Makynia Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ausgreek Bang On! The only change I would make is Gianniotis from Atromitos on the bench instead of Kapino. Kapino not even playing at Oly no point to even have him on the bench. When he starts playing then he can be called up again. As far as starter goes it has to be Anestis, Karnezis getting no playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausgreek Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Gianniotis it is then Maka!! There is plenty of talent and experience in this Pirates squad. Deano says Siopis is more an 8, so even better for squad balance. Edited November 26, 2017 by ausgreek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many factors in play here that any formula would have holes in it. All I am saying is that quite obviously, despite the rankings, there are many teams in front of us that we are superior than. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually didn't Arg, I kept it at 23 players, CB, RB and LB as back ups. Out of ten people, seven would probably pick still KPaps over Retsos for now, that could change in the future. If I added Retsos, I would leave out KPaps, squad balance. I struggled but still picked Toro. Edited November 28, 2017 by ausgreek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpakakis would stand alone for RB back up then. Good squad though man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good squad though man. i have said before the only reason why i pick 5-6 cbs is because in my books we're better with 3 cbs on defence. that system will hide our weakness in the wings.

I struggled but still picked Toro. I would take KPap over him atm as well, but Retsos makes the squad every time, not only because he is good enough, but he is our brightest young player, a future leader on the NT, and he can play RB pretty well too. Besides, he's already better than Siopis at CB, and a case can be made over Lyko and Bakakis at RB (Skibbe seems to think so at least). Bottom line, Retsos is on this team every time.

The joke is on you. Portugal would have never been champion if they wouldnt have played "like they are 103rd". Obviously, a nobody of a "coach" still understands the game better than Santos (and yes, the Santos bashing continues, even in 2018 and after two unsuccessful qualifications).

Argy Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) So Interesting WC draw. Always painful looking at from the outside. A: Russia, Uruguay, Egypt, Saudi Arabia B: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran C: France, Denmark, Peru, Australia D: Argentina, Croatia, Iceland, Nigeria E: Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, Costa Rica F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, Korea Republic G: Belgium, England, Panama, Tunisia H: Poland, Colombia, Senegal, Japan Groups are a bit more diluted compared to Euros, especially seeing some big guns miss out. Most groups are very open. Edited December 1, 2017 by Argy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellada2004 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Ya it sucks having watched it and not being there hurts. There are some really open groups, how could Greece not have beaten Croatia,thinking to myself that we could have landed in Group A and done damage. What a waste.. England again get another layup drawing Panama (worst team tournament) and Tunisia. What a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the best 32 teams I'd wager 25 would be from europe 5 from south america and the last 2 spots up for grabs. netherlands, italy, turkey, greece, wales should all be there. edit: that was knee jerk post 25 from europe might be on the high end lol.

Should be more teams from Europe there...now we get to watch Saudis, iran,Tunisia, Morroco and Panama a horrible side. This is no where near the quality of watching the Euros when it was a 16 team format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxou Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 btw i hope skibbe realizes how important our next friendy games will be for our ranking. we are one of the best teams that was left our of the wc so it's quite certain we will play against wc teams that are sitting above us in the rankings. if we put out some good performances while they will be trying things for the wc we have a great chance to improve our ranking. yes integrate new players like hatzidiakos and charisis, refresh the squad and kick the κλικα out but these games are important for our future placement in the qualifying draws. same goes for the nations league which is much more important.
