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 t

If turkey wins there group, how does that affect the 4 team playoff?

Turkey will qualify either in first or 2nd so Luxembourg replaces Turkey which makes our nations league playoffs so much easier if we don't qualify from here.

With Turkey Pretty much guaranteed to qualify the 4 teams in the nations league playoffs are

Greece vs Kazakhstan

Georgia vs Latvia

 

The winners if each game will play each other to see who makes the Euros. Hopefully we don't need this way. But we would have to be the favorites.

Greece will beat Holland if they play nice passes and stay compact as they did today. Then we can maybe pull of direct qualification to Euros.

100% but its nice to know we have a back up just incase with very beatable teams. If anyone would have said going into the last 2 games you would be 3 points ahead of Netherlands for 2nd we would all have been jumping for joy as this group by far had the two strongest teams.

Apart from the first 10 or so minutes, a comfortable evening in what on paper could've been a tricky game. For large stretches we controlled the tempo and showed our quality against the Irish. 

We all have questions about various call-ups and player selections but ultimately (especially with International football and a nation like Greece) it's a results business. Say what you want but Poyet has topped the nations league group and with 3 games to play in the qualifiers he has in 2nd spot in the group. 

Massive game against the Dutch now, it will be a packed OPAP Arena and the crowd will be buzzing. They blew us away last month, so we will need to play our absolute best to stand any chance. Their midfield in particular bossed ours and we struggled to break through their pressing. I suspect it will be different in Greece, but interested to see what tactical changes Poyet makes this time around. I'm sure he learnt a thing or 2 from the disaster last month. 

All in all, it's been a successful qualifying campaign so far and we are still in with a fighting chance. The play-offs are there and waiting worst case and the way this team has been able to win the game they "should", I am relatively confident we qualify one way or another.
