Balogiannis coming on for Biseswar (MotM)

That's a good point Yianni...certainly possible. Another possibility for why he went out and Karelis didn't - Karelis hasn't been getting a lot of game time, and perhaps he wants to use this as a training opportunity for Prijo to have a strike partner? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Prijogoal

Blown away by the condition of this field. Reminds me of those shots the team posted of Giannina's from a few seasons ago.

What a waste

Goal Canas!

Ahhh Diego that shoulda gone in -edit- Chuba: "Hold my drink"

Haha they're so intimidating! All 23 of them. Let's score a few more and then let some youngsters play, I say.

Goal Karelis, easy as pie

4-4-2 diamond, at that. Definitely no lack of attacking intent here. Should be interesting to see both Akpom and Karelis playing.

Hey man, I just know what the degenerates on twitter, tweet at me

What exactly is the background on this? The pics of the scene look pretty bad

Here are the players. Ρέι , Γλύκος , Τόσκα , Μαλεζάς , Χατσερίδης , Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο , Κάνιας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Ζαμπά , Λημνιός , Πρίγιοβιτς , Άκπομ , Καρέλης , Μπαλογιάννης , Λύρατζης , Τσιγγάρας, Ουάρντα I wouldn't be against a bit rotation here. Kitsiou has a mild injury, as does Mauricio (which is why they're not in the lineup). I think Shakhov is out for personal reasons. Would like to get a look at the below two youth players in their natural positions. --Rey-- --Lyratzis--Kacheridi--Crespo--Tosca-- --Balogiannis--Canas-- --Jaba--Biseswar--Warda-- --Akpom-- -edit- actually I'd like to see Malezas start there - probably over Crespo.

Whoever we get, regardless of who it is, will play two or three meaningless games, tops. This is Lucescu we're talking about.

I would also rather have Charisis. But keep in mind Moulin plays in the DM role and Meliopoulos might be arriving in two weeks. Either way, no reason to hire a new person, for sure

I agree. We don't need another player there, esp since we're out of Europe. If need be, we can see if Moulin's club is disinterested in keeping him (last I heard, he wasn't getting much game time/was injured). Also - the Xanthi kid is a DM. It's possible he was already slated to come our way this winter anyway.

He's a gem. Worked well with Warda as well, who provides a lot of the running ability that he lacks. We have a lot of good potential combinations in that line of wingers/AMs, except El Kaddouri ?

They haven't done an MRI yet, calm down!!!! CALM DOWN EVERYONE

Scoring on them will require them to open that parked bus up a little bit, if they still want to go for the counter. Warda and Limnios have the speed to take advantage of any errors that they make. Hopefully Prijovic doesn't play too deep, we'll need him up front (or, perhaps, we should change him with Akpom).

Cannot believe the quality of the streams I've found. The above just keeps giving me porn (terrible for a work PC), while the other keeps resetting to the start of the game. I saw everything in the goal up to the point where Prijo started to kick. Then nothing. But on the plus side, I've now seen the huddle four times!

Doesn't look good for Wernbloom. Shakhov is a positive change though, should still signal attacking intent.

The above lineup is confirmed:

About ten minutes left, AEK is currently level with AEL. Lulz. -edit- That's game. Man, AEL is terrible. Very pathetic last ten minutes (which is all I saw).

Reports are that Lucescu is starting the below lineup: --Pashalakis-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Tosca-- --Wernbloom--Mauricio-- --Jaba--Biseswar--Warda-- --Prijovic--

If we don't use Tosca now, then when will we? I've seen nothing from him that says we *shouldn't* play him. He's a solid player.
