paokarag4 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Mantalos is far more technically better than Pelkas. Pelkas brings energy and in space he can be dangerous. But he's a classic inbetween player, not quite a dekari, not quite a striker, not a winger. No problems with Mantalos starting at the 10 with Fortounis injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the great Alphonse/Amorgos who has raved on non stop about Ninis the best Greek football player that ever lived yet the last 10 coaches benched him as they just couldn't see that x factor that Alphonse/Amorgos saw. Yep your football opinions are just spot on Edited August 31, 2019 by SydneyPAOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Errrr ok... Ninis?? Raved non stop?? Ok pal How ever you wanna look at it, Mantalos is in better form right now and would be best to start 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 I just read about that... can we be more jinxed... hopefully he will be ok to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This is now the time Greece needs an impact player like Samaras. Fourtounis is suppose to be that kind of player, but he has disappointed me sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean97 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 How long do we have to wait until Galanopoulos gets a call up? Is it me or is he not that good to begin with? In my opinion Samaris shouldn’t play because of his poor performances. It shows you how limited we are in that role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can work and improve in that area then we can probably say bye bye to Staf as far as the NT goes. I still believe Koutris is slightly better than Tsimikas defending but lately Tsimikas has been doing well and in defence he has done well. But you can tell he still needs work there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphonse Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 It's not that low re Jimmyp, both on their day can be very good but very worried now if Mantalos can not play, in that case id rather Fetfa or Tachtsidis in the dekari position 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What low point have we got to when we are arguing over who’s better to start between Pelkas and Mantalos In my opinion there is not much of a difference. Both are the same height and ability wise are equal. I don’t think one is better than the other. I do believe though Pelkas will hustle more and can be dangerous with his set pieces on his day and also is faster. Fetfatzidis is better than both in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J1078 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Still not sure why Mitro the only proven goal scorer this team has had was not called up even as a sub at the very least an option... Scores his 2nd goal in his second game.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) As it stands, from an attacking view, its Masouras to start at right wing I am sure, and he will either go with Pelkas or Fetfa in the middle with Kolovos on the left, unless Vrousai gets a start. Then it will be Koulouris up front with Pavlidis ready to go on the bench. He has to call another attacker up, I am sure Donis and Mitroglou would be front runners. unless he goes Bakasetas Edited September 2, 2019 by Alphonse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Limnios has been called up to replace Mantalos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbxk508 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hoping on an improvement from the last 2 outings, which shouldn't be hard to do really. This is what I would like to see no goals conceded in the first half no goals conceded in the second half we score at least 1 Now if we accomplish that we will win the 3 points, which in the scheme of things is what we need. Without Mitroglou, Fortounis, Donis and Mantalos we will need to accomplish something we haven't in 3 years. Beat a nation ranked above us in the FIFA rankings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J1078 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The one thing I like about his press conference is speaks realistic and is not setting people hopes to high he knows there is lots of work to do.. he’s being realistic.. he know how important getting a result in Finland is but he’s being realistic as he has had no time to work with the team.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellada2004 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 It stinks that we are without Fortounis, Donis and Mantalos. With those three in the lineup Greece is clearly better than Finland. Let's hope they keep a clean sheet and score off a set piece and get three points. Time for Sokratis & Manolas to step up there game and lead the team especially since they lobbied to get rid of Ange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I really liked what he said, I hope the players can step up and do something special. With so little time for Finland he is at least clear on somethings, and he wants energy in belief in the players, something we really lack and need so that in itself is a big positive Giannoulis of PAOK has also been called up, good player. Although we seem to be stacked strong at LB. Big question is who will play behind Koulouris now... I have a feeling it will be Pelkas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1078 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I agree since there is so little time before the Finland game is the coach seems to understand not to complicate things we wants to keep it simple and have a very basic game plan which is a good idea don’t try to change to much all at once as we don’t have time to go through the iOS and down of a new style.. He wants speed and energy.. I’m pretty sure Pelkas will be the guy starting... he’s definitely not my first or second choice either but seem like we don’t have a better option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) I just through... in a 4-3-3 will he play Pelkas in the middle or have the traditional combo of Zeca-Kourbelis-Samaris behind the front three... I personally really dont want to see Samaris start would would prefer say. Zeca - Kourbelis and Pelkas or Fetfa with them.
