Jimmyp Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 It’s about time we call a spade a spade. This team has zero up front. No matter who goes out there. They have nothing going forward. Zilch. When you put your d in a position to defend for 75 minutes because there is zero up front, they’re gonna get tired. No matter who’s out there. In form players or not it doesn’t matter. Some players are just built for club soccer and not national level. You either have it or you don’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Anyone who doesn’t think donis is our best attacker by a F***in mile needs to get glasses. It is criminal that another coach benches the best players. Why is bakakis playing? Why did bakasetas play 80 min. What a joke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardouuu Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Yeah i saw something there with donis at the end. (I was the one asking about him earlier in the week). He is better at creating opportunities for himself, while koulouris is more of a poacher, needs to be set up nicely. I mean we can’t be surprised with this result, we held up defensively. Gave up a stupid penalty, and once we were down it was all out attacked which exposed our defense and they were able to get a second. I’m actually not to disappointed because I think we saw potential in several players like Limnios for example. Which is what the purpose of these games is. Paschalakis was ok at best, faced a tough side and wasn’t challenged to often. Second goal should have Been blocked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy replaced Masouras with Giannoulis when Liechtenstein scored an equalizer (and before that goal he wanted to sub Limnios on) but you are right, this guy wants to enforce change. Lets hope we will see some development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellada2004 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Greece were undone by a penalty again as was the case in Finland. Limnios had a great chance and koulouris missed a sitter. Bakasetas miffed at great chance in the box too. We deserved a draw! That's the way it's going.. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Mendel Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Paschalakis, Bakasetas, and Giannoulis (a fullback) when we would have had to score. Another goody goody performance and another loss. Typical of Van T Schip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play with the same determination vs Bosnia we will beat them. Donis must start, no Bakasetas its just common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J1078 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Can blame the coach right now man, this team hasn’t performed with 5 or so coaches, let’s give the guy a chance to rebuild the team and see what he has. Yes there was some unpopular decisions but we need to give the guy time.. right now it doesn’t matter who comes in to coach the result will be the same as this will be a long process off rebuilding the NT.

La Mendel Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Okay I can see he is determined to make those changes he thinks necessary. Somehow my gut feeling tells me it is no use (although my premonitions have been always bad since 2014). Lets hope I am in the wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Mendel Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I guess I will be unpopular with my opinion now but I think we are kinda wasting our time with Schip. I admit I am pessimistic just for the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not be wrong at all but at some point we need to stick with someone for a while and give them some time.. he already spoke about the egos on the team and he already said he needs to rebuild this team so let’s juts give him a chance for a bit and see if things start looking up as this will not be a quick fix.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. But how can you play Bakasetas? When you have Fetfatzidis, Donis and Mantalos on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellada2004 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I think JVS will not play Bakasetas next game and going forward. I agree with J1078 we have to let the coach stay and work going into the WCUP qualifiers. If at that time we are still seeing Bakasetas and Paschalakis instead of Vlachodimos then I would say remove him from his post. Our structure and attention to defensive detail was good today and has been improving under JVS especially in the first halfs of these games. Kolouris miss was the turning point we would have got something out of the game if he scored there, this is our huge problem, we have no striker as battle tested as Mitroglou. I hope JVS recalls him next month or for the wcup qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid we would see a repeat of the first fixture with them especially with a revamped lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreekLunatic Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Van Schip couldn't coach a club team to win something in Australia. I give him another 4 games till he is gone. He should never been appointed coach in the first place. I would say Ouzounidis is afar better coach then Schip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Masouras not playing joke, bakakis and Bakasetas joke play koutris. Donis should have started and mantolas. Even pelkas is not bad option. Fetfa would be helpful in creating chances... something always stinks with call ups seems like corruption doesnt make sense. Limnios was great.
