ausgreek Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 That could be the reason we lose 1-0 instead of winning 1-0 or 2-1. ho hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritis_1944 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I fear this match more than playing Bosnia. I hope I'm wrong but I can see a loss or a disappointing draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgelaz Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I think we'll probably get the win but we have to concentrate. ninis, kone, and holebas not being in the lineup would be a crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellasLEAF Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Kone is not someone I want back personally. I've seen enough I think we have better players. Maybe as depth not much more. I do hope we have a strong lineup and the team take this one very seriously or they could easily cop a goal and be in trouble. If they are serious about qualifying this year this has to be 3 points and not too concerned about the scoreline after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argy Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Zeca is not Greek, nor good enough to force an exception. He`s not even good enought to once make the Portugal bench in a friendly, now Greece is gonna compromise its dignity to bring him in to the National Team? I hope this never happens.

Nikitas Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) expected line up according to sport.fm. --------------------------------------karnezis--------------------------------- torosidis-------------manolas--------sokratis------------------holebas --------------------------maniatis------tachtsidis-------------------------- ------------------mantalos------fortounis-------bakasetas-------------- ------------------------------------mitroglou---------------------------------- i cant comment on zeca since i never really looked at him.

jason Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 With that line up we got the win. I think Gianniotas should come in at some point bring some energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your other options are Tachtsidis Maniatis Tziolis and Samaris. Samaris is injured. What happens if Tachtsidis gets 24/7 benched or injued as well? You re left with 2 inactive players. And what happens when these players start and we lose? You come in this forum and cry about these players being part of the NT. He fits in perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikod Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Not crazy about bakasetas and fortounis on the wings. Both good players but not natural wingers. Would be nice for giannotas to get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFIMTL Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 This guy is not serious...he is looking at Maniatis Tziolis ( no team) and Stafylidis to shore up the CDM..meanwhile Tachtsidis played great just last weekend maybe the Germano doesnt read Gazetta dala Sport or catch Rai..Tachtsidis and Giannotas are must starts in place of the 2 donkeys and Bakasetas...why do we complicate things...1-0 87th Maniatis screamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeca isn`t a clear cut upgrade on Samaris or Tachtsidis, he just becomes another decent option in the midfield. More options isn`t a bad thing, but not at this price. Bottom line, this isn`t necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikitas Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 looks like indeed stafylidis will start next to maniatis. if that really happens he clearly dont rate tachtsidis or what? http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/kleidwnei-tou-stafulidi-dipla-ston-maniati/3230332 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikod Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 what a joke, especially with tachtsidis in good form and our midfield incapable of stringing passes together. Is Staf a distribution expert that we don't know about?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Maybe skibbe doesn't want to cop early goal and will sub tachtsidis in later? To be honest against Cyprus no matter who plays we are a better team so no excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikefale11 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I would have gone with; Manolas at RB as he is the fastest between Sokratis and K.Pap. Torosidis has played at LB before and for his clubs. Mantalos is wasted on the wings, he is not a winger end of, CM is obviously not his natural position but definitely more suited than the wings IMO. Taxi is there to provide cover. Holebas has a wicked left foot and can whip in some nice crosses and also we have no other wingers. Gianniotas has done well in his last few outings for the NT and I think deserves his chance. However we will see Maniatis and Tziolis in the middle and Mandalos and Bakasetas both wasted on the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockafeller Skank Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Seems to me we ll be looking to something like this Mitroglou 100% CF Starter Fortounis 10/AMF 100% Starter Sokratis - Manolas CBs 100% Starters Torosidis RB 100% Starter Karnezis GK 100% Starter Then starts the guessing. Our most in form players would probably look like this. But Sadly this aint gonna happen. A) - - - - - - - Mitroglou- - - - - - - - -Mantalos-Fortounis-Gianniotas- -- - Stafylidis - - Tachtsidis - - - - Holebas - Sokra - Manolas - Toro - - - - - - Karnezis- - - - - - - -- - Stafylidis can defend and has good offensive attributes. IS in form and playing a lot. Hie is supposed to know how to defend so Id pick him over a non fit TzioloManiati wombo combo. Don't think of it as bad. Besides we re talking about pickign a shortie over a shortie. Maniatis over Stafylidis or vice versa. Who is worse ? YOU DECIDE. Sadly. Instead of hte scheme I provided. we re gonn asee something like this B) - - - - - - -- - - - -- - Mitroglou- - - - - - - -- - - - - Bakasetas - - -Fortounis - - - -Mantalos- - - - - - - - -Tachtsidis - - -Maniatis- - - - - - - - - -Stafylidis/Tzavellas -Sokra -Manolas -Toro - --- -- - - - - - -Karnezis- - - - - -- - - - -- - - - Skibbe you retard. You re doing it wrong if you go with B)... ****Friendly reminder once again that I rate Maniatis as a player but having only played with NT over the last 2 months doesnt make his name sound flattering to start a tough match like this.

Rockafeller Skank Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 And one last thing. Does anyont know if there have been callu ps for the Injured Diamantakos and Papadopoulos? These are 2 spots that could be easily filled with some exra youth to help them adobt with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratos9 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Taxi should definitely start as the CDM, will be very disappointing to see Skibbe go with someone out of position. We can't take this or the Estonia game lightly. P.S. for those in Australia the game is being shown live on ESPN 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
