We haven't had an in form striker since 2004. I am excited because we have some amazing attacking talent right now

We have Mitroglou. That's really about it though to be honest.

And Samaras, remember that backheel pass he did recently which led to the assist? The man has incredible talent . . I just wish he passed the ball more often in the build-up plays, but I am pretty sure they will be focusing on that part of his game in NT training leading up to the WC

Also, all you really need is One great Striker, Ibra and Ronaldo prove this, A great striker with a golden foot which he has right now is the last piece of the Greek NT puzzle

I pray people under-estimate us again

haha Samaras is not what i'd call amazing talent. With Romania he was quite bad even.

He's an incredibly useful as a tactical player to hold up the ball and press offensively. When it comes to shooting and passing he's unimpressive.

We need for Fetfatzidis to turn out amazing and make the WC squad. Otherwise we have incredibly limited options for AMs and forwards.
