[Omonoia9]

Denmark 3-1 Greece    FT

 

With the Scotland win, the ethniki aren't coming to America, or Canada, or Mexico

[Greekoz]

Individual mistakes and defending set pieces is killing us, until this is fixed we wont be able to get results, we created some good opportunities and could have made things interesting but the reality is we've copped 3 goals in each of our last 3 and thats not beating anyone.

[Omonoia9]

Really, this wasn't even being outclassed by a better team, which Denmark is. We played them evenly enough. Just stupid mistakes that prove we're not ready for the bigtime. But we're not far off. We HAVE to be at UEFA Euro 2028. Whether it's Jovanovic or someone else behind the bench. It's a must. 

[Ellada2004]

What a disgusting f***ing match! Greece were given a f***ing dream draw and our campaign is toast just pathetic mistakes in the last 3 matches from goal keeper, defenders and midfielders. The coach who I personally like has to resign. His starting lineups and tactics were a disaster. It is unacceptable not for Denmark but for Scotland to have 10pts and Greece 3 points! Greece have the most talent ever in attack for sure but we got way closer to qualifying for the 2018 World Cup (playoffs) with Tziolis and other much less talented players that many of us here criticized at length. 

[Bootman]

What a disappointment. Started with such promise beating England then Scotland and promotion to group A of the Nations league.

We really have a lot of talent on this NT. I don't know why he would tinker with that lineup that beat Scotland 3-0. We looked so good. Going forward we better not see anymore Kourbelis, Mantalos, Massouras. He has to bring in Triantis and some of the U21 talent (Tzimas, Kostoulas and Rallis) starting from the November games and integrate them into the team.

Let all of these kids play in all of the Nation League games and gain experience and build chemistry so that they will be ready for Euro qualifying. Why do all of these coaches mess these things up? Mind you a lot of the blame is the players and not being able to defend set plays and so many brain farts in the last three games. Not all of the blame is on Jovanovic.

We are trying to get to the World Cup with guys like Bakasetas, Masouras, Kourbelis, Rota, Ioannidis (not sure what the appeal is with this player, he sucks) over two important matches.  They have failed in a previous attempt and have failed again.  I respect their efforts and bringing the team to new ranking and Nations League but it's time to move on.

Neither keeper is showing satiability.  This can worry a backline.  Kouleirakis is very good but not a big presence CB in the backline, our big CB Mavropanos starts at West Ham.  He's good but not world class.  You can see how we concede on set piece.  Both wing backs are being changed each match and are decent but again not exactly world class.

The most worrying thing is there is no true CM in the team.  They go to Bakasetas but he is clearly limited and fading and they don't trust Delias and he is not exactly an imposing figure or top class.  

This World Cup run has exposed just how far away we are some exciting young talent aside.

Ioannidis is not bad. Don’t know why some criticise him. He puts himself in great positions and makes great runs. He created the most chances in the match. Ok he didn’t score which he should’ve but it wasn’t as clear cut as some think. He made the assist. Thank God we have Tzolis aswell. 

Rota in for Vagiannidis made no sense to me at all. Vagiannidis could’ve been useful going forward. 

But players like Kourbelis, Siopis, Mantalos and later on Bakasetas should be out of the team. Masouras aswell. There time is up. All players over 30 haven’t gotten us to a major tournament. Should never change the winning team that beat Scotland 3-0 in the the nations league.

[Bardouuu]

Just watched the replay of the Denmark game.. what the hell are they doing.. how many times must we shootings ourself in the foot. This decision making is unacceptable at this level.. these are mistakes being corrected in youth teams..

 

wish I hadn’t watched the replay lol
