Friendly: Malta - Greece (17 Nov. 2022, 19:00 EEST - National Stadium, Ta' Qali)

Preparing for the EURO 2024 campaign.

Squad for this game and the friendly v Hungary has been released. Some high profile have been given a rest with Vlachodimos, Mavropanos, Tsimikas, Giakoumakis and Baldock not being called up. If I recall correctly, Poyet said post Nations League he would be using these friendlies to experiment, so I suppose these guys being rested will allow him to try some new blood in those positions.

Also worth noting, Tzolis is out injured and Pavlidis only recently returned from a decently long injury lay-off. 

Πασχαλάκης, Μπάρκας, Αθανασιάδης, Γούτας, Χατζηδιάκος, Κουλιεράκης, Ρέτσος, Τζαβέλλας, Γιαννούλης, Κυριακόπουλος, Κώτσιρας, Ρότα, Αλεξανδρόπουλος, Μπακασέτας, Μπουχαλάκης, Κουρμπέλης, Μάνταλος, Παπανικολάου, Σιώπης, Χατζηγιοβάνης, Δουβίκας, Φούντας, Ιωαννίδης, Μασούρας, Πέλκας.

I mean not really. He was a stud. Dominating teams in Europe. However, when he went to England he was expected to preform right away. He didn't play well for a few games and then he barely got time after that. They didn't give him a real shot so they messed up his own development.

Bakasetas what a goal! Great strike 

[Ellada2004]

1-0.. Nice movement on the goal. Pelkas with a good run and nicd pass

[kolokotronis99tripoli]

Bruh how does he keep scoring these goals !!! It’s gotten to a point where the second that shot left his foot I knew it was going in. Crazy

[PaokCT]

would be nice to get a 3-0 win or so. Haven't had that in a while.

Yes for sure. Norwich are a joke of a club. Farke didn’t even use him

Bakasetas can really hit them. I hope he keeps it up during the Euro qualifying 

[Ellada2004]

Goal called back offside? 

[Ellada2004]

HT Greece up 1 nil

We started to get into the match after 30 minutes. Hopefully they put in a couple more goals 

[PaokCT]

Koulierakis coming in! 

[J1078]

Bakasetas is starting to prove me wrong He's turning into a goal scoring machine for us.

Just lazy play out there by us. Instead of pressing we are letting them possess the ball. Looked like it couldve been offsides but not called. Our team is ready for the month break

Mantalos running with his head down into a defender on a 4 v3 instead of giving the ball out on the wing? Terrible
