So you're saying the timing is awful and you don't have a whole lot of confidence the club will spend the money adequately? Mate there is no chance the club has scouted or prepared for this in anyway. Remember the sale of Koulierakis, we knew he was leaving in the summer from the previous January. We held onto him until we qualified for the Europa League that summer and then proceeded to scramble after he was officially sold in LATE August and we signed Omar Colley as a free-agent. Who was underwhelming to say the least.

He was coming to us before the sale of the Messiah. Anyone we get now will be telling how we spend. Unfortunately the transfer period is almost over so hopefully we scouted a few players before hand

Thank god we sold our best player on and got 26 million! They can't mess it up from here😁 Am I doing it right boys @pash @PaokCT 😉

Think he'll learn a lesson? Or nah?

The reason being that he was also our captain in the game, although I heard that he was facing a possible 3-game ban.

The difference this season is that we will play one game against a team from our own seeded group (AEK, Olympiakos or Panathinaikos) in the League Phase portion.

Draw is Tuesday August 25th, 19:00 EEST.

The scenario was written all over it from the start.

The teams that will enter the League Phase portion of the Greek Cup: AEK Olympiakos PAOK Panathinaikos Levadeiakos OFI NFC Volos Aris Atromitos Kifisia Kalamata Panserraikos AE Larisa Niki Volos Nestos Chrysoupolis Ellas Syrou or Marko The teams will be seeded into 4 groups. Each team will play one team from every seeded groups. Each team will play two home and two away games. The results will count into an overall 16-team standings. The top 4 will qualify directly to the quarterfinals. Teams 5-12 will play a playoff round. The last 4 will be eliminated.

Seeing a bunch of posts about Koulouris having agreed terms with the team, so looks like our downgrade from Giakoumakis is complete.

Zivkovic received a 2 game ban for his red card against Anderlecht. He will miss both Brann games.

Not possible. The deadline to do that has passed.

inPAOK was saying the trainings make it looks like they might play a 4-3-3 with Louchet or Camara as the third option. Doesn't really make the picture clearer, of course. Just means we can expect to see one of Louchet, Camara, or Pelkas get the start there. I am certain that either way, Chatsidis gets the start on the right wing. In other news, it looks like Ali trained normally so I wouldn't be surprised if he sees action (though probably as a sub, I'd assume). I thought I saw him wearing a brace of some sort as well.

Hearing rumors of postponement so we could focus on conf league?

Konstantelias has temporarily retired from the Ethniki and has ruled himself out of the 4 matches in September. Remains to be seen when/if he makes himself available again.

They are similar, but 4-3-3 does not really have a "dekari", which in our case was Konstantelias. Pelkas can play that position for sure, but he has been very poor so far and if I was the coach I would not be starting him. Also, UEFA for some reason changed the refs for this game. Instead of the Portuguese refs we now have German refs.

Don’t we always play a 4-3-3? 4-2-3-1 is essentially the same…

With the absence of Konstantelias (and Zivkovic), I would not be surprised to see a 4-3-3 formation. It will be while before we see Despodov. Taha Ali has been doing minimal training. He might be available for the 2nd leg.

We are so short on players we are playing dudes at random positions

Summer signings are almost over and what a summer it has been for the Greek National team 1. Tzolakis signed with Hull 2. Koulierakis signed with Roma 3. Karetsas signed with Borussia 4. Konstantelias signed with Borussia 5. Tzolis signed with Arsenal Rumors that Barcelona are looking at Pavlidis and there are several teams looking at Mouzakitis. Is Jovanovic gonna wake up and start Konstantelias over Bakasetas (no team) and Mouzakitis over Kourbelis ?? Lets see Konstantelias plays w/Dortmund 30M transfer fee vs Bakasetas 900k value currently no team Mouzakitis plays w/Oly currently worth 25-30M on market vs Kourbelis (Asteras Tripolis I believe) worth 900k. Mind boggling. Either he starts them or get rid of this coach and get another coach for Euro qualifying.

Ugh and Taylor as CM

Am I reading that right? 4 left backs?? Wouldn’t surprise me to see them play Baba as LW

Bet you they're going to make the update with another signing right before the game

The list for the matches vs Brann. Weird that Konstantelias is included. But don't know when this list was supposed to be dropped at the offices of UEFA. Παβλένκα, Τσιφτσής, Μοναστηρλής, Κένι, Χατζηδιάκος, Μιχαηλίδης, Ελουστόντο, Γιαννούλης, Γκόμεζ, Μπάμπα, Θυμιάνης, Τέιλορ, Καμαρά, Σανταμαρία, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Ζαφείρης, Άλι, Λουσέ, Τσοπούρογλου, Κωνσταντέλιας, Ζίβκοβιτς, Γερεμέγιεφ και Σορετίρε. Οι Μύθου, Μπέρδος, Χατσίδης και Μπαταούλας έχουν δηλωθεί στη λίστα Β, η οποία προς το παρόν δεν εμφανίζεται στην ιστοσελίδα της UEFA.
