Shouldn't make a difference...technically any such agreement was definitively banned by UEFA in the build-up to that Chelsea-Atletico Madrid final a few years back. Any agreement we have would be handshake-only and completely unenforceable. https://www.joe.ie/sport/uefa-step-in-to-ensure-courtois-can-play-against-chelsea-after-all-423456 Personally I say let them play. Who cares. There's a reason they're loaned out and not in our first (or second, or third) squads.

The same thing happened last season with #GM27. He didn't start, but came on very early when they had an injury. Meanwhile, Warda did not play against us a few weeks later. -edit- Actually - isn't Koulouris going to be suspended for this game anyway?

A win here will be very important, though a draw will keep us in first place. There is no reason we can't crush them.

Great to see them respond to their last game's performance. Limnios great from the moment he went on. Wernbloom was quite good today (same with Matos and Canas). Jaba notably improved as the game progressed. Warda also looked good, he REALLY needs to get more playing time. El Kaddouri improved as well.

Is this Kace's first time playing against us?

GOAL LIMNIOS

Oh my God Jaba, hahahaha

Pelkas coming off, El Kaddouri on

Second offside goal. Hopefully bodes well for how many more attempts we'll have

Took me about 15 minutes but eventually it started working

I figured as much. Show up vs us, coast vs everyone else

Mistakidis just scored his first goal of the season, vs Xanthi

October 28, 2018 - easy as pie. There's an entire generation of people here in New England who just have no idea what misery is...

Looks like the only real difference between my lineup and inPAOK's prediction is that Biseswar and Pelkas will both play (Warda starting on the bench). I really think that by now, Warda's earned a starting position a few times...

Haha okay chief. Do you feel that preordaining a rival's victory as illegitimate will soften the inevitable blow? Whoever wins the title this year, will still beat out Panathinaikos by more than three points...and the version of you who was posting two days ago seemed to agree.

For sure. If Tzavellas and Tziolis bow out, our team instantly gets better AND more united.

Yeah, paper champions. Our victory would be illegitimate.

Tailor made to shoot us in the foot. So we'd be looking at something like this? --Rey-- --Matos--Kacheridi--Crespo--Vieirinha-- --Wernbloom--Canas-- --Jaba--Biseswar--El Kaddouri-- --Akpom-- I'd assume Limnios MIGHT be called up, as would Karelis. It leaves us very thin on the wings. Perhaps if we run out of wingers completely, Kitsiou would be pushed up there (or Vieirinha, with Malezas starting as CB?). I don't think any of our youth players should be trusted for a game that we basically have to win.

Reports are that some players didn't want him. Hopefully that means most of the team refuses call ups, we'll get a completely clean slate.

As long as I don't see El Kaddouri stinking up the wing, I'll be happy.

I play my games on a graphing calculator.

Unfortunately, El Kaddouri has EU citizenship, so choosing between the two wasn't in the cards. El Kaddouri isn't much of a winger, and is definitely not a playmaker. Plays well once in a while, but frankly we should sell him if Chievo's serious about wanting him.

My lineup for this match: --Pashalakis-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Vieirinha-- --Canas--Wernbloom-- --Jaba--Biseswar--Warda-- --Prijovic-- Smash these turds between our toes, just like in the weird videos Bananas likes.

Jaba should have come on, but I figured Lucescu was saving him for Panathinaikos. For me, El Kaddouri was absolutely tragic. I'm blown away that he wasn't subbed off. Pelkas was our biggest threat (esp in the first half), but he wasn't that good either.

Restrictions on number of foreigners, due to Jaba
