    no comparison between taxi and de rossi. de rossi just a tad faster, but challenged at better angles and relished tackling. energy to play box to box, though played deeper in the CM and even at CB late in his career. sent off a record amount of times in serie a, i believe.

    taxi had him beat on vision..i'd say technique was too close to call. de rossi made it look easier because he had a high football iq. always made the right turn with the ball, shielded the ball correctly..etc...etc..

    as far as roma fans, 2nd place roma had a 3/4 greek back 4 in 2014-2015 had conceded only 7 goals more than juventus - who won the title by 17 points. roma's problem that year was scoring - 8th best scoring cub in italy that year.

        i disagree. the two yellows and sending off against belgium seemed to end his NT career with skibbe. this of course, after winning a header high in the CM for mitroglou to score the 0-1. this occurred in the spring of 2017.

        how many matches has he had from the croatia disaster (fall of 2017) until now? you say he's had an opportunity to make his mark until 2019? no. ZERO opportunity in a 3-man CM.

        2018 greece x estonia 0-1. zeca-bouchalakis-samaris. 2018 finland x greece 2-0. tziolis-fortounis-zeca. 2018 hungary x greece 2-1. bouchalakis-kourbelis-fortounis.

        2019 greece x italy 0-3. kourbelis-samaris-zeca. 2019 greece x armenia 2-3. samaris-zeca-fortounis. 2019 finland x greece 1-0. kolovos-kourbelis-bouxalakis. 2019 greece - liechtenstein 1-1. samaris-bouxalakis-fetfa. 2019 greece x italy 0-2 zeca-kourbelis-bouxalakis.

        never got a 2 year span (all qualifiers for euro or WC) as a constant in the 11.

        is some of that his fault? sure. the fact that many of the CMs who started above in lieu of taxi - is it their fault they are garbage?

          don't forget that taxi never got a chance to 'click' with actual wingers - this poor guy had salpi on the right wing in august of 2014 against romania. samaras sleepwalking on the left after WC 2014?? nikos karelis on the left for a few matches? no donis, limnios, tzolis, giannoulis, masouras or tzimikas?

          with that wide talent, let's allow bouxa, kourbelis and bakasetas to waste it.

            just in time, today - la gazzetta dello sport has a small write-up on taxi.

            L'edizione odierna de La Gazzetta dello Sport, elogia le prestazioni di Panagiotis Tachtsidis ed evidenzia un numero che fa capire l'importanza del centrocampista ellenico nello schieramento tattico di Eugenio Corini: "Zero le sconfitte incassate dai giallorossi con il greco in campo. In sette partite sono arrivate cinque vittorie e due pareggi". E su di lui, il tecnico giallorosso, dice: "È un giocatore dominante, davvero fondamentale. Ha raggiunto la maturità atletica, così le qualità emergono di più".
            taxi's importance to serie b leader lecce. 7 matches - 5 victories and 2 draws. taxi's manager corini says taxi has matured athletically and is in the prime of his career.

              taxi played earlier today - not great grades; 5.5-6, in lecce's 2-2 home draw with venezia. lecce out of first place.

              nikolaou's empoli with a match tomorrow...with a victory, empoli get into 2nd place.

                didn't see any highlites or the match, but nikolaou's empoli side drew 0-0 on monday. decent grades, mostly 6.5s.

                i've also noticed that lykogiannis and kyriakopoulos at cagliari and sassuolo, respectively; have been bench players the past few weeks.

                  ah, the taxi-man taxidis. just on cue - after all the accolades.

                  taxi had a poor match against frosinone in lecce's 2-2 draw - including a booking for diving. frosinone used the cypriot kastanos; who is on juve's books. kastanos with a good grades for this match.
