Shakhov and Canas on for Jaba and Mauricio, respectively

Very nice goal by Biseswar

He's also claiming in an interview with inPAOK that there's nothing going on. We shall see I guess

We'll see. Words are wind, as GRRM writes. If he does see the door, I'd much rather bring back a loanee (even if it costs some cash to break the deal) than to see us buy another guy who played in Ukraine. We also do have depth in that position even without him.

Makes me think Branco was hired specifically with this in mind. At least this is much more orderly than Michel leaving entirely. I wonder how much of a relationship they'll really have with him going forward. Still a big loss. I like the guy.

It didn't seem like he was seriously injured, judging by the reports. They were going to check him out today and I bet he'll be training normally. Fortunately, we're also done with most of our hardest games before the break. Hopefully he'll really push Matos.

Here's the lineup: Ρέι , Γλύκος , Μάτος , Κίτσιου , Κρέσπο , Μαλεζάς , Χατσερίδης , Σάκχοφ , Βέρνμπλουμ , Κάνιας , Μαουρίσιο , Μπίσεσβαρ , Ελ Καντουρί , Ζαμπά , Άκπομ , Μπαλογιάννης , Τζοβάρας, Τσιγγάρας So Balogiannis is a CM (unless Lucescu tries to shoehorn him into the fullback role again). Tzovaras is a forward (I think a striker), but I'm not sure which position Tsingaras plays. CM? DM? Either way, I doubt any will get more than a few minutes.

Yeah, we should have accepted the automatic loss and subsequent points deduction instead. AEK played theirs, right?

Ergotelis shouldn't be a problem. Keeping in mind our absences (Pelkas, Karelis, Pashalakis, Limnios, Prijovic, Tosca, Warda, Varela), here's who I'd play: --Rey-- --Matos--Kacheridi--Malezas--Crespo-- --Wernbloom--Shakhov-- --Jaba--Biseswar--El Kaddouri-- --Akpom-- I'd also be very happy to see Kitsiou get the start over Matos. Not sure who our youth team strikers are, perhaps they'd get a run (or a few minutes) as well?

So I think this is the full list of our first-team players, so far: Greece - Pelkas, Karelis, Pashalakis Loanees - Koulouris, Giannoulis Greece U21 - Limnios Loanees - Lamprou Other - Prijovic, Tosca, Warda, Varela Tons of our youth players are called up as well.

Good, about time they get all hot and bothered. Good results for us today. Is Oly still due a points deduction as well? Right now, the league is at: PAOK 26 Atromitos 24 Oly 20 Xanthi 18 (big loss for them yesterday) AEK 17 PAO 15

They're in their 10th minute of stoppage time? What happened?

Haha our loanees are on a rampage today!

0-0 at halftime, looking good so far

Haha Willyan has more than a little bit of mongrel in him. I can see us buying him in a few years. What a prick.

Yeah, our guys don't know how to allocate coverage when we outnumber them 4-1... Wernbloom warming up --edit-- sounds the coach has changed his mind, Kacheridi is warming up now

Goal Kamara, nicely done

Poor Shakhov though, he's had like six near goals today

Akpom's first (official) goal!!!

BTW I love how full the stadium is. Now, take off Prijo for Jaba

PRIJOGOAL!

Akpom in for Biseswar

Mauricio is warming up!

Mazurek is so shocked at the yellow card that he even had to pick up the ball again! Which is a totally normal reaction! Hahaha

Might have gotten a PK there, had VAR been in place...
