Malezas trained without discomfort, he'll be ready for this match too.

Looking more and more likely that Sambo will be sold to Beitar Jerusalem. If we can make our money back on him, I'd be happy.

Warda called up for Egypt's friendly vs Togo on March 20th

Malezas is questionable for this game, he was taken off early vs Olympiakos due to a minor thigh injury. Everyone else should be available.

I'm amazed he got them fit enough to make it this far without completely falling apart. Imagine what he can do with a team that only plays once a week now.

For sure. Kitsiou and Charisis don't get enough game time...Pelkas, he should already know (and also doesn't play)...and Malezas is too old / competing in a position with too much depth.

Skibbe will be attending this match, after also attending our game vs Olympiakos and the away match vs Schalke. His assistant watched our 0-3 loss to Schalke. Guy's doing his homework.

Looks like their new stadium just got approved. I think it's kind of ugly, myself. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-s-new-500m-stadium-given-the-green-light-after-receiving-final-approval-from-sadiq-khan-a3482286.html

I mostly think it's good for us because I'm still hoping for a late-stage implosion by Panionios. Anything that helps us gain points on them will help. As for Xanthi - making it to the playoffs is entirely in their hands. They've been good this year and deserve it.

Ending their playoff hopes would be to do a service to all of Greece. Don't need more teams unable to qualify for Europe.

Panionios-AEK has ended a 1-1 draw, great result for us.

No reason we shouldn't leave that stadium with three points in the bag.

Katsouranis played for a game as well, right before he retired Don't forget that Avraam played in Japan, too!

Bento's no longer the coach of Olympiakos. Hopefully they end up playing even worse.

Campos has reached four yellows and will miss one of our next four games (AEK, Panionios, AEL, Atromitos). Thankfully we have all of our wingers back in action so we should be fine in coverage. Of greater concern is that Varela, Crespo, and Malezas are all on three yellows. We might be seeing a pretty different team vs Larissa.

Worked out, too. I hope we see more of Kace, he was pretty good. After chewing on it for a while, I've decided to declare Shakhov as man of the match. Now you can all calm down.

Prijovic is the man. Novasports highlights:

Press conference just started, Bento on now:

Gives them more time to pick the best opponents for you-know-who ;)

They'll win, unless some freakish run of bad form hits him. Chances are we'll be drawn against them in the Cup, anyway. Apart from the first 25-30 minutes of the game, I thought we were much better. This is a good morale boost, hopefully it's a sign that we're back to our previous form. I thought Kace was great when he came on, he was absolutely everywhere. I miss that aggression. Warda showed that he deserves that slot over Biseswar, too. Passing could have been slightly better, but he's an absolute warrior. Well done by the defenders as well, they made Olympiakos look neutered. Who's our MotM?

We play AEK next week, away. Olympiakos plays Atromitos (in 8th place). I want to believe.

That's game! Wonderful result!

Dekari Warda, what a turnaround

Five minutes stoppage

Warda's right to be pissed, jumped right over that ball
