Now to work on Sabo haha

Penalty given, missed by their player.

I think Warda, meanwhile, has looked pretty good considering how late he's come into the setup. You can tell Lucescu likes him, by how much he's screaming at him. Second excellent dribble in a row by Warda just now btw

You're right, I'm off to pick out a black suit for his funeral now

Beautiful goal by Prijovic -edit- Commentator is saying it doesn't look like a bad injury

Injury for Varela, can't seem to put pressure on the foot. This is a very very very bad thing for us.

Excellent title for the game. Too bad they just scored. -edit- Goal Matos, 1-1

Pffft, settle down there - he's so much better than Tziolis. PAOKTV had a link for this earlier, and now we get another stupid error message: http://tv.paokfc.gr/video/nte-gkraafsap-paok-live -edit- here's the list of who's on the bench (fewer than I would have thought). Several players from yesterday there. Wouldn't be surprised to see Warda get a few minutes at the end. 99 Σιαμπάνης 16 Mihojević 24 Warda 32 Λύρατζης 53 Μπαλογιάννης

Our starting lineup vs Basel De Graafschap

Wernblum never wanted to come to us anyway. We're just a way to raise the minimum offers other teams will give.

One year, they pay full salary, 5mm buy out (unless it changed)

Looks like Lamprou scored the 1-1 -edit- getting creamed now, 3-1 down so far

I can't understand how, as we are already up against the foreigner cap. Unless we drop shakhov?

Charisis has taken the #6 out of Leveque's cold dead hands. Pretty ballsy move for someone who might be loaned out again in a few weeks. Though I do think he's a solid player who I'd rather have than some random Viking mercenary.

Haha whoops. Was looking at them on transfermarkt. Still, they should be ashamed! Ντροπή!

Lyratzis, our U20 RB (18 years old) is heading up to the Netherlands to join the team. He was playing with Greece's U18 squad until now, and started in their 6-7 defeat to Morocco (woof) back in June. I wonder if he'll be put in as a left back?

Yeah but Mithridates kept losing those wars. Will Savvidis accept a loser???

I do agree that Khacheridi wasn't Lucescu's choice (same with Jaba). I don't think that guy will be with us for long. The Savvidis family has some strange obsessions.

Also possible. Of the three #10s, Pelkas is probably the best on the right (though all three more typically play on the left)...it would certainly be one solution if El Kaddouri joined and the three formed a line. I'm still half convinced that he's going back to Italy though.

I don't think Khacheridi was ever going to start in this game. Lucescu takes his time in getting people in, and Crespo and Varela know very well how to play with each other. I'd think if Crespo gets hurt, he'd play Malezas over the new guy too. Limnios is very raw, but Jaba has the same newness problem as Khacheridi. I wouldn't be all that surprised to see him start. Lamprou has looked better than him this preseason, but has a minor injury right now. Mistakidis for me is the best (I know you're shocked to read me saying this), but he hasn't played in his preferred position much this preseason, so I can't see him getting a start.

InPAOK is saying Lucescu used the below lineup today, which is what we'll see in that next friendly (which is now our second-to-last). Even if Warda isn't sold I can't see him starting that first game, hopefully Limnios does get a start. --Paschalakis-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Vieirinha-- --Canas--Mauricio-- --Limnios--Pelkas--Biseswar-- --Prijovic-- It's a very good lineup, and almost certainly what we'll see vs Basel. Only question mark is the right wing position.

A shame. At least Rey didn't give up a PK this time.

Double save by Rey, Prijovic bodyslammed someone who was stupid enough to get in his way. Good times.

Commentator is doing a very good job illustrating the value of a player like Canas to the team. If only the actual pro-PAOK sites would make such constructive comments. I guess when you're looking for a BAM, then you don't have time to talk about actual tactics/strategy.

Goal Jaba!
