BostonThanatos Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Does ArenaSport in Serbia (?!?) have any deal for Super League games this year?? This'll be tough with 2 days rest, it'll be interesting to see who Tudor uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 True. If Klaus isn't ready to play tomorrow, then he won't be playing this weekend either. Salpi is out too. Koulouris seems to be the obvious choice to play at least one of those games. Wouldn't be surprised to see him matched up with Jairo up in front, and Rodrigues on one wing.

BostonThanatos Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm reading that Kace and Klaus are not available due to punishment...Is this related to last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Kace collects yellows like it's his job, so it wouldn't surprise me. Klaus definitely got multiple cards in the last few games, I remember him purposely getting a red due to some protest. If he does have to sit this one out, and is still injured (therefore, not named to the 18 or whatever), does this still count towards his suspension? As in, does he have to be actually available in order to serve the punishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Unfortunately Pelkas is not a available due to a injury. Salpi is also ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We have enough players at each position that we have some depth to cover for the above. Really, to me, only center backs are a problem. My wild guess: --Olsen-- --Skondras--Malezas--Tzavellas--Leovac-- --Sabo--Cimirot-- --Rodrigues--Mistakidis--Jairo-- --Koulouris-- I'm probably way off. I figure he's most likely to rest Vitor/Costa, but then again he also has shown a preference for two strikers at all times, which would imply that any of Rodrigues/Mistakidis/Jairo could be moved up into that position.

BostonThanatos Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If he has the personnel, why not stick to the 3-5-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I don't think he trusts Poungouras or Qose (is Qose even still with the team?) there. Although, he could just rest one of those three from yesterday, and put Tzavellas in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Qose is not with the team. Not sure if he is even on the U20 team. BTW you are missing Mak in your lineup pash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I was guessing he wouldn't be played so soon after the last game, but then again there's no reason to use him on the 27th, so...yeah, you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 If he has the personnel, why not stick to the 3-5-2? I'm liking the 3-5-2. Having 3 at the back is making up for the fact that our defense has been shaky for a long time. There will be times when it's not necessary or we don't have the personnel, but for now, I'm happy to have it as our "default" formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdkmangosalsa Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 we should still win this despite the missing players. i was heavily debating not watching the SL this year but the recent european whooping has me in a good mood, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BostonThanatos Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Has anyone tried www.Best-Greek.TV ?? It says they have Nova for $15/month ... Here's the lineup: I'm pretty excited about seeing these guys play together...Only 6/11 players were in the lineup in Europe. It's promising to see Tudor feels like some of these guys are ready to start... Edited August 23, 2015 by BostonThanatos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
