Squad

Pantelis Michail stands alone

10 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Konstantinos Giannakou in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Iraklis Gerolakkou this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Nenad Dimitrijevic at Iraklis Gerolakkou

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Nenad Dimitrijevic is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Iraklis Gerolakkou come up short against Omonia 29M

Omonia 29M left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Loan watch

Nicholas Economides wants to come home

“I did not go to Karmiotissa to sit and watch. I want to come back to Iraklis Gerolakkou and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Squad

A row about effort at Iraklis Gerolakkou

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Stelios Ioannou was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Manos Sbokos gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Dimitris Charalambous faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Dimitris Charalambous after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Market

Léo Schwechlen brings the grey hairs Iraklis Gerolakkou lacked

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

The cup run ends for Iraklis Gerolakkou

0‑6 against Anorthosis, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings

Kostakis Artymatas scores twice — 8.58

Two goals and a mark of 8.58 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Michalis Demetriou keeps Iraklis Gerolakkou in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Jason Nicolaou — 3.49

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 3.49 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

The terraces

A cup embarrassment at Anorthosis follows Iraklis Gerolakkou home

0-6. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 28 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Words exchanged at Iraklis Gerolakkou

Kostakis Artymatas and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Iraklis Gerolakkou and Anorthosis in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

The step up is real for Jason Nicolaou

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.
