Argy Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 We are a week away from our crucial second match with Hungary. We need all three points here after a sour loss in Budapest. Greece squad: Karnezis, Barkas, Paschalakis, Torosidis, Bakakis, Sokratis, Manolas, Tzabellas, Oikonomou, Kolovetsios, Giannoulis, Tsimikas, Zeca, Tziolis, Mantalos, Fortounis, Pelkas, Kourbelis, Bouchalakis, Bakasetas, Lazaros, Mitroglou, Karelis, Koulouris.

Boxou Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yeah for example I think it's like "Toronto at Los Angeles" in a Lakers-Raptors game in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that often its home team on the right like saying Hungary in Greece in many countries. Just read, however, that the associated press is instructed to list the home team first for international contests, so I will update the title. EDIT: I am unable to change the title, so mod feel free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Mantalos and Torosidis out of the AEK v Olympiako derby tonight, they could be in doubt for the Ethniki as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxou Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 If Torosidis is out we are in sort of a trouble because Lykogiannis, Stafylidis and Retsos are also out. This means we'll get to see Tzavellas in the line up unless Skibbe wakes up and starts Tsimikas. Mantalos out is not a big problem, Lazaros and Pelkas will start on the wings hopefully. Btw what's the story behind Klonaridis and he doesn't get a call up? Has he chosen Belgium or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxou Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 bit lazy to check up but some people were saying that his intension was to play with belgium. mpakasetas has been in a good form lately but he's rather useless in this team. i don't remember him ever being relevant once, although many times he played in different positions like CF or winger.

Ellada2004 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Bakasetas scored the equalizer vs OLY today with a nice header. With the NT he doesn’t have the same impact 14 Appearances 0 goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Lol Klonaridis will never make Belgium. From afar I recall he has his papers ready for Greece but has never been called up. With our Striker issues, I’d be calling him up, he can score in UCL he would be useful for Greece and much faster than Mitro. He can offer more than Koulouris that’s for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't crack the Belgians lineup not with the attacking players they have at there disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argy Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Very happy Fetfatzidis made the team, but I am afraid the only chance we see him as a sub is if we are desperate for a goal late in the game, and that's not a position I want to be in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphonse Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Mantalos has a small injury but read he may play, Lazaros also had minor injury after AEK OSFP game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgelaz Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) wouldn't mind up top mitroglou pelkas fortounis fetfa pelkas personally looks good to me on the wing. he's pacey, good crosser, his first touch has improved tremendously and he's had some of his best games playing LM for PAOK eg) cup semi final wing he was LM and was MOTM probably kourbelis and zeca shielding we're missing staflydis badly and skibbe doesn't have the balls to start tsimikas who I personally prefer over lyko I'd want mitroglou pelkas fortounis fetfa zeca kourbelis tsimikas sokratis manolas bakakis vlachodimos might be a bit too much new blood tho Edited October 10, 2018 by georgelaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 According to this, Skibbe is going to go with --------------------------Barkas Bakakis----Sokratis----Manolas---Giannouli/Tsimikas -----------------------Zeca-----Kourbelis Bakasetas-------Fortounis---------Pelkas ------------------------Mitro Everything considered i think it's the best line up he can put out. With Mantalos, Lazaro and Donis all out Bakasetas was always going to start, no matter how bad some of you wanted Fetfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) It’s the line up I expected. Bakakis will need to have a huge game for the right hand side to have impact as Bakasetas, even for AEK has only been effective centrally and he does not have the speed like Pelkas does.

Boxou Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I see no natural wingers, let's see how this scheme will work out. These games are Skibbe's last chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
