Cluj was pretty scary a few years ago. Haven't paid attention to them since their big CL run. Give me Gent, Rangers, Dundalk

Oh snap that's great. AEK wins as well, it seems. Very few teams below us that I'd be afraid of now -edit- Galatasaray out as well. Big!

Watch us get Milan in pot 3.

They'll probably be conscripted on their return home. Might not be able to field a whole team. I believe they spanked us a few years back?

That is also the case. I am dreading most of the pot 1 teams in the EL as well, btw.

We seem to have another positive coronavirus case

Getting deep in even the "terrible" competition will still be a great accomplishment. It is not CL or nothing. If we had kept a solid record in the Europa League in recent years, then we would not constantly be in the unseeded situation we find ourselves in CL qualifiers. We can still end this season with an improved standing.

I do agree that Pelkas shouldn't have been subbed. Bitch to me about it if you want, but he's our best player, hands-down. Should have started with a real striker. If you're not confident on Colak, then put Swiderski in there. He has the quality. Considering how much time we spent near their box, it beggars belief that we wouldn't put a poacher in there. I was honestly in such a blind rage that I didn't notice the Varela-Michailidis substitution issue. Still too angry to look at the stats, but yes you should be subbing the kid who just turned suicidal over the solid veteran. I don't particularly mind the formation, but when we NEED to score, we should be playing a smarter system. 4-3-3 or something similar. We didn't need three CBs in that lineup; Ingason and Varela (or Crespo in there) would have been just fine.

is that a type of banana

Participating in the CL earns a team as many coefficient points as 3-4 wins in the EL group stage, from what I recall. That's even if you lose each game. It's how Olympiakos kept their coefficient up for so many years.

BTW no way Giannoulis stays with us. If we get an offer for 6-7 million, he's outta here.

The Matos thing is terrible. He's still there in every training session too. Imagine looking at that group and going, "yeah I don't think Matos is good enough to play RB here."

Goal El Kaddouri. For once he decided to stop shooting from 35 meters away

Insipid game, start to finish.

10000%

FINALLY we can hear the fans outside the stadium. Of course just as I say that, the stream on that facebook page gets deleted. Looking now. -edit- "mao mao" is back up. For anyone planning to request entry today, it took me several days to get approved

Amazing luck that two of their best players aren't participating.

Lineup unchanged LET'S GOOOOOO

Hahaha thank you for sharing this, I thought my apartment was too quiet as I stared at these spreadsheets. Chromecast: ACTIVATE! -edit- Looks like we're getting a pregame show as well:

I bet you he'll play at least some of the game. Big that Wanderson is out though.

Just got approved as a follower on my end

Just received the coupon for the online store that Blackhawk mentioned a while back. This guy's gonna be so black and white he could run for political office

Woke up at 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. So obviously I went on instagram. Maybe it was just my delirium but I could swear that I saw posts about Jaba absconding to Portugal while he awaited an offer from there or Brazil or something. Meanwhile, I see this on inPAOK, which notes the Portugal trip but for a very different (possibly equally fake?) reason: https://inpaok.com/658978/ti-symvainei-me-zaba/

Biseswar and Swiderski trained normally and are available for this match. A shame we're not getting either of them at their peak. By the way, how many subs do we get in this competition, again?
