We've copped another one. 3-0 

 

Shocking.

[HellasLEAF]

Ahh.  It was too good to be true to pull a double on them.  Hopefully we can get a goal here in front of packed house. 

[J1078]

This is embarrassing 

[Omonoia9]

Jones 3-0

[Omonoia9]

What a shame for such a great crowd

[PaokCT]

Humiliated at home with many of England’s B players. Not the best 

[ausgreek]

Ethniki, I'm sorry, you have a weak mentality.

[Omonoia9]

+4

[Omonoia9]

Mantalos, save Pickford

[Omonoia9]

Greece 0-3 England    FT

[J1078]

I can deal with losing by one goal in a tough hard fought game, but when you come out in a completely packed house for the first time in years, and you get your asses handed to you by England’s B team in the most important game, has me completely questioning this team all over again..

Deserved loss to a much better and more talented team that converted on their chances. Let's finish up with a win in Finland and then take our chances in the playoff games.

[HellasLEAF]

I just don't think we have enough presence in the centre midfield it's our biggest weakness.  

[Ellada2004]

Pathetic performance in front of a full home crowd vs a lot of England second tier players. 

[ChrisT]

I think we need to learn how to clear the ball out of defense. We wasted so much time and effort passing it out of defense and mainly.losing it in the process.

GROUP B2 STANDINGS

 

England-12(+8)
Greece-12(+5)
Ireland-6
Finland-0

I would be happy if Greece were to only lose 1-0 since England played much better than they did in London. England got lucky getting those final two goals in. Greece's potential opponents in the playoffs for promotion to League A and a FIFA World Cup playoff spot (if they don't qualify directly) are Belgium, Poland, Netherlands or Hungary, and Serbia.

Not going to be easy at all.. We need to hope for a lucky WC Qualifier draw..

I agree. A 0-1 loss would’ve been easier to accept but at the same time conceding that many goals at home in front of a sold out stadium isn’t acceptable. Time to move on from Bakasetas. He doesn’t cut it for me. Also Rota wouldn’t be first choice at RB. 

We need Konstantelias, Tzolis and Ioannidis all starting together in my opinion.

Ioannidis for me is our best striker. He just gets it. Runs a lot and goes above and beyond. He also has the ability. Pavlidis is too hit and miss for me.
