Rockafeller Skank Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 3 goals with 0 negative are enough for me to believe that we are upgrading the team. In fact just 0 negative is an improvement. With the defence we have it shouldn't be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekaroos Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 I like what I saw of Greece in the two friendly internationals in Australia. Greece seemed to play a much more aggressive, attacking game than that very casual, think I'm a superstar stuff we saw during Euro 2016 qualifying. Samaris always seems to play better along side Maniatis. He seems to take control of the midfield because Maniatis terrorizes the opposition midfield with his aggressive attitude & add the return of Kyriakos Papadopoulos our attacking players like Fortounis, Mitroglou etc will benefit.

georgelaz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 really happy we're started with a minnow rather than the hardest opposition than the euro a lot of sports is pure momentum so getting an easy win will be huge for our confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 This should be easy, and no I am not being arrogant. Who the hell is Gibraltar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitolos1926 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Karelis....mitroglou Xolebas...mantalos..fortounis..gianniota Samaris Manolas..Papadopoulos..papastatho Karnezis I would go with something like this for this match. We should have no problem netting 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasl Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) okay so goal differential could be important if we have a good qualification. Should Ninis or fetfatzidis be playing in this match to help create some chances. Edited August 30, 2016 by nasl spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausgreek Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) For Ninis to play that means either Fortounis or Mantalos miss out. Fetfa plays, either Gianniotas or Bakasetas miss out. I'd go with who we have. Which other dm would we replace Tziolis with, perhaps Kourbelis though he hasn't had a shot yet?

Chris Tsamados Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If we lose this game I think we should withdraw from all future competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1078 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 ^I'd go as far as saying if we even draw this game we should withdraw.. anything but a dominate performance with a convincing win will be disastrous for the team and its chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK we lost to Faroe Islands .... but surely we cannot lose to Gibraltar. Seriously !!!

Siopis is a good Tziolis replacement. Kid helpd Panionios defence when Hatziisaias left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I read that Skibbe has sent scouts to both of Gibraltar`s friendly games. I'm so glad he is taking this game for granted. It is so important to instill a winning mindset from the get-go. Although qualifications stretch out a year, there are only 10 matches and just one team qualifies automatically. Every game, every goal, is important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1078 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 ^ I agree, we are in no position to take any team for granted even Gibraltar.. The last thing we want to do is go in the history books again for another nations win just like the Faroe Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tsamados Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Especially when this is Gibraltars first ever competitive International. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 That's not really the case. They have 18 full international games, including Euro qualifying games under their belt. They have 1 win against Malta and draws against Liechtenstein and Estonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED SHERIFF Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I would play Holebas at LB,,,, Is he played at LM to cover the left side defensively against better opposition or is he played LM because he is our best LM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
