[quote="COLOSSUS"]When i saw the line up, i knew we were in trouble. Papadopoulos is a Kreas and Basinas is a has been. 1st goal for Swiss was a stupid foul to give away, and the 2nd, the commentator said that Papa slipped. My assssss he slipped, he tried to intercept and missed it completely when all he had to do was stay on his feet. Charisteas has found a purple patch, and its good to see him scoring regularly with his feet for a change, great finish by him.
The loss itself isnt that bad, we are still clear top by 2 points to the Swiss, and we will probably get a result in Berne on the return leg as we did with the Turkeys in the last Euro qualifying campaign. I think its actually good they lost, because it brings them back to earth, and when you lose at home, it makes you think twice about what you have to do to make sure you get what you want.
The other thing im confused with sometimes, is Ottos selections. Im not going to question the guy just yet because he has performed miracles with our NT, but he cant hang his hat on that forever. He must be made accountable when he goes out with that sort of a lineup. Just my thoughts, what about you Kop, and Olympiakos, what are your thoughts???

yeh i think he is pretty stubborn with his selections, but must give him credit, he has refreshed the squad somewhat slowly bringing in newer players, although not many, papadopoulos may need a bit of time, i think he should bring ninis in slowly, lyberopoulos, basinas, dellas have to be phased out slowly, but qualification for wc10 is a must
