Amanatidis is injured

[PMC]

Kapetanos got called up for the next friendly

[augusto]

can someone post a formation for this team?

[Ace]

It's not easy, because coach doesn't have a regular formation. It changes almost always

[Angel of Death]

Giorgos Tzavelas of Panionios and Giorgos Galitsios of Olympiacos had been called up at the last match vs Ukraine

Bad link for Tziolis in first post

[Angel of Death]

Otto must really be in love with Tziolis, Charisteas, Patsatzoglou and Seitaridis. I can not see any particular circumstances they should be in the NT

[Ace]

Updated first post with WC 23 men. Numbers are not official.

[Papanight]

Otto must really be in love with Tziolis, Charisteas, Patsatzoglou and Seitaridis. I can not see any particular circumstances they should be in the NT

He doesn't want to 'waste' his time watching matches in the Greek League so he calls up players after they get transfered to one of AEK PAO OSFP or to a team abroad... Or players he already knows... Remember he wanted to call up Dellas recently but he declined...

Also in the friendlies he didn't try the new players he called up, Tzavellas and Prittas, and he only let Ninis play one half against Uruguay and subbed him off at HT.. He also brought Charisteas and Patsatzoglou in to win the match.....

[Ace]

Updated formation, I'm not sure if they played with 4-1-2-3 or 4-2-1-3 with Karagounis as AMF, I didn't see full match.

[Josh]

I'd be more inclined to say the latter, but they replaced Karagounis with Patzatzoglou leaving three more defensive players in the midfield, not that it did them much good though.

[Papanight]

Otto finished the match like this...

======GK=====
RB==CB==CB==LB
==DM==CM==DM=
==========WF
====CF==CF===

With Salpigidis as LWF (never played there only in right flank for club), Two pure CF (Gekas,Kapetanos) , nobody in the right flank, 2 DM (Tziolis, Patsatzoglou) and one CM who didnt give a fuck to help the team offensively or defensively..

We started the match imo in a 4-1-2-3 with Tziolis as a DM and Katsou and Kara as a CM. Also a bizarre lineup with Charisteas as RW being useless and Samaras coming very deep for a LW to get the ball.
