The only thing I really know about Mauricio is that he's a #6 (damn you Leveque for taking that number), so he'd give that extra competition for Canas that you mention. Also unsure about El Khaddouri - he's sold as a #10 but also as a standard midfielder. I guess we'll see soon - he'll likely get minutes during the next match day. In fact, I'd be surprised if he didn't play in our friendly vs Volos.

True, if he takes the Xanthi philosophy and tries to apply it to us, we'll have problems. We will be expected to attack much, much, much more than Xanthi ever was.

Personally, I only want a CB if he's a big improvement over what we have. If we're getting a rotation player, then I want to see Poungouras get time. The kid has potential, which will never be realized if he's constantly superseded by average-quality players.

Mauricio set to be in Thessaloniki on the 29th to complete his signing. Wants the #8.

Perhaps most worryingly, the team looked gassed well before the first half was over. Fitness is a big problem here. I also got the impression that until the first goal, they were playing very disinterestedly - really no better than in the game-that-shall-not-be-mentioned. It's only because Kerkyra is of such a low standard that we were able to get this win. A team like Xanthi or Panionios would have broken us in half.

The story's not just in the stats!

If we kept him, he'd be getting no time!

AEK stumbled today as well, which is great for us. If only Oly would drop some points. Current top 6: Oly - 6 Panionios - 6 AEK - 4 Giannina - 4 PAOK - 4 Xanthi - 4 Xanthi and Oly play each other next match day.

Did it get accepted? I credit Michel with most of our successes for these past two years. It would be a horrible mistake to let him go. If anything, Savvidis should take another step back and let him run things as he sees fit.

Not as far as I can see?

The lord giveth, and the lord taketh away

That's game. Team needs a lot of work. PAO (10 men) is currently 0-0 vs Levadiakos at home Panionios is beating Apollon Smirnis 2-0 at home AEK about to start away vs Giannina

Looks like Koulouris on for Prijovic

This is exactly the kind of game where we should be playing the younger guys. Poungouras came on for Leveque, btw, with Crespo moving to LB. I still think Crespo as a fullback is an awful idea.

Goal Mak! Left completely unmarked, easy as pie

Mak's about to come on. Biseswar also warming up. And I think I just heard that El Kaddouri is warming up as well.

Goal Pelkas!

It will take time to rebuild this team's confidence. One step at a time. On the plus side, Leveque and Limnios look pretty good. Campos very dangerous as well.

Shakhov shoves Nunes, penalty for AOK

Malezas bleeding from the nose from the play where Prijovic scored, looks like Poungouras is warming up. Not sure if he'll actually be used as Malezas is changing jerseys (which implies they'll put him back in).

Haha and as soon as I type that, Prijovic scores

AOK is trying their best to gift us this game, and we're trying our best to return to sender

Leveque might be hurt again

Nice pass by Pelkas/attempt by Limnios, for a corner

I was wondering what happened to that rumor. Would be a good pickup. Would also signify that Torres said no to us.
