UEFA Champions League

[Dean97]

Masouras is a pure winger who has pace and who had a good goal tally last season.

I don't know what Bakasetas is supposed to be. Some sort of slow 10 who can't score and can barely assist?

Masouras for me has a future. He is always a goal away from from a prolonged bit a form. Bakasetas.. he just keeps getting starts in the hope of something. His 1 assist in 25 games should however make a him a starter for the foreseeable future knowing Greek NT logic.

I agree. Masouras does indeed have a future and you’ve summed up Bakasetas perfectly.

We need to step it up 5 gears..

Goal just not coming

[Amorgos]

Meriah is a time bomb...

[Amorgos]

Penalty!

1-0!

[Soprano76]

Need a new CB and striker in the Europa League.

[Reaper]

@ Amorgos - Meriah is one of the worst CBs in the Greek league - seriously.

That game - put me through it. I am quite emotional. Did not want winter without Olympiacos in the EC in the new year.

Wow. Just wow. Very happy. Relieved.

El Arabi - he has a pair. Seriously. He has a big pair.

Bless all the fans and the team.

Man we made hard for ourselves tonight. Happy we are in the Europa league. Proud of the fans, they are the heart of the team. Tsimikas for me man of the match. As time goes on he is becoming more brave and his crosses were brilliant. Very reliable defensively aswell.

Guilherme is fantastic. In my opinion the best midfielder in the league. Imagine if he was in our Greece midfield. Greece would look way more dangerous and way more effective. If we can somehow or someway produce a midfielder like him we will go far. He’s got technique, great pass, good shot, reads the game, strong, smart thinker and full of energy and pace. The most reliable player in the team in my opinion.

Bouchalakis is what he is and can deliver a great pass from time to time. He is a decent player but Guilherme levels above. Camara is like Zeca with a bit more technique.

Masouras needs to find his confidence again. The guy looks like he’s burnt out or something. Still he can be effective with his nice flick passes and determination. He needs to go on the training pitch and practice shooting non stop until he masters it. If he can do that then he will be unstoppable. He does everything else right.

Meriah should be sacked. Semedo needs a player like Cisse or sign Mavropanos on loan for 6 months.

We need a striker. El Arabi and Guerrero are not effective enough. Apparently we are looking to sign Pavlidis. I’d rather he stay in Holland unless he is guaranteed to start most games.

[Reaper]

I think El Arabi is actually fairly good. We just lack a good second striker.

The problem today was Martin's CL squad. We needed Ba instead of Meriah and Soudani instead of Benzia.

I think the rain damaged our game a little too.

[Soprano76]

Do you reckon it's likely Fortounis comes back this season to contribute?

[Kallithea]

I’m doubting it. Even if Fortounis gets over his injury by early 2020, he’ll need time to be conditioned and match fit.

[Kallithea]

As for the result. we underperformed and badly needed a #10 in the lineup. You could see this when the crosses went in and there was only 2 bodies in the box to aim for.
It's annoying to see that we lined up with 3x DM, not getting into the box, all shooting from long distances and we still got caught out when Red Star counter-attacked!
As for Meriah, he needs time to compose himself and sort himself out. I'm not in the loan-him-out/sack-him-instantly club, he just needs time and patience to recover - and I'm definitely not in the "swear-at-our-own-players" club.

[Reaper]

- and I'm definitely not in the "swear-at-our-own-players" club.

That club is the majority of Olympiacos fans concerning Meriah. If there is any language specialist out there wanting to study Greek swearing - hardcore Greek swearing - they needed to be in any cafe in Greece watching the game and taking note what the fans scream when Meriah gave the ball away all game.. Fuck, they just needed to be in the stadium..
