I suppose it doesn't look too bad. I like the 4-3-2-1, Its a refreshing change. Finally game day! hope the boys came to play Really Barkas, I mean he was great vs Italy but with AEK lately he's been ok. I think he should go with Vlachodimos.

J1078 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I have no clue what to expect from this game at all. Do we fall apart and does Finland expose us or do we strike lightning in a bottle and have a surprisingly good game with a very different line up...
Alphonse Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 We’re too slow flat right now, easy pickings for the Fins
Alphonse Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 Distribution from our fullbacks is far too slow and trapping us at the back. If one of Kolovos’s passes finds its mark we can be dangerous 1
Soprano76 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 The Greek players are so so so clumsy on the ball lol. Why is it that every team, even the likes of Estonia and Armenia, don't look this bad on the ball?
Ellada2004 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Our passing is so sloppy especially on the break out.

We are so slow with the ball, Torosidis and co like to play at walking pace and we the like to make square and back passes, allowing the opposition to press the hell out of us
Antaeus7 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 One goal for Greece can make the difference between winning or losing.
Ellada2004 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Better defensively if we played like that in the back vs Armenia we would have won. kolovos needs to come off his passing and touches are poor.. Greece just need a goal..
jarvis1981 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Finland have had the better of the play and came close to scoring just before half. Greece has one very good cross but it was deflected out by a Finn defenseman. Two yellow cards for Greece but those players can be replaced as the game goes on. Can't afford to go down to 10 men or less. Overall, not a great performance but they are still in the game.
Soprano76 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Lol this team is struggling to score against a squad whose back 4 play for Montreal Impact, Pafos FC, Genk and BK Hacken. Finland are nothing to write home about guys. 1
Antaeus7 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Finland will always be a winter sport, javelin throwing nation. ?
Alphonse Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 Not much to write home about. Dunno if Torosidis and Stafylidis are the backs we need... distribution from the back has been ridiculously slow. There have been some small signs of life in attack but we've really not troubled or gotten behind the Fins in attack. I would like to see Fetfa come in at some point for Kolovos, Zeca may be able to help the slow play at the back 2

Soon Van’t Schip should throw Fetfa out there.
Bardouuu Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 We made it!!! Half time with no goals conceded!! Took us 25 min to get into some kind of offensive groove but it’s happenng. The players need to build chem that’s the why the passes are looking so sloppy, they don’t anticipate their teammates movements. Plus this is a very young team up top and I’m sure the nerves had to do a lot with it. We are not playing a pretty game but I think we may be able to salvage a result. I find kolovos extremely lazy this game. Vroussai is lost too, hasn’t had much an impact yet but I’m glad he’s getting time with the team I think he will be a big part of our attack in the future. I want to see a bit more sprints from the boys up top, im not kidding when I say that the midfield brings up the ball at the same speed as sokratis. And this is on fast breaks too. I’m gonna assume it’s nerves and see how the second half goes. 1
Dean97 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Vrousai seems the fastest on our team. We are lacking speed in midfield and attack. Fetfatzidis should come on soon.
