Do not know what the average people overthere earn but the cheapest ticket is 2 Euro (5 Lari in their currancy) and for 10 Euro you are in the VIP. For is westeners this is so cheap that it seems like trying to fill the stadium.

We thank you for your service.

 

 

Cimirot seems to be all right again (after the scare from the last friendly), and Tziolis as well (from even earlier). Campos has some sort of minor ACL aggravation, but it doesn't seem like it'll keep him from at least joining the team and probably starting. Either way, we shouldn't need our best players to take out Dinamo.

What will happen, is the same as what happens each time - someone blinks, life goes on, maybe a few domestic matches are rescheduled, refs get threatened, Olympiakos wins the title, PAOK gets a 6 point deduction in the playoffs.

Good question. He's looked pretty good in what game time he's had, too. If he is as good as we think he is, then he'll earn his way back into the first team.

 

 

 

As for the lineup, what I'd like to see:

 

                 --Glykos--

--Matos--Crespo--Tzavellas--Leovac--

          --Cimirot--Charisis--

  --Campos--             --Rodrigues--

            --Pereyra--Klaus--

 

 

What I think we'll see:

 

                 --Glykos--

--Matos--Crespo--Tzavellas--Leovac--

     --Cimirot--Shakhov--Charisis--

     --Campos--Klaus--Rodrigues--

It will be interesting to see how Canas plays.  We haven't had a proper "shield" in front of the defense since Garcia.  Cimirot does the job quite well, but I'm not sure he can do it adequately against good opposition.  Tziolis, Charisis, Kace they aren't the sort of players to play this role, and I believe, it's 50% of the reason why we've conceded so many cheap goals in recent years.  The other 50% is not having a solid CB so I'm hoping that Canas and Varela can finally stabilise the defensive part of our game.

It does sound like Canas will be playing. One of the sites is predicting a 4-1-4-1 with Canas in front of the defenders, Cimirot/Shakhov  in the middle, and the normal wingers + Klaus (because Pereyra literally needs to kill a man to get a shot).
