I would prefer to see Sastre there too, but Kedziora may be more what Lucescu's looking for in a backup, if he wants pure defense (esp since we'll likely be up against a stronger opponent).

Looks like we have a list already? Μπάμπα, Τάισον, Γιόνι, Ντεσπόντοφ, Εκόνγκ, Γιαξής, Κεντζιόρα , Κωνσταντέλιας , Κοτάρσκι , Κουλιεράκης, Μεϊτέ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μουργκ , Οζντόεφ, Σαμάτα , Σβαμπ, Μάρκος Αντόνιο , Ταλιχμανίδης, Μπράντον, Τσιγγάρας, Βιεϊρίνια, Ζίβκοβιτς , Α.Ζίβκοβιτς Any surprises here? For me, maybe the omission of Tzimas, though he's probably on the back-up list. I notice Nasberg is off the list as well.

Honestly, those are all quite reasonable. I would bet you Taison would ask for slightly less if we gave him the two-year contract.

Taison agreed to a single-year extension (and this has been announced by the team). Murg seems on his way to a 2+1. Hopefully Lucescu actually signs soon too.

WILL KAROL SINGLE-HANDEDLY KEEP HELLAS VERONA IN SERIE A?! TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

Saw a blurb on the fan violence-related bill passing, but it was very sparse on the details (a phone-based app and more cameras). Does anyone know more about what passed, and if any of it will actually work to make the country take a step towards being a first world nation?

My only regret is that we did not have more of a rotation. Get all of the B team in there! Did Brandon Thomas REALLY need to play at the end? Anyway, at least we'll have some guys nice and rested. Hopefully Atromitos is worn out. -edit- speaking of worn out...Ricardo a bit worse for wear as he may have cracked his collarbone...

AND HE SHOULDA SCORED!

Atromitos really should have gone for it. They seemed to have played mostly starters in this. This is good because at least they will be more tired in four days...

Tzimas getting into position pretty well. Should have been 2:1 😉

The lineup: --Zivkovic-- --Sastre--Nasberg--Michailidis--Soares-- --Tsiggaras--Schwab-- --Zivkovic--Antonio--Konstantelias-- --Tzimas-- I was SO CLOSE!

Panathinaikos scores just as I tune in. I am the worst luck.

Well I would have thought they'd bring Kedziora in but I guess that's a no-go. Not a ton of options otherwise. Unless Nasberg starts there and we play two Greek CBs (!)... A pity, this would have been a perfect game for Vieirinha. Instead we'll probably see him start vs Olympiakos and get repeatedly burned.

Will be interesting to see who plays here. Really need a heavy, heavy rotation. Here's what I'd do! --Zivkovic-- --Sastre--Nasberg--Michailidis--Soares-- --Tsiggaras--Schwab-- --Zivkovic--Antonio--Ricardo-- --Tzimas-- Not that I think it will happen (particularly with Ricardo, though I'd LIKE to see some of him). Feels kind of good to know that this lineup would PROBABLY finish top-four in Greece too. Well maybe 4th. Just with a much worse goal differential.

PUT ME IN, COACH!

Just announced: -edit- Also, take this as you will: https://inpaok.com/806915/stin-atzenta-oi-ananeoseis-taison-mourgk/ I hope my concerns are just paranoia. I don't, by the way, have an issue with Murg wanting more money - you should always expect your compensation to increase, in any role. Especially when your performance justifies it.

That's what I get for trusting the fan sites! I did see your last post as I wrote that, but I figured maybe you were drunk off jenever!

Murg (three cards) and Baba (six cards) must sit out on of these upcoming games: Atromitos, AEK, Olympiakos, Panaitolikos Which would you choose? For me, I think I'd rather get the suspensions out of the way next weekend. I would rather have Baba "clean" for the two derbies, and there's probably no chance that these guys don't pick up cards vs AEK or Olympiakos...

I know you already had this answered but to reiterate: not great. But really, at no point did I feel Panathinaikos could beat us. Two more derbies to go...

Despodov is an absolute BEAST. My God, so consistent. I looove watching these Taison runs though

It seems Samatta is not really injured (or at least, not VERY injured) and was just taken off as a precaution. Can't wait to see him go back to not scoring for us!

Very good chance that Anastasiadis will be at the match too. Touching! The panagia will guide the ball right in.

I have no idea why we would be interested in this guy, but presenting the rumor for your consideration: https://www.transfermarkt.us/mickael-malsa/profil/spieler/205569 https://inpaok.com/806393/sti-lista-tou-paok-o-mikael-malsa/

PAOK media def took a step down when that guy left the club. Makes me wonder if he left because he knew they wanted to stop going the extra mile, or if they stopped going the extra mile because he left.

dawwww my little pumpkin spice latte, don't be mad!
