teke817 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I will say the first game action I've really seen Limnios play, and I like what he brings to the table ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It will take time to rebuild this team's confidence. One step at a time. On the plus side, Leveque and Limnios look pretty good. Campos very dangerous as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Mak's about to come on. Biseswar also warming up. And I think I just heard that El Kaddouri is warming up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teke817 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 i would like to see Limnios play all 90' especially in a game like this ... kid needs to get all the minutes he can ... almost rather Prijo came off for Mak. Oh well. Let's put this away boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 This is exactly the kind of game where we should be playing the younger guys. Poungouras came on for Leveque, btw, with Crespo moving to LB. I still think Crespo as a fullback is an awful idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looks like Koulouris on for Prijovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 That's game. Team needs a lot of work. PAO (10 men) is currently 0-0 vs Levadiakos at home Panionios is beating Apollon Smirnis 2-0 at home AEK about to start away vs Giannina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 FT at PAO - Levadiakos and it remained 0-0. So the team that was relegated but got away with it snaches two points from us and them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teke817 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We need work but its clear we have a lot more depth and talent than last year. I'm hopeful Lucescu proves up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Perhaps most worryingly, the team looked gassed well before the first half was over. Fitness is a big problem here. I also got the impression that until the first goal, they were playing very disinterestedly - really no better than in the game-that-shall-not-be-mentioned. It's only because Kerkyra is of such a low standard that we were able to get this win. A team like Xanthi or Panionios would have broken us in half.

Thanks bro xxx ooo ;) I hope Lucescu can get the fitness issue sorted out asap. He has 2 weeks, which sounds like it's not enough, but it's a start and gives him some time to at least get cracking on it. I find it incredulous that for a squad of professionals that is paid quite well, that such a situation was allowed to develop. I mean, it's not their fault, they just follow what the manager says, but it's football 101 to have your players fit. Talent you can't really teach. Tactics and decision making you can teach depending on the player. But fitness, that's easy. It's unforgivable to not have your players fit for the beginning of the season, doubly, no triply so, when you know you have life and death EL qualifiers. As for Lucescu, we will see what he is made of this season. I'm not sold on him in the way same way I wasn't sold on Ivic last season. Both were/are unknown quantities. We know what he achieved with Xanthi but their goals and the pressure is different for Xanthi and different for us. It's one thing when your goal is to be "hard to beat" and another when you are trying to play positively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 True, if he takes the Xanthi philosophy and tries to apply it to us, we'll have problems. We will be expected to attack much, much, much more than Xanthi ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
