Prijogoal!!!!

Prijovic coming on for Koulouris

Koulouris converts the penalty, 3-0

PAO down to 10 men. Was that really a penalty? -edit- I see in the replay that it was a hand ball

I'm pretty sure Mauricio is injured. Shakhov should come on, IMO (though the original sub should have been Cimirot for Mauricio instead of Canas)

Canas coming off for Cimirot

Credit where it's due: perfectly done throw-in by Crespo as well

PELKAS YESSSS

We need to put the pressure back on in the second half. We gave them too many opportunities (which thankfully they couldn't capitalize on). I still think Crespo is the most out of place player on the field. Very little synergy with Mak.

Pelkas with the goal of the season!

Just tuning in now, PUMPED for this game. Pameeeee

Prijovic is in the squad: Ρέι , Πασχαλάκης , Μάτος , Δεληγιαννίδης , Μαλεζάς , Κρέσπο , Βαρέλα , Μαουρίσιο , Σάκχοφ , Κάνιας , Τσίμιροτ , Πέλκας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Κάμπος , Λημνιός , Μακ , Πρίγιοβιτς , Κουλούρης

Was Prijovic just with a sprained foot? I'm kind of worried that one or both of those players will be rushed back and risk a longer-term injury.

We're definitely going to get fines

It's very possible he'll make it. They did estimate 6-8 days, and this game is 8 days after his last one. Fingers crossed!!

I would love to get Stafylidis on a short term loan, as unlikely as it would be. I think that come next season, Giannoulis will be more than ready to take that starting position. Regarding Zambrano, all Lucescu has said is that "he's a PAOK player." So I guess we'll see.

If Hatzidiakos gets the impression he'll have a chance with the Dutch NT, he'll take them in a heartbeat. Sotiri is decent, but would not get a chance with our depth in that position.

So that's...good or bad?

Tziolis gets respect from coaches because he is even tempered, professional, and experienced. He seems like a nice guy, which is a BIG difference to players like Tzavellas and Maniatis. However, he eventually gets found out when clubs realize they can afford real players (note that Ivic's first order of business at PAOK once he had a say over transfers was to remove Tziolis). Sadly, he lacks both the skill and the speed to be useful in today's game. I'm told that he isn't even a starter at his current club; it should be a no brainer for him to be watching the games from home going forward. As for Skibbe, all we can do at this point is hope that he does learn from his mistakes. I'm just hoping that player managers are not making the decisions on who gets called up.

Confirmed today, 3.99

Figured it would be a good time to start this thread... Some rumors: Pelkas to Besiktas - Besiktas is reportedly interested in Fortounis, but his high price tag might make that a non starter. A backup option for them is Pelkas. Someone on another thread here in Phantis said they're considering a 5mm offer, though I haven't seen any source stating that. Guillaume Cros - currently plays in Germany's third division (Jena). I can't see this happening, though the news today says that several sites are linking him with us. Here's his stats page: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/guillaume-cros/profil/spieler/205521 Not sure if it's a rumor, but Zambrano apparently wants to go back to Russia. If he does leave, we'll surely keep Poungouras, though I hope we do find a loan for him regardless.

I agree. The only way I"d want to see Crespo on the outside edge, is if we're playing a 3-man defense. Considering that Xanthi is better than PAO, I'd like to see nearly the same lineup (assuming Prijovic is still out): --Pashalakis-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Deligiannidis-- --Mauricio--Cimirot-- --Limnios--Pelkas--Mak-- --Koulouris--

I agree that it doesn't make sense. His own actions belie his words. Makes me less likely to actually believe him.

I think earlier this season they charged more for one of the more important games, maybe one in the EL? But hopefully it is 2.99 or whatever.

Oh, my goatse impersonation? (please don't google that at work folks)
