Omonoia9 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Bump, it's getting closer. Any word on callups yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzatziki Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Below is a list of players from abroad that have been called up, but the whole squad has not been announced as far as I know. Also Moras is a question mark he picked up a knock last match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritis_1944 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The article that Tzatziki quoted is from late last week. Since then both Kyriakos and Sokratis played full matches in the Bundesliga so I'd expect them to get named as well as Mitroglou, Samaris, Karelis, Papazoglou and the GSL based players. Hopefully we'll see Vellios and Bakasetas' names on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 This is supposed to be a new start (rebuilding process) for the NT. Not sure what players such as Tzavellas, Tziolis, Moras are doing on the team. Also, not sure why players with limited talent are being called up either (Siovas, Diamantakos, Pelkas).

Dean97 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I don't why Skibbe has called up 6cbs and 3Lbs. Also we have to many strikers. Kitsiou should have been called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean97 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Everyone knows that Manolas, Papadopoulos and Sokratis have the CB position covered for the next 5-10 years. Siovas should not be there. Good thing that Vyntra did not get called up. I also noticed that Lazaros and Kone did not get called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausgreek Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) To keep picking Tzioli, Skibbe has not got enough trust in Tachtsidis and Samaris as vision-passing type players, to play together as dm's. They would play as one at dm, while the other is at cm. They won't both be dm. Skibbe wants more experience in that zone, and he views Tzioli, unfortunately as one of these, although his passing game is not great quality. At least Petsos is still 22 years old, as is prospective Kourbelis, who must be picked in the squad, and trusted to do what he knows.

georgelaz Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Tziolis isn't that bad, and his playing style was never one that was perishable with age eg) strong, power shot, interceptions. So the fact that he's in his 30s in negligible. Samaris is obviously way better though & Petsos should eventually eclipse him. Tachtsidis is unique because he's more of a deep lying attacking midfielder like Pirlo rather than his defensive abilities (which are decent as well).

maggica Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm very disappointed with the callups, I don't know where to begin. Why do we need 6 cbs and 5 strikers? Why do we only have 1 rb and 2 goalies? And where are the wingers? Siovas, moras, and Tziolis aren't good enough. The goalie lambrou should have been called up. An additional right back not named vyntra as well...perhaps kitsiou or bakakis? Lazaros and/or Kaltsas to have some wingers. Could someone tell me the type of player that bakasetas is? I mean, his playing style.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
