Argy Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Crucial game. Important to get an away result. Last time these teams played to a 0-0 draw on June 9, 2017.

Last time these teams played to a 0-0 draw on June 9, 2017. looking back at that 0-0. brutal. we had 0 shots on target. they had 6. we also had a stronger backline in stafylidis sokratis manolas and torosidis. we're hurting with injuries there's no room for error here and not starting koulouris and startin bakasetas on the wing again is what I fear. I really hope we see this koulouris donis fortounis masouras zeca samaris/kourbelis koutris siovas sokratis bakakis vlacho if stafylidis (lb) retsos (rb) lazaros (rw) mitroglou (st) kpaps (cb) manolas (cb) were available I'd start them in place of what we got also won't happen but fetfa (rw/lw) and holebas (lb) but yeah i'll keep that to fifa lol 1

Mitroglou is gonna be a big miss. Biggest ones in my opinion will be Retsos at a 3 CB scheme and Manolas. I think we can scrap a 0-0 there.

Biggest ones in my opinion will be Retsos at a 3 CB scheme and Manolas. I think we can scrap a 0-0 there. Lazaros was really good last season at AEK and the next with Oly until he got injured. He can take on defender and shoot. For depth purposes Donis, Masouras, Fetfa, and Lazaros I think would be our top 4 and rotate based on form. Laz has great long FK's, can take on defenders, and can shoot on target. He's way better then Pelkas or Bakasetas wide. (Which is what we've done past 10 games or so). so yes Lazaros being out is a loss.
Rockafeller Skank Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Lazaros was good for 2 months with Aek and for the qualifiers of the Europa League with Olympiakos. He is already 33 and there is no point to field a 33 year old. We have promising players like Lamprou and Limnios.
Alphonse Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Donis will play upfront. Would have been good to have him on the wing and Koulouris up front but it is what it is. Surely we won’t see Bakasetas on the field at any time after he couldn’t do jack against Lichtenstein in his 20th cap. It was embarrassing at times
paokarag4 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Thinking about it having Donis play as a striker is probably the smart move, regardless of whether Mitro was fit or not. He'll have no defensive responsibilities and will be able to hit the Bosnian's center backs directly. His pace will be a big threat on the break. With that in mind it's hard to see who else starts on the other wing(assuming Masouras is a lock) apart from Bakesetas. Unless he throws Mavrias in, or obviously Donis could play on the wing with Kolouris leading the line.

And if he did, there’s a big problem.
J1078 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Apparently these are the 3 scenarios the coach is thinking of playing 4-3-3 Αναφορικά με τα πλάνα ενδεκάδας, μονάχα εκτιμήσεις μπορούν να γίνουν. Ο Βλαχοδήμος αναμένεται να κρατήσει τη θέση στο τέρμα, με τον Σιόβα να είναι ο ένας σέντερ μπακ και ο Παπασταθόπουλος ο άλλος, εφόσον είναι σε θέση να αγωνιστεί. Οι Κούτρης και Μπακάκης στα άκρα, με τους Σάμαρη, Ζέκα και Κουρμπέλη στην τριάδα μπροστά, οι Φορτούνης και Μασούρας ως εσωτερικοί μέσοι και ο Δώνης πιο μπροστά 3-5-2 στην άμυνα θα δούμε Σιόβα, Παπασταθόπουλο και Κουρμπέλη, Κούτρη και Μπακάκη στις πτέρυγες, Σάμαρη, Ζέκα και Φορτούνη στα χαφ και Δώνη με Μασούρα μπροστά. Αν ο Αναστασιάδης πάει σε 3-4-2-1, θα δούμε Σιόβα, Παπασταθόπουλο και Ρισβάνη στην άμυνα, τους Κούτρη και Μπακάκη να παίζουν όλη την πλευρά, τους Ζέκα, Σάμαρη και Κουρμπέλη στον άξονα και τους Φορτούνη, Μασούρα πίσω από τον Δώνη. Φυσικά, θέση μπροστά διεκδικεί και ο Κουλούρης. 4-2-3-1Τέλος, αν δεν αγωνιστεί ο "Πάπα", τότε τα πράγματα αλλάζουν, αφού ίσως παραμείνει το όπως και στο ματς με το Λιχτενστάιν, με τον Ρισβάνη ή τον Κουρμπέλη δίπλα στον Σιόβα, τους Κούτρη και Μπακάκη στα άκρα, τους Ζέκα και Σάμαρη στον άξονα, τον Μασούρα στη μια πλευρά, παίζεται η θέση για την άλλη και τον Φορτούνη πίσω από τον Δώνη ή τον Κουλούρη. Στην διάθεση του Αναστασιάδη είναι και ο Ντουρμισάι.

He's lazy and his play is uninspired. We don't have someone in the midfield who can distribute the ball well enough to have a poacher in the lineup. 1
J1078 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Mitro has become obsolete with our sub par midfield.. He would be good if we had a great midfielder but in our current state his laziness and lack of speed I think does more bad then good to our team especially when we are called to play a match where we need to defend and try to catch teams on the counter.. I think our guys rely to much when Mitro is in the game and they try to force the ball to him and other teams know this so maybe a change with Kolouris and some speedy wingers we can be more effective.. 2

Yup. Even if we had Pjanic on our side, Mitroglou's level of effort or lack there of is pretty apparent. He does not run, he does not fight for the ball. He wants the ball at his feet and if it's 3 feet away from him he gives up. Frustrating.
Chris Tsamados Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I'm not to hopeful in this game. I think we need to play it tight and go for the 0-0. If they score first I can't see us getting one back. 1
AEK RE GAMOTO Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 PAME ELLADARA!!!! Will the Reddit links that were posted for the Lichenstein game work for this game? 2
Soprano76 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Yes that redsoccer forum frequently posts links for all kinds of games. I think this match will also be available on espn3 in the US
Brklyngrk Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 yes - it's an odd line up, not sure what to think of it... Vlachodimos (GK) 2Bakakis 5Siovas 6Bouchalakis 8Zeca 10Fortounis 15Donis 19Papastathopoulos (C) 21Kourbelis 22Samaris 23Koutris 1
J1078 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I wasn't expecting that at all... No Masouras and no Kolouris??? Edited March 26, 2019 by J1078
Brklyngrk Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I guess it's a 4 3 3 Bakakis Siovas Sok Koutris Kourbellis Samaris Zeca Fortounis Donis Bouchoulakis Edited March 26, 2019 by Brklyngrk
jason Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I still dont' get how Super league top scorer cant crack a spot but lets see what happens.
Antaeus7 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 That is a decent lineup At least our coach isn't playing Bakasetas 1

gsots Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 If that's the starting line, we're not scoring a f'n goal unless someone make a miracle play. Donis and Fortounis are literally on their own upfront. Does this coach realize we're playing Bosnia and not a German Spain super team? 1
