Pelkas will return before El Kaddouri does. I think it was 4 days before he could train, then two weeks before he could play? Expect him to wear this for a while. Thank goodness his number is on it, else he wouldn't know it was his.

Lucescu doesn't roll the dice from what I've seen...this is what I expect: --Pashalakis-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Vieirinha-- --Mauricio--Canas-- --Campos--Biseswar--Mak-- --Prijovic-- We have more than enough firepower to do the job. Of note is that El Kaddouri is out for 2-3 weeks, so if something happens to Biseswar, expect to see us play with a second striker for a while.

El Kaddouri is confirmed out for 2-3 weeks

Kace officially not going to APOEL. Might end up at Giannina or maybe more likely at PAO.

Sounds like there might be some changes for this next year - there was a proposal no home/away matches for the rounds of 16 and quarter finals (with the big clubs being the away team). The point being, to reduce the number of matches the teams play in a season.

Looks like at this point, Khacheridi has orally agreed to join us when he becomes a free agent; the club is also attempting to get him for a fair price now. I'd be more than fine with waiting until summer for him.

This is a big game, followed by two weeks of easier matches (before we meet Olympiakos at home). I'm sure we'll see a few purposeful yellows so suspensions can be served (and players rested) against Lamia. As noted in other threads, Oly/AEK play each other later the same day. Should be an eventful five or six hours.

AEK-Oly play on the fourth and again on the seventh. Surely we'll see some red cards, which will only help us.

Oly-AEK play each other next week. So regardless of result, if we win vs Giannina, we will start to build a lead against one of our rivals. The big difference with this game was that Panaitolikos played very well for much of the game. They were very motivated; much more so than most of the teams we've faced this year.

Just watched the last 20 minutes of Asteras-Oly. We were gifted with a draw. Didn't see Oly's PK, but I'm sure it was 100% more legit than ours.

And that's game! A real nail biter. We improved from 40' onwards, should have been better. Hopefully El Kaddouri is relegated to a substitute going forward.

Oh, I thought you meant it wasn't an actual penalty

Maybe a little harsh, but he did grab and drag Varela by the shirt...

Penalty!

Shakhov on for Canas, confirmed - good change IMO

Michel kicked off the field. I read earlier that there were some issues between the home fans and him/Lucescu during the initial warmups.

So let me get this straight - Rosa couldn't put his shoe on, so he pretended to be injured to break up the play? Got it.

Wow, nearly in by Biseswar....corner for us

Azevedo is warming up. Could we be seeing him come on with Vieirinha at RW?

Goes without saying! Campos has, to my recollection, played well on the left only once.

I think Mak needs to come on for Limnios, who has been invisible. Maybe Shakhov for Mauricio, as well.

Campos misses a point-blank attempt

For F***'s sake, El Kaddouri hurt again.

Tell me again baby

This one works, bad quality: http://firstrowsportes.net/soccer/panetolikos-paok-krk5957a4?l=1229263860
