Oh my God F*** F*** F*** F*** F***

Limnios coming on next

Maybe they can sack Stanojevic a second time.

And now 2-0

Yellow to Cimirot, Campos is down. Pelkas needs to come in as an attacking mid.

And there's the goal

Henrique in, looks like we're moving to 4-4-2 -edit- is anyone else having trouble with this stream? only works five seconds at a time for me now

Just posted by the club:

It's chilly there, but not THAT chilly.

Halftime. Weak on our part, though I don't think these guys look all that threatening. I have a feeling Lucescu directed them to play it very safe.

Haha talk about gunshy - Rey was so sure he'd drawn another penalty there

Zenit scored early in their game vs Utrecht; 1-1 on aggregate at this point

Good to hear. If this commentator starts talking s%$#! about us, let us know so I can go over there and give him some Hellenic loving.

No surprise on the lineup, it's essentially the same as our first match: --Rey-- --Matos-Varela--Crespo--Leovac-- --Shakhov--Cimirot-- --Campos--Biseswar--Mak-- --Prijovic--

Whoa - is that a paid site? Or will it just start streaming for all? And welcome back, long time no see!

I can't see us not beating them easily. Should be a fun game.

Another name thrown in, because why not? Oscar Hiljemark, from Genoa. He's a 25 year old Swedish CM, intermittently called up to their NT. I'm a little confused by this one, as it looks like Genoa only bought him this year (though he played on loan there for the second half of last season). Seems he's not in their new coach's plans https://www.transfermarkt.com/oscar-hiljemark/profil/spieler/158810 Torres, btw, is "talking over his options" with his coach. I think Torres is the more important potential buy (though I'm skeptical about it actually happening), as we don't have a true DM to compete with/replace/be backup for Canas. For Hiljemark's position, we already have Shakhov, Cimirot, and Kace (though if either of those last two leave, we'll need the reinforcement).

Here's the lineup: Ρέι, Πασχαλάκης, Μάτος, Λέοβατς, Κωνσταντινίδης, Πούγγουρας, Βαρέλα, Κρέσπο, Μαλεζάς, Σάχοβ, Τσίμιροτ, Κάτσε, Μπίσεσβαρ, Πέλκας, Κάμπος, Ενρίκε, Λημνιός, Μακ, Πρίγιοβιτς, Κουλούρης I'd play this team: --Rey-- --Matos--Varela--Malezas--Leovac-- --Kace--Cimirot-- --Henrique--Biseswar--Mak-- --Prijovic-- I wouldn't mind seeing Koulouris, Konstantinidis, Pelkas in there as well. Our B team should be enough to seal the deal - one goal is pretty much all we need.

Ahh, Tzavella, you silly boy! http://www.sdna.gr/podosfairo/kosmos/article/365597/skandalo-ntopingk-me-emploki-megalon-onomaton-sto-moyntial-2010 I'm reading about betamethasone now...seems he was using it for muscle soreness. Or maybe he had dry skin.

His highlights reels haven't been particularly exciting but it seems he is relatively versatile. Transfermarkt lists him as an attacking midfielder but the Greek sites say he plays as a CM/RM. We really need another (at least) Biseswar-level creative player, so hopefully this works out.

Mak called up as well, unsurprisingly. Varela and Kace are probably next.

I figured El Kaddouri would wait until after we qualify to make his decision, but he's clearly on his way to Thessaloniki today. Might see it announced in the next day. As for the other names we've seen, I wouldn't expect them before next week.

Sounds like Leveque trained normally today; I think he should get the start vs Ostersunds on Thursday. Leovac needs the competition.

Agreed! Lucescu made a big mistake with Crespo. He was completely out of his element. Every time he went up to attack, he looked awful, awful, awful. The guy can't dribble, pass, or position himself as a RB. I think he was kept on, however, help the team defensively. Limnios has potential, but I think for now should be a sub. Deligiannidis and Mistakidis would have been perfect for this match.
