Rockafeller Skank Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Tzavellas still looking sloppy. Kudos to him though for not letting that ball go out and us ending up in 2-0. Ref is tired of Cypriot diving and he is not giving them fouls. This is good. Also I think Tzavellas did sort of foul at our 1-0, but there was a handball previously so no point to cry about it. Defender fell too easily so made it look like a dive.

Don't they realise household stars like Tzavellas, Staylidis and Maniatis are playing? Lol with the players mentioned but It's been pissing down rain and lighting strikes for over an hour before kickoff here in Athens.

Stafylidis pressing gave us hte first goal. The guy is legit, at least against worse teams like Cyprus and Estonia, when we need aggressive play. Tzavellas I agree. Maniatis I agree, but also playing his usual RUNNING DOG role, which is pretty helpful.
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Just now, Reaper said: Ref also missed Tzavellas pulling an attacking Cypriot player back by the shirt meaning he just missed the header on goal. Yes he is sloppy. The only chance they made was by his mistake. Like Gibraltar. I don't think well make it to Russia with Tzavellas as a starter. Honestly. Like Stafylidis DMF , u can't use him as a starter vs Belgium or Bosnia.

J1078 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) No they're not gifting us the match. The positive here is even though we aren't playing great we are still up 2-0 which is positive. Now if we can tighten up and control the pace in the second half and make sure we get a clean sheet then it's a good day for us. Edited October 7, 2016 by J1078
Nikod Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Mantalos, fortounis and mitro are developing a nice chemistry 1
Original Sydney Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Was about to say the same thing Nikod 1
Nikod Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Karnezis has been very impressive dealing with crosses and high balls today
Nikod Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Can you imagine this game with holebas' speed and tachtsidis' range of passing?
Omonoia9 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Cyprus substitution: Christofi IN Charalambides OUT
Omonoia9 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Greece substitution: Papadopoulos IN Stafylidis OUT
Nikod Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Lol at sokratis thinking he's a forward all the sudden. Showing some nice skill tho

If Skibbe has any sense he will start him for the bigger games against Bosnia and Belgium. Today we have enough talent up front to put us out of reach of Cyprus. A few mistakes in selection for this one my opinion but didn't cost us.
Nikod Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Bakasetas off for Holebas. Not sure if announcer called his name once
Omonoia9 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Final Cypriot substitution: Makris IN Mytidis OUT
Nikod Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Player ratings Karnezis: 6.5. Did he have a single save to make? Very solid on crosses Toro: 6. Standard from him. Decent going forward, a couple good crosses and clearances but occasionally let the winger in behind him Sokratis: 7. Solid at the back. Got forward well. Wish he could organized the back four a bit better but has no players shielding the defense Manolas: 6.5. Good game. Silly decision on the trap shows why he's an occasional liability. Tzavellas: 5. Get lost. Silly fouls, giveaways, poor crossing. Staf: 5.5. Why is he playing in midfield? One good pass Maniatis: 5. So many fouls. No ability to regulate tempo of game Bakasetas: 5. Anonymous Fortounis: 7. I like the chemistry he is developing with Mitro and Mantalos Mantalos: 8. man of the match IMO, even playing out wide. Great finish, albeit from a gift Mitro: 6.5. Great to get a goal but so many giveaways. Would be nice to see him and the other forward players running onto balls from a deep-lying playmaker. Subs K. Pap: 6.5. Beast mode Holebas: 6. Needs to start. Has courage to take guys on. Still not a great defender tho. karelis: N/A Edited October 7, 2016 by Nikod 2
Omonoia9 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Final Greek substitution: Karelis IN Tzavellas OUT All changes have been made
