paokarag4 Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Call-ups have been announced, Konstantelias is in. Other new faces compared to last month include: Galanopoulos, Dioudis and Saliakas. Baldock is still out with the injury he sustained during the previous international break. Interesting to see if Saliakas gets the start over Rota at right back. Full squad Τερματοφύλακες: Βλαχοδήμος, Πασχαλάκης, Διούδης. Αμυντικοί: Τσιμίκας, Μαυροπάνος, Χατζηδιάκος, Κουλιεράκης, Σάλιακας, Ρέτσος, Τζαβέλλας, Γιαννούλης, Ρότα. Μέσοι: Μπακασέτας, Μπουχαλάκης, Κουρμπέλης, Αλεξανδρόπουλος, Χατζηγιοβάνης, Γαλανόπουλος, Μάνταλος, Σιώπης. Επιθετικοί: Ιωαννίδης, Μασούρας, Πέλκας, Κωνσταντέλιας, Γιακουμάκης, Παυλίδης, Φούντας.

Bootman Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 Tzavellas, Bouchalakis and Fountas should not be on his list. I don't see why he keeps calling them up. Fountas instead of Douvikas? I don't get it and what is a 35 year old Tzavellas gonna offer? We have way better and younger than him. Call up Tzimas instead of Fountas and give the kid some experience even if he doesn't play. 1
paokarag4 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Chatzidiakos ruled out of the 2 upcoming games with an injury. Retsos/Koulierakis in the running to take his spot, I don't give Tzavellas a realistic chance of starting but then again who knows. Considering Baldock was already ruled out pre-call ups, it's less than ideal to lose member of the back 4. Against Holland last month, we all remember what happened when we were without 2 of our starting back 4. A few players without match practice recently, since moving to Nottingham, Vlachodimos has been the no.2 and riding the bench. Mavropanos also with his move to West Ham hasn't been a nailed on starter, but he has at least played three matches in the last month (2 in the Europa League and one in the League Cup). Kourbelis is another who has not seen the pitch since late August for Trabzonspor, so Poyet has some decisions to make on how many potentially underdone players he starts in the game.
Brklyngrk Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 The Baldock injury was huge, had forgotten how much of a need RB was. Rota can't start against Holland - he will be eaten alive. Retsos/Koulierakis isn't that concerning - they are both good players. 2
paokarag4 Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Goutas called up to replace the injured Chatzidiakos. Considering the squad flies for Ireland today and he plays his club football in Wales, he will fly directly to Dublin and link up with the squad there. With 4 center backs still in the squad, I feel it confirms Tzavellas is only being called up due to either Poyet wanting a "personality" in the squad or EPO forcing it upon him. He isn't seen as a feasible option unless the game is either comfortably won or lost. 3
Brklyngrk Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Line-ups are out... Giakoumakis over Pavlidis Retsos/Mavropanos/Tsimikas/Rota - expected back line. Rota may get exposed... Kourbelis/Mantalos/Bakesetas/Pelkas - Assuming Pelkas is on the wing. Pelkas/Giakoumakis/Masouras Not sure crazy about Pelkas/Mantalos starting. Would also put Siopis over Kourbelis.

Ellada2004 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Not a good lineup. Mantalos starting? Rota too. Only good move is starting Giakoumakis over Pavlidis.
J1078 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) What kind of garbage line up is this.. Losing trust in Poyet... Edited October 13, 2023 by J1078 1
Brklyngrk Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Where can we watch this game? I am listening to the game and we are getting outplayed...

J1078 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 what a terrible start exactly what i thought would happen after seeing the starting lineup..
AEK RE GAMOTO Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Nice shot Bakasetas. Almost trickled through.
