ausgreek Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 I've noticed that when they play at Karaiskaki, the team is picked 9-10 days out. Man they leave it late-always like a bride going around the church 11 times.
Rockafeller Skank Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 I dont think its late 9-10 days out.
georgelaz Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 so Samaris is out? that's a huge blow, he's our best midfielder besides Fortounis. Ninis, Tachtsidi, and Karelis should all be new addition starts (in comparison to GIlbratar)
RED SHERIFF Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 and that game was 5-6 years ago....(v Israel)
Rockafeller Skank Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) 2-1 play it. Gianniotas scores, Efraim Scores. Fortounis Penalty. Mitroglou 15-20 chances on target/crossbar. Edited September 26, 2016 by Rockafeller Skank 1
ausgreek Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Tziolara comes on at the 65 min mark and scores a thunderbolt from 30m out!! 1
georgelaz Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 yes our classic 1-0's have started to become 2-1's. That's what I expect from this game.
ausgreek Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Your going to have a lot of relatives come out from under rocks to fall over themselves to be your besties then Amorgi!
J1078 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Skibbe is an idiot. Another incompitant coach who makes bone headed decisions.
Akritis_1944 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 At least Taxi and Kyriako got picked. I thought the latter was injured. Surely Maniatis and Tziolis won't see the field. I'm disappointed that Skibbe would select them.
RED SHERIFF Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 the only 'logic' for these two is that Samaris is injured and we have zero CM options.
RED SHERIFF Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Bouchalakis i believe is injured.. Siopis is an option...Korbos and Tsoukalas are not...Maniatis and Tziolis are still better footballers... Siopis lack of size may be an issue.. Anyway..Skibbe will be hard pressed to call the duo in November with Samaris back and Kone now getting game time..
RED SHERIFF Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 he offers more.....in the sense that the other guys are below par for Intl.level.. we are essentially talking about poor or poorer options...really hitting bottom of the barrel.. hence why i would play..Taxi...Fortounis..Mandalos. in the midfield...I'd rather have my best players on the park..Instead of poor options to maintain a 'scheme' 1
Nikitas Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 for the people who didnt know , kyriakos only had a bruised knee , nothing special , i dont know if he is already fit. ninis isnt a starter anymore for charleroi.
Brklyngrk Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Love or hate him, Maniatis hustles the entire 90 minutes and the coach has become fond of him...they both just recently stopped playing for their teams. If he picks them again in November and they still haven't found a team....They probably won't play anyway...
J1078 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 ^ Its still a mistake when there are better players to choose from. Even if Kone or Ninis aren't starting for this team they should definitely be called up. Tziolis should never be called up for this team. By tziolis being called up it just shows the incompetent's of this coaching staff. Here is the problem, lets say Tziolis and or maniatis plays and we end up beating Cyprus and Estonia then in Skibbes mind he probably would want to stay with a winning formula against Bosnia and or Belgium and that's when we will end up losing our qualifications because we will spanked if those two are in the line up against those teams. Just my opinion.
Rockafeller Skank Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Holebas selected at least. Hope he does see the field instead of Tzavellas. I'd also like to see Kitsiou be selected but he doesn't really play. Too bad the lad didn't ask to be loaned. I guess we really dont have any more valid CMs who have proven their worth with the NT apart from Maniatis and Tachtsidis (I should add too but he hasn't really proved nothin). I expect a midfield of Maniatis - Tachtsidis. And I also expect a starting Gianniotas.

Just my opinion. Kone had playing time the previous month. Ninis. I just ain't sure. Everyone hypes when Ninis scores 1-2 goals in a month I mean c'mon. Lad seems done for. Lost precious time in Genoa , lost precious time at Paok, lost precious time by having no team, and hten went to one of the bad Belgian sides (a GSL level championship only being better at creating players) and everyone praises him. Siopis not called is obsurd, but maybe he is young and that's an excuse. You can't field a 22 year old hyped to play for his NT in a crucial match. Hope We see Gianniotas instead of Bakasetas.
georgelaz Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) samaris,fortounis, mantalos, taxi, kone, ninis, fetfa should be our main midfielders Edited September 28, 2016 by georgelaz
HellasTO Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I really hope Gianniotas, Taxi and Maniatis start. I know Maniatis doesn't have a club, but you can always count on him to give you everything he has. To me, Gianniotas seems like that kind of kid as well. 2-0 is my hopeful score line but I think we win 2-1. PAME
J1078 Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) 12 hours ago, tantra129 said: skibbe is showing some very bad signs Totally agree.. I don't know how any coach can justify calling up Tziolis or having a player with limited to NO skill get called up when they have no club. It's ridiculousl. The bad trend continues with Skibbe from his horrible subs in the Gibraltar game to the questionable call ups during friendlies. Regardless of the results the fact that he is not using and giving time to more talented players with a better upside is very disturbing. Has anyone seen good signs from this coach? I haven't. Now is the time to play Ninis and Kone against the weaker teams and maybe they can build some confidence and chemistry with this team and possibly have them ready for Bosnia and Belgium. Edited September 29, 2016 by J1078
georgelaz Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 yes I recall a point where more people on the forums were for tzavella than holebas holebas is our best lb though now tzavellas is still good tho and good for bench. versatile.
Greekaroos Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Kyriakos Papadopoulos played as a defensive central midfielder with Schalke reaching the Semi Final of the UEFA Champions League & with national in that campaign against Israel & Croatia for South Africa 2010. Torosidis can play as central midfielder also but then you weaken the right back position in attack by playing Oikonomou or Maniatis there.
Nikitas Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) at the moment diamantakos is injured , how bad isnt known yet. sokratis and kapino are not fully fit and are training seperate. manolas , holebas and mitroglou didnt joined up with the ethniki yet. http://www.sport24.gr/football/ellada/ethniki_elladas/xwris-manwla-xolempas-kai-mhtrogloy-h-proponhsh-ths-ethnikhs.4297398.html Edited October 4, 2016 by Nikitas
