr/sites/default/files/11ada_elladas.jpg' title="
CPAO Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Please tell me Tziolis has at least been decent for PAOK this year.
Omonoia9 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 If true, that's a disappointing lineup. I just want to see a win!
paokarag4 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Aravidis on the wing? Has he ever played there AEK fans?
CPAO Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Tax and Samaris don't work well together.... It's like Gerrard and Lampard .... Bahahaha Edited September 4, 2015 by CPAO 1
Original 21 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Aravidis on the wing? Has he ever played there AEK fans? Yeah it's his natural position.
paokarag4 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I was under the impression he was primarily a centre forward, my mistakeI honestly don't mind the look of that line-up, but I've felt that way about every team we've put out these qualifiers, they have just severely under performed. If these guys play anywhere near what they are capable we will win, that being said any win will do.
ausgreek Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Anyone know a decent place in Sydney to watch the game? ESPN 3, streaming or SKYsports1 are a myth. Cr card details are private and to stay that way.
georgelaz Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I predict 2-0 Greece. Mitroglou & Aravidis to score. Let's see. 1
ausgreek Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Greece 2-1 over the Fins. Fortounis and Karelis.
J1078 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Sports net is actually showing this game on TV in Toronto.
ausgreek Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Toronto appreciates Greece soccer. Sydney just ain't up to it! Not like there aren't any greeks here or something. I think fox has darts or replay of some baseball match in dumb f.. two or something.
Omonoia9 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 Please, I'll settle for an old fashioned 1-0 win over lackluster opposition. Just win one for the love of God! 2
levendis Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 seeing alot of scores with people predicting we will score more than one goal. We've already begun drinking today havent we? 2
Omonoia9 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 We'll win 1-0 off some ugly goal in added time.
J1078 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I honestly don't see us winning I see a tie at best. I hope I'm wrong.
pash Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Lineup: Karnezis, Vyntra, Papadopoulos, Papastathopoulos, Holebas, Tziolis, Fortounis, Aravidis, Samaris, Mitroglou, Karelis 1
pash Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I'm glad Manolas isn't starting. About time they stop rewarding his shitty performances. Vyntra is an awful choice, though.
maggica Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 ^pash, im glad manolas isn't starting either, hes been terrible for greece the past year. I expect good games from fortounis and aravidis 1
Nikitas Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 papadopoulos can be crucial with corners and free kicks. whats the formation? 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1. i dont expect anything from this match by the way. lets just wait and see. offcourse vyntra and tziolis shouldnt be in the line up but ok.
Omonoia9 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 GREECE 1 Karnezis(GK) 11 Vyntra 14 Papadopoulos 19 Papastathopoulos(Captain) 20 Holebas 6 Tziolis 10 Fortounis 21 Aravidis 22 Samaris 9 Mitroglou 16 Karelis BENCH 12 Kapinos(GK) 13 Vellidis(GK) 3 Giannoulis 4 Manolas 5 Moras 15 Kitsiou 8 Kone 17 Tachtsidis 18 Fetfatzidis 23 Platellas 7 Fountas Manager: Kostas Tsanas(GRE)
