Also Mitro is out 100% so he is not an option.. I will be speechless if bakasetas starts in this game. Donis isn't clinical as a single striker we'll lose or draw for sure if he does that

It's tough because it's away game. I find out NT has a poor psychology but if we build momentum belief sets in. the poor start vs. romania euro 2016 was very pivotal. I think our qualifying chances very much rest on this Bosnia game. if we get a draw or win then we have a very good chance to qualify. If we don't win I think it's a very serious uphill climb (even though it shouldn't be) actually, if you ask me from the traditional top 8 NT giants who we'd have the best chance of beating I'd put Italy up there. (eg) Germany, France, England, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Italy) Italy are traditionally a slowish defensive style and they rely on set pieces (they're very similar to us). They have more skill whereas we have more strength to muscle them off set pieces easily. A draw for us would be like a win. If we can sneak out a victory then I think it puts us in a great position mentally going forward and into the match vs Italy where the team will be confident at home vs Italy and maybe Greece make it 3 wins out of 3. Our styles are similar so it will suit us just fine, not like going up against a speed filled side like say a France where we wouldn't fair well.

Does this make sense to anybody??? why in the world wouldn't you use Donis on the wing and take advantage of his speed along with Masouras and Kolouris as a striker?? Can you imagine Kolovos and Bakasetas on the wing?. I hope the Coach is smarter then this and I hope he learns from Bakasetas last match as he was the worst player on the field.. Please God know Bakasetas I beg coach Ange do not play this guy again!!
J1078 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Bakasetas will not be able to counter as he has no speed and he can’t pass.. overall he is s%$#!.. With Mitro out you MUST start Kolouris as a Striker and you need to put Donis on the wing with Masouras.. This by far gives us the best chance to win and actually create a few scoring chances.. I have a bad feeling after reading a few articles that we are going to see bakasetas on the wing.. 1
Brklyngrk Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 So many formations being floated....I've seen Masouras - Koulouris - Donis. I've seen Masouras - Fortounis (false 9) - Donis. Donis up top with fortounis right behind him. So basically, we do not know.
Antaeus7 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Makes me nervous to hear that Bakasetas will be playing winger. What is Anastasiadis thinking?

I hope Anastasiadis sees now that he is useless. He didnt play against Bosnia so I suppose the coach recognized his limitations. ? 2
Brklyngrk Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 I am hoping the coach is learning as well. He seems to be able to make adjustments. 1
