Regardless what happens the next two games if we don’t top this group Skibbe willl be fired and we will have a new manager to start the euro campaign.. The fact that Mitro was fine and ready to start against Hungary but skibbe put Donis as a striker instead of Mitro should get the guy fired...

you probably missed that bakakis' natural position is a right back while today he played as a winger..a healthy and on form stafylidis is our best players in this position but it's unlikely he'll have played any games by the time we get to face hungary and finland. lykogiannis was ok, not spectacular but no bad as people think. what skibbe needs to do is to play natural wingers and not attacking midfielders out of their position. so i hope for line up of; mparkas, stafylidis, sokratis, manolas, lykogiannis, kourmpelis, zeca, lazaros, fortounis, donis, mitroglou. bench; karnezis, mpakakis, oikonomou, retsos, torosidis, samaris, bouchalakis, fetfatzidis, pelkas, mantalos, karelis.

Easy for us.

Knowing us, we'll probably draw/win against them away. When it comes to Europe, PAOK tends to be the opposite, with a superb away record.

It is so frustrating to see PAOK play defensive when big teams come to town. We had nothing to lose against Chelsea today and I believe it was criminal to start with no striker in the team. I would like to see Paschalakis benched. Indeed he made a few good saves but he is starting to make mistakes. He is also very annoying when taking goal kicks as he is dreadfully slow. All in all very disappointing. This was a training session for Chelsea.

I like this idea of how Skibbe job is on the line. We can now play our best players going forward. The team will be on fire as well as Skibbe now has to win at all costs. No more Tziolis and Tzavellas.

Refs from overseas for derbies is a great idea. We saw in last years cup final which had 3 red cards and a penalty not one decision was argued by the players. They accepted it and moved on. Has this been enforced by FIFA or did the Superleague commission agree to having foreign refs for derbies?

Το σκορ 1-2 υπέρ του Άρη. Πιστεύω ότι θα τα πάμε καλύτερα εκτός έδρας.

IMO the most impressive teams so far have been: 1. PAOK 2. Oly 3. AEK 4. Aris Aris has really surprised me given that this is their first season back in the top flight for some time. Will be interesting to see if they can break into the European scene.

I read today that the officials in the PAOK-AEK game this coming weekend will not be Greek, what a sad and shameful move by those in charge. There is not a league worldwide in any sport that has perfect referees, they are human and make mistakes, deal with it!!!! In Greece though referee errors are not coincidental, unless of course they are in favor of the team one supports.

If they weren't financing them, Aris would probably have remained in the lower leagues for a couple more years. Now, OSFP has a team that has one purpose, not to let PAOK win the league. Let's protect our team and don't fall in their traps.

The ref (Mattias Gestranius) and his assistants are from Finland.

My biggest worry is injuries and provocations for our players to be carded. After all on Sunday after that game we play against the team that is financing them.

I read online that there was a 400% increase in attendance on MD3 compared to last year. I'm sure Aris being back in the tope flight helped greatly.

Lucescu has to do rotation. This cup game is almost meaningless. Aris will play as it's a final and as Christo said they will probably try to provoke us to get red cards. That will be a nightmare. I would say bring on the second team for that match. They should be able to smash Aris and they will be also getting their chance to play. Kitsiou-Malezas-Crespo-Tosca Canas-Shakhov Warda-Pelkas-Karelis Akpom Then depending on how the match goes, El Kaddouri or Biseswar comes in for Pelkas, Pontus for Canas or Shakhov, and Limnios for Warda or Karelis.

Good point when you look at it from that perspective. Looking at the pot 2 teams none are really scary. Holland are on the decline and have one of there weakest starting 11 in years. Italy are in transition. Poland looked poor allover the pitch at the WorldCup. N. Ireland, Slovakia, Romania, Austria can all be beaten. Maybe Iceland would be the most difficult team out of pot 2.

Alefantos for me would be ideal. He's passionate about greek soccer. knowledgable. has a proven track record and available. I think he doesn't rate staf tho but he'd get holebas back into the picture and he's not that stubborn. he didn't rate pelkas either but pelkas won him over. we'd also get siovas back into the picture and he also understands that toro is on his last legs. he clearly just understand the game well. skibbe seems more concerned in making sure the camera catches him doing a blue steel pose at the right moment to capture that cougar demographic
