If the surprise is in their physical fitness, I'll be happy Picture for those who are visual learners:

Perhaps he'll turn out to be lackluster. People have a habit of throwing players to the wolves if they've had five minutes of bad performance (which so far constitutes the entirety of Stoch's actual game time with us this season). I think we're going to sell Jaba and if we do, it'll just make the Lamprou sale look stupider. What I think may actually be happening, is that the coach wants to put his own guys in there. So if Jaba goes, he'll select yet another Brazilian.

Word has it his manager is in Thessaloniki to discuss who he will go on loan to. What a waste.

Koulouris with a goal (after blocking his own teammate):

Might see Swiderski start next to Akpom, with Pelkas on the left. I don't hate it.

The smaller clubs have no leverage at all. Whatever the big dogs want, they will get - I guarantee you. I could not imagine the PAOKs of the world successfully launching a competing product, even if they would all agree to do it!

Thoughts on this? https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/premier-league-champions-league-manchester-united-arsenal-liverpool-chelsea-spurs-a9048176.html So basically it won't be a "Champions" League anymore. And will grandfather in the teams that are already there, in perpetuity. Gross.

Agreed. We're not going to stop them from scoring. I am also very confident that we will be able to score. But we need to fight for a lead and keep pressure on them. This won't happen if we hope to sneak through with a goal in the 90th minute. Pelkas and Biseswar need to start this, but the coach should make his subs much earlier. If Biseswar is slowing down at 50 minutes, then bite the bullet and put someone else in who can do the running.

Perhaps he'll count on El Kaddouri as the middle of a 4-3-3. Yuck.

Yeah I don' think Augusto has got what it takes. But I don't think Ferreira is gonna make a chance in the midfield. I read they were spending a lot of their time practicing defending against set pieces - too little, too late my friends Pelkas is a must-start IMO. People are giving him flack for missing that goal - at least he was in the position to threaten twice there.

Could be an endurance thing. If Biseswar and Pelkas don't start (which I don't agree with), they'd surely be put on in the second half.

Considering who Aris would be facing in the next round, they're screwed one way or another.

UEL2 seems more their speed, tbh

Didn't realize they were playing Anderlecht: https://www.facebook.com/ProximusSports/videos/399850320642431/

Very amused by Emperor liking all of the critical posts that have been made in this thread. Have fun trying to qualify babe! ?

Realistically, do we have any hope of improving our conditioning in a week?

I'm very disappointed in how we looked. We had 25 minutes where we looked like we were there to play ball. The rest of the game was literally played at a walking pace.

Augusto in next it looks like

Limnios is the first sub. I'd put Stoch on for Biseswar as well.

A 3-1 end would suit me just fine.

Poor guy. He's more of a PAOK fan than PAOK fans. At least this is finally over. I'm really hoping this means we keep Lamprou (I know I'm repeating myself again).

Reminder: PAOK has never lost a match where Matos has scored with his head
