Dutch Eagle Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 First match in a series of four before the summer break. The other two matches will be played in September. Let’s see who Gus Poyet will select and if he can win his first official match for the Ethniki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolokotronis99tripoli Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 We weren’t even in Pot 1 for League C ? We need to dominate literally don’t drop any points. Realistically won’t happen but I guy can dream and one more time boys I’m coming into this “tournament” with a positive outlook lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolokotronis99tripoli Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Giakoumakis Limnios Pavlidis Tsimikas Vlach are all in great form (Giannoulis too just on a bad team). Exciting stuff! Hopefully coach will find a way to fit them all in to some capacity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbxk508 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 T. Fountas has been doing well in MLS - 6 appearances; 5 goals 1 assist. I always thought he's a useful player with a good eye for goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaokCT Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 In 3 games in Northern Ireland, we have gone 1-2. Got swept vs them in the 2014-2015 Euro Campaign. Our market value is 123 million while theirs, 30 million. We have the clear advantage, but let's face it, we never make it easy. I see a 1-1 draw. Honestly, I'd be content with a draw cause we should be able to take care of them in Greece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolokotronis99tripoli Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) I really hope we come out and use the momentum our individual players have for a crazy unexpected 3-0 win. That would be a great start to Gussy’s coaching tenure. Edited May 27, 2022 by kolokotronis99tripoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausgreek Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 With Tzavellas being called up again, just call up Stafylidis as well, and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the defenders will be the problem. I understand, he shouldn’t be there. I agree 100 percent. But I think it’s the attack that should be focused on. You can’t win if you don’t score. And that’s a big problem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players can carry that out then they will win more. There is a continuation of previous regimes though, for whatever reason, injuries aside. None of Manolas, Sokratis, Siovas, Fetfa, Ninis and Fortounis. There is a reluctance in desiring technically gifted and experienced players anywhere near this squad, unless you are Tzavellas and Bakasetas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Early reports saying Poyet has decided what the starting eleven will look like, no massive surprises but once again our midfield appears to be lacking. ---------------Vlachodimos--------------- Kotsiras----Xatzidiakos--Mavropanos--Tsimikas ------Siopis----Bakasetas---Bouchalakis/Kourbelis Douvikas------Giakoumakis-----Limnios https://www.sport24.gr/football/ethniki-elladas-protes-dokimes-poget-me-giakoymaki-stin-koryfi-kai-provlima-me-masoyra.9650587.html Masouras has a knock and it's touch and go if he'll be fit in time. Not sure about Douvikas on the wing but happy with the more physical Giakoumakis leading the line against what will be some physical center backs. Limnios had a terrific season numbers wise, became a starter for a top 4 team in Holland with over 8 league goals 4-5 assists, I am interested to see if he has had added any strings to his bow or is still the hard working/workman like winger he was when he left PAOK 2 years ago. Midfield doesn't look overly inspiring but its the best we have, I think Bouchalakis will struggle with the pace and physicality over the Northern Irish. Not that Kourbelis is super quick and I am honestly not sure what his form has been like since returning from that long term injury, but he I think can at least mix it with the Northern's physically and will throw his weight around. Looks unlikely at this stage Baldock will start, given he only joined up with the team a few days ago. He is probably suited to playing against these guys though, and he himself said that he has played against almost the whole NI squad throughout his years in England. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J1078 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Mantalos and Liminos should not be starting bad move by Poyet. he should have Tzolis and Douvikas from the players available. Edited June 2, 2022 by J1078 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolokotronis99tripoli Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 We have pace on the sides and are pushing the ball up but as soon a pass is given to a midfielder, our attack totally stalls. So annoying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellada2004 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Greece are controlling the game. Our miss just need to get the ball to Giakoumakis he looks dangerous. N. Ireland offer nothing going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
