I’m shocked how bad we were defensively!

Two goals came from errors from outside backs

We've always struggled when playing teams packed full of mavrous. 

France - Greece 1-0 (FT) Leukoi: Hernandez and Griezmann (2)

Netherlands - Greece 3-0 (HT) Leukoi: Flekken, Blind, De Jong, De Roon and Weghorst (5)

And remember WC 2014: Greece - Ivory Coast 2-1 (FT): Leukoi: 0000

Yellow against VVD

[J1078]

Good to see us lose to the Netherlands by the same margin that Gibraltar did.. What a f***ing embarrassment.. Im not even upset that we lost this game if it was a competitive game but to be losing 3 nothing by the 30 minute mark is absolutely disgusting… The biggest game for this team and that’s how we come out… This reminds me of the Croatia game in the playoffs under Skibbe.. No words..

Netherlands 3-0 Greece    FT

 

Have to beat them in Athens to have any chance, otherwise we'll need our safety net. It's ok to lose to the Dutch in the Netherlands, but it wasn't even close. They took it easy on us in the second half and called off the dogs, or it would have been worse.

Disgraceful! Worst performance since a 3 nil loss to Italy in a euro qualifier under coach Ange!

Rota is not a good option back there, Baldock getting injured reminded us that the RB position was a big issue before him.

France won 2-0 at home to Ireland

Our only hope is now that Netherlands somehow drops points in Ireland and we beat Gibraltar so we stay ahead of them. Best case scenario now is we face Netherlands at home either up a point or tied. If that doesn’t happen then on to the nations league for a 2nd chance.. Just so disappointed how this team played i don’t know what to make of it. Was it just a bad night or is this the real reality of this team?

Yes we need Ireland to get a draw but that looks like a tall task. Missing Mavropanos and Baldock was a huge blow. Also Fortounis can’t have a spot on this team? The midfield play was atrocious.
