Late to this my god are you right.
He’s been average yes but he’s been getting absolutely grilled for nothing since he step foot onto the pitch.
Seems as if he’s the 4th/5th choice midfielder right now which is absolutely ridiculous imo. Mouzitkitas and Hezze are valid but Garcia and Oliveria have been horrid.
If this continues through till Jan it’ll be very interesting to see how this unfolds because he’s technically already on loan from his parent club.
Might just have to be a season where he has to settle for limited game time which is very normal at his age and in his position but obviously not ideal. mrsmiis
Won 2-0 with Stamenic starting and playing 61 minutes but my god, Olympiacos fans absolutely despise him. Searching his name in Greek is not a fun experience.
They have severe midfield creativity issues so it seems they're scapegoating all of their issues onto him. Hasn't been bad at all whenever I've seen him, he's just not the type of player Olympiacos fans assumed he was
Spoke to an Olympiacos fan, who mentioned that Mendilibar has been trying to play Stamenic as the more creative, progressive midfielder in a two-man midfield alongside Hezze.
To put it bluntly, that's not his game. He's excelled at controlling the tempo and playing long balls/switching, but doesn't have the offensive chops to do what the team demands from him, and has historically been poor in a two-man midfield. Additionally, he's never going to displace Hezze in the more defensive, 'engine room' role. Olympiacos fans aren't familiar with Marko, so they just assume he's a crap player unfortunately (which, as we know, couldn't be further from the truth).
Very annoying from an NZ perspective for Marko to be loaned out to a club that doesn't intend to use him in a suitable role
