ausgreek Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Taxi is not in the squad I believe. Tziol is licking his chops! The squad has an injection of more youth again with Siopi and Koutroubi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikitas Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 sport.fm comes with these possibilities. if the stafylidis dm story is true if maniatis isnt fit then why the F*** call up 2 more dm's in the likes of siopis and koutroubis. that spot is really worrying me. ----------------------------------karnezis------------------------------ torosidis-------papadopoulos-----sokratis-------tzavellas/stafylidis ------------------------samaris-------maniatis/stafylidis-------------- gianniotas/karelis-------------fortounis------------------mantalos -----------------------------------mitroglou------------------------------ http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/paizodai-duo-theseis-stin-ethniki/3241017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikitas Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 bakasetas left the training yesterday and probably wont be ready for tomorrow. maniatis and petsos trained with the group. http://www.sport24.gr/football/ellada/ethniki_elladas/xwris-mpakaseta-h-proponhsh-ths-ethnikhs.4367211.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausgreek Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Koutroubis is firstly a CB, Maniatis isn't as match fit as he would normally be, and Skibbo likes to move Stafylidis around, like to replace Tzavellas. Siopis and Petsos are the back-up DM's. Tzioli will be there taking up a spot. Edited November 12, 2016 by ausgreek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been very strong anti Greek reactions when Greece has played in Bosnia in the past...all with a political and historical motive...(lest we forget)... To put it mildly Bosnians would not be high up on my Christmas card list.. I am Bosnian and have been to Greece and Cyprus with never having had any issues awesome places !!! Not sure why greeks think we hate them. As for the last game between us yes your anthem was drowned out but that was a retaliation to burning our flag in the first game not because you are greek. All in all this for us is just another game against a solid team. These bosnian fans seem to agree with my train of thought, a tour of Athens then the game :) http://www.klix.ba/sport/nogomet/navijaci-zmajeva-uzivaju-u-atini-bh-salovi-na-akropolju/161112022 my 2 cents :) Edited November 12, 2016 by E-M-I-R Added link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosaca Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hi guys, I have checked the odds again and they are now 2.80-3.25-2.80! This game is very much a 50/50, decided by a moment of brilliance or who wants it more on the day. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgelaz Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 my fifa squad. pretty sure gekas had beef with epo as well and he's still a bit more effective than karelis imo and considered a true striker. no one would put him on the wing.

Dampyr Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Višća injured foot on last training, will miss this game. Maybe it's a chance for a additionally called Miroslav Stevanović, at least in a second half? Edited November 12, 2016 by Dampyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbxk508 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 This match will be more about tactical play. Neither team will want to lose it at this stage of qualification. It may be decided by one mistake or one moment of brilliance. I think that Bosnia will sit back and wait for their opportunity and they will surely get them, as we have been vulnerable on counter attacks for some time now. A draw away to Greece will suit them. A win for us without Manolas, would be huge psychological victory for us and damaging for them. Damaging in the sense that it puts them 6 points behind us on the Table. A nice buffer for us going into the match with Belgium in Belgium. Manolas and Holebas absences are a huge loss. Stafylidis and Samaris will be key players in this match, and we will need them to do a job both in a defensive and offensive sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1078 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) I agree there is no tomorrow for this team a loss against Bosnia and our W/c hopes are done. I have no confidence in Skibbe so I am really worried about this match. Karelis should not be playing on the wing. I think Skibbe is going to try and go all out defence in this one so don't except to see any flow and good ball movement from the NT at all. Bosnia is going to be attacking all night.

georgelaz Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) this is a rare time that i'm very pessimistic for this game, and if we lose it, I think we'll tank the whole campaign. I'm hoping for a 0-0 until skibbe gets the a*****a to field a real 11ada. Edited November 13, 2016 by georgelaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosaca Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 You are very pessimistic, in our media and fans we are also very pessimistic and think Greece will win :D. Wait to see what happens, I suppose. I should just highlight that anyone who watched our 4-0 loss to Belgium shouldn't be nervous about this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgelaz Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 belgium is a top 5 side right now though. they have world class attacking mids and are solid in every position. we won't fair much better not only that but bosnia is making all the right moves, we seem to be making all the wrong moves. no one on this forum agrees that skibbe is playing our best line up. Holebas, Manolas, Fetfatzidis, Karelis (In position), and No Manolas. Also not utilizing Ninis as a super-sub. Too many mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Well, Greece isn't Belgium for that matter. Greece still can get a positive result, doesn't matter if it's a 1-0 or 2-1, just win gamoto! Edited November 13, 2016 by Molon Lave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockafeller Skank Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 With full roster and our full potential we are far better than Bosnians. Manolas Tachtsidis and Holebas missing are and all should be key factors of our defensive play. Mitroglou and Dzeko but we have a good striker as well. Gianniotas Mantalos Fortounis (Taxi also) help in creative game and making chances out of a run or a good pass. I can't decide now because of these missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausgreek Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 What has Taxi done that Skibbe doesn't want to know him? Kone, Fetta and Ninis would of been useful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbxk508 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 ^Yes. He's injured. Taxi. What a journeyman. Although owned by Genoa on 21st April 2010, he was loaned out on 7 occasions to other Italian clubs prior to making his debut with them on 23 Aug 2015. As if this wasn't enough he then gets sold to Torino on 5 Aug 2016 who then loaned him out to Cagliari, where he's doing great. Another player who should be in the starting 11 when he's fit and available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikitas Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 i read here and there that stafylidis might start as left winger. since we dont have any real left winger in our squad , this might not be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
