GG. World Cup dreams over. It was our easiest draw and got embarrassed 

[J1078]

This is f***ing embarrassing. We are nowhere close to making tournaments. 

[HellasLEAF]

Defence and goaltending is not up to par. 

We have some attacking players and not the defence it's the reverse.  

[Brklyngrk]

The mistakes....wow, never seen anything like that.

And playing the best we had in years up until the start of this campaign

[PaokCT]

And we are in Nations League A next turn around. 

[Brklyngrk]

We gave up two goals today on stupid mistakes, same as Thursday. It's unbelievable. 

[PAOKARA]

Is anyone surprised?

Just try keep passing it back to the keeper, that’s going great for you.

[Omonoia9]

+2

All so preventable too, it is the most frustrating part. We aren't ready, we aren't far off but individual mistakes are costly and we have been punished by just about everyone we've made over 3 games. 

9 goals conceded in 2 and a half games is not going to cut it at any level.

Denmark 3-0 Greece    HT

Are these players under instruction to constantly play the ball back to the keeper? I said it last game we overplay too much and it should not be our style to try and start our buildups from the goalie. 

[Dean97]

I hope players like Bakasetas, Kourbelis, Mantalos and that age group choose to retire from the national team. Not saying it’s there fault for today game alone but they haven’t helped or lead this team, over the course of 10 years to any major tournament. 

Just play the youth now and build a solid team for the future because the talent is there.

On this, I think it is poor from Jovanovic to not make the tactical adjustment from the first game. The Danes suffocated us high up the pitch, cut off all the passing lanes and essentially forced us to play the ball into dangerous spots where they would turn over possession and pick us off. 

We were dangerous in the first 10-15 today, what was different? We pressed them deep in their half, okay we couldn't sustain that but we also weren't afraid to play direct and long. Ioannidis chance was off him winning an aerial duel and then us winning the 2nd ball. The Tsimikas chance 30 seconds in, a long direct ball from Koulierakis finds Karetsas who in turn picks out an unmarked Tsimikas in the 6 yard box. 

I know it's not modern. our style or particularly attractive but we know from game 1 we can't play through the Danish press. There had to be an adjustment and apart from the first 10 minutes there was none.
