2020-2021 Nations League

[Bardouuu]

I support the coaches decisions and I’m enjoying seeing us field such a young line up full of hope. However I am still concerned that we are not fielding our best players. I wonder if he’s still exploring the depth of the roster before he actually fields his ideal team.

Multiple media outlets reporting our team will be the following: 

--------------Barkas-----------
Bakakis----Svranas------Siovas------Giannoulis
------------Kourbelis-----Zeca
Limnios------Bakasetas-----------Mantalos
-------------Pavlidis-----------

Keep in mind ever since JVS took over these leaked teams that seem to get out a few hours before kick off seem to end up being spot on, so there's clearly a rat inside the camp but I guess it's not a huge deal. 

If this lineup is indeed the one I'm happy to see no Stafylidis given his lack of playtime. A little surprised to see Giannoulis over Tsimikas although I'm not shocked, Van't Schip has stated multiple times he wants this team to have continuity and develop chemistry. Giannoulis started our last 2 games (even though it was 10 months ago) so JVS seems like he wants to stick with what's worked for him. 

7 of these guys started our last 2 matches against Finland and Armenia.

I don't like Mantolas on the wing, Bakasetas has been in form but i think we are leaving out our most skilled player in Fortounis. Also would have liked to see Tsamikas starting.

Mantalos and Bakasetas should be able to flip their positions fairly easily, which if I recall has happened in a few games. That may in fact be the intention. Limnios is much less suited to play up the middle though.

Any word on where this is televised?

Perfect thank you - my using-OPEN-with-a-VPN option a few weeks back worked perfectly so I'm glad I can use it again

Pretty good lineup. I just want Fortounis starting definitely our most skilled player. Also Tsimikas should be in the starting 11. 

[Rockafeller Skank]

I cannot see why Mantalos starts over Masouras and Kourbelis over Bouchalakis unironically.

Olympiakos has had gametime after the pandemic break and had it's last (and pretty good appearance if u ask me) match less than a month ago.
I understand the reason he plays is because he defends and tracks back but come on we are playing Slovenia we ll have to open them up somehow.

I've gone to this link (admittedly I'm not based in Canada) but how do you find live games on it?

 

 

[J1078]

When you log in it takes your region and all the nations leagues games should be on the first page and you select which one you want to watch. But if you’re not in Canada I don’t think it will give you the game list.

[Brklyngrk]

Nothing to write home about.  We are pressing them but pretty even.

Thanks for this link mate.

I downloaded the app off google play and am streaming it on my tv. Perfect quality.

[J1078]

What a move by Liminos to create a great chance..

[Brklyngrk]

Take it back, they have played better...almost score by Pavlidis off the corner.

[Athens4]

Some good moves but also some amateur moves so far. Bakakis has no business playing for Greece. Not sure why Pavlidis didn't let the ball run through there and instead controlled and tried to pass in the box.

[Brklyngrk]

Limnios is the best player for Greece, so fast!! I only hear his name.

 

[Brklyngrk]

We should be winning, have been playing much better.  Limnios seems to be burning his marker at every turn. Nothing from our other side. Maybe Mantalos gets replaced by Masouras? Would also like to have Tziolis given a shot this game.  

[pash]

Yeah, Slovenia is garbage, as this forum's greatest poster (me) predicted.

[Antaeus7]

What happen to Kostas Tsimikas? Injured? 

[J1078]

I want to see Masouras replace Mantolas, and Bakasetas replaced by Fortounis, I think Fortounis can shred this team and create a lot  of openings..

[Antaeus7]

Why is Bakasetas the captain? Like, seriously? 

[Brklyngrk]

Bakasetas has played well in the last few games plus he has been in good form for his club team.

[Chris Tsamados]

Come on, we know how this is going to playout, expect Slovenia to score anytime soon.

I was thinking the same thing?‍♂️ Watch them get one chance and score..

[Antaeus7]

Greece have got to do a better job in finishing their goal scoring chances. How can they qualify in a major tournament if you can't finish offensively?
