Original 21

Vargas started. Platellas got hurt in practice. Don't even bother watching unless you're having trouble sleeping.

^still salty that Lamia won't be promoted for yet another year eh?

When Barbosa isn't in the starting 11 and Johanson is out of form, we don't have the ability to play a 4-3-3. Hopefully Poyet sees this.

We just lost to a team that an awful PAOK beat 3-0 last week.

JESUS CHRIST ARE YOU KIDDING ME

ANT1 announcer is about to kill Djebour... And then he missed a huge change to score...

It's so stupid that we changed the formation back to a 4-3-3 in this game.

Now that I think about it, Pekhart isn't that bad, he was bad yesterday but he did pretty decently in the other games. I see some things I like in him, mainly that he's a tall target man and is a pretty good ball distributer and ball control. He can be useful in a game like this against a team that's going to defend for their lives. I'd still start him over Barbosa and Vargas in a position they really haven't played in at all, at least for a few more games. I could also see either of them starting over Diego, some tough decisions for Poyet to make.

We play Sunday against Panaitolikos in Agrinio which is always tough to play in. It's an early morning game, 3pm kickoff in Greece. It was nice to come away with an easy win against Panthrakikos so hopefully we'll make a new winning streak. Hopefully Poyet goes with the 4-4-2 diamond that worked well yesterday. I'd start: ------------------------Baroja Galo------Kolovetsios---Arzo-------Didac ------------------------Simoes----------------- --------------Johanson-----Mantalos------- ---------------------Buononotte--------------- ---------------Aravidis--------Pekhart------- My only problem with this formation is that there really isn't a spot for Barbosa or Vargas.

There's no issue. We will be competing in Europe without any problems.

We haven't done anything the second half. Panthrakikos has subbed on their backup Goalkeeper, he's 16 years old, and is the Presidents son.

Pekhart isn't the long term answer up front. Bench option at best next year.

Half time. We did nothing after the two substitutions, they really cut our rhythem.

Kolovetsios got elbowed and he started to bleed really badly. He's coming off for Labropoulos. I don't like that we had to waste two substitutions in 30 minutes already...

Best soccer we've played this year. Great first 25 minutes. Soiledis was playing his best game of the year and then he got injured, Vasiloantonopoulos is making his debut in his spot.

GOAL ARAVIDIS AGAIN. Mantalos with a great run and a great cross to Aravidis. He might have been offside, I need to see a replay.

I'm watching on ANT1 so I got nothing for you, sorry

GOALARA ARAVIDIS. Great cross by Soiledis and a great header by Aravidis. I want at least 4 goals today.

The change in formation to a 4-3-3 with no true dekari position lost us Diego. I'm happy that Poyet changed the formation and let Diego try and prove himself in his true position.

GOALLLLLLLLLLL DIEGO!

It's raining a ton, and it's a Monday against a bad team. All of this means that there are less than 4K people at the game.

He went with Baroja Galo Arzo Kolovetsios Soileids Simoes Cordero Mantalos BUONONOTTE Pekhart and Aravidis. It looks like a 4-4-2 Diamond with Diego behind Pekhart and Aravidis. I like it, testing a new formation against a really bad team, hopefully Diego takes the opportunity to play in his true position and show us some magic. However I'm upset he went with Arzo again instead of Labropoulos or Tzanetopoulos.

Vargas and Barbosa are out with cards so expect Platellas to start.
