There are worse stadiums to copy...does anyone know how our height restriction compares to Juventus Stadium's height? Wasn't able to find that stat online.
Can you imagine being this guy? To go from a journeyman GK to killing it with the best team in the country, setting records, and getting called up to the NT. I missed this during the game but that's him wiping away tears after our second goal.
Haven't heard anything about that. I'm not particularly impressed by him, but it would also leave us pretty thin back there...unless Tosca is really good at CB. I do think Malezas should be getting more time, though.
He has been so impressive this season. #1 in the league with 6 goals, also has one assist. In EL and the Cup, he has a goal apiece. For comparison, Prijovic has scored two more goals (but has played significantly more matches).
It's good that Aris looked as strong as they did. Helps pull the balance of power a bit more north than it has been in recent years. Same goes for the (presumably freak) OFI win.
Now if only Aris would play against the Athenian teams as hard as they do against us. Would really help us if they can grind a few points out of the other rivals.
What about Limnios makes you think he's not a winger? I don't see anything that separates him from the other players we have there, apart from his inexperience. It's not a terrible idea to put him as RB for emergency situations, but honestly Kitsiou *should* be better at defending.
Minor injuries were picked up by Vieirinha and Matos in the game vs Aris. Personally, I'd not risk Matos and would strongly consider starting Kitsiou as RB...
Normally I'd say we won't be doing a rotation, but the fact that we play Panathinaikos at home on the 29th makes me think we might. Here's my guess at the lineup:
--Pashalakis--
--Matos--Varela--Crespo--Tosca--
--Wernbloom--Shakhov--
--Limnios--Biseswar--Warda--
--Prijovic--
