Campos, btw, has switched positions with Warda

Oh my God Henrique what the F*** are you doing

And there's the goal

Berg with a header, Glykos saved. He's been almost entirely unmarked this whole game

Their through balls haven't been working, but the fact that they've managed so many is a bad sign

I say it's a good sign - Pelkas and Prijovic as subs

Laola should also be showing this but it's taking forever: http://www.laola1.tv/en-int/livestream/panathinaikos-fc-paok-thessaloniki-fc-len

I'm very surprised (and impressed). Pame!

^ someone get this guy a job at ESPN!

Klaus might get the start due to his experience. Would be a hell of a time to suddenly get back into form. The more I think about it, though, the more I think Ivic might use a surprise 3-5-2. --Glykos-- --Varela--Malezas--Crespo-- --Matos--Canas--Shakhov--Cimirot--Leovac-- --Campos--Klaus-- At least one site, though, is predicting Biseswar as a winger opposite Campos. So, really, I guess we have no idea what we'll see. What I do know, is that I am also pumped about this game.

Ivic is very conservative, as much as I'd love to see Prijovic smack them around I can't see him getting more than a few minutes. Hell, this could just be a psychological trick by Ivic, making them wonder about what is going on with this serial killer we have on our bench

Looks like it was postponed due to a bomb that went off a few kilometers away

Their game today was postponed until Wednesday (tomorrow)

Here are the people who are going to Athens: Γλύκο, Σιαμπάνη, Μάτος, Κίτσιου, Λέοβατς, Μαλεζά, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Κάνιας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Πέλκα, Ουάρντα, Ενρίκε, Κάμπος, Ματθαίου, Αθανασιάδη, Κουλούρη, Πρίγιοβιτς Yeah, you read that right - Prijovic. Wow. Also notable - no Kace.

Should be an interesting game. Here's an article about (what they assume are) Ivic's thoughts: http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Paok/o-ivits-exei-hdh-xaraksei-to-plano-toy-hmitelikou.4619959.html Basically - go there with a "don't concede" mentality. Sounds like we'll be playing Canas, Biseswar, Campos, Koulouris, Malezas (none of which are a surprise). Rely on a counterattacking game, possibly with a 3-5-2 formation. The remainder of the players are pretty obvious - Glykos, Matos, Leovac, Crespo, and both of Cimirot and Shakhov. Going in with a defensive posture always makes me nervous, since it's a great way to lose a game. I guess we'll see.

It's not, as far as I know. Just weird that they'd say something before he even signed.

So then aim for fifth! ;) And thanks boo

I can't remember the club ever showing off a player like this before they even signed. Must be a done deal.

I can only hope that PAO's team also does not get worked up over the playoffs. I, for one, want my team to give it a shot.

D'oh! Looks like I'm a Levadiakos fan this weekend

Eh, even then, we'd only be nine points ahead. AEK would need to get no more than two points out of these next two matches for us to get that extra playoff point.

Here's also a hypothetical set of events that could end up with us being seeded in the Champions League qualifying rounds (assuming we win the play offs): http://www.sport24.gr/football/ChampionsLeague/etsi-paei-stoys-isxyrous-o-paok.4618339.html

Varela's injury was confirmed as minor, he *should* be available on Wednesday, but Ivic may sit him out as a precaution. CB is the position I'm least worried about personally, Malezas would be just fine starting in his place. Also, I think Leto won't play in this next match (disciplined), and possibly will miss the leg in Toumba. My guess: --Glykos-- --Matos--Malezas--Crespo--Leovac-- --Canas--Shakhov-- --Campos--Biseswar--Henrique-- --Klaus--
