  1. Fortunately, he doesn't need to. As long as he feeds the others and can control the pace of the game, I'll take him.

    These guys have another writeup of possibilities: http://www.protothema.gr/sports/article/654137/ta-shedia-tou-ivits-gia-to-mats-tou-paok-kodra-sti-salke/

    It's pretty much in line with what I hoped for above. I really dont' want Campos to get the nod ahead of Mistakidis - #27 has earned this over the past month. I also think Henrique needs to get the start on the left side. It's notable but not surprising that Warda is unlikely to see game time; we probably have to wait until Veroia until our first glimpse of him.

    Crespo/Varela is the best pair to start there (we'll need Crespo's speed and Varela's strength against their guys), and I still very much hope we don't start with a 3-CB defense. IF, somehow, we get ahead...then sure, throw in the extra defenders and park the bus. I think playing for a 0-0 draw is setting ourselves up to fail.

  2. I watched that match as well, they were very good. But Schalke has been all over the place this season. We're better than we were with Huub, and they aren't any better than they were then. And of course, this time we have a sold-out Toumba. My only immediate concerns for our lineup are how tired Varela might be, and how Klaus will play (especially with Henrique, who I'm going to assume he has little to no experience with).

     

    We should also keep in mind all four players in our back line are sitting on two yellows. Any yellows in this match means we'll have to rotate...and possibly heavily.

  3. My big concern here is that either our B team is worse than I thought, or fatigue is really starting to hit us.  Veroia and Iraklis should be games where we can rest at least some players, and I guess we can rely on Prijovic/Warda/Henrique to be rested enough for them...but we're going to look pretty thin in most positions. And we're not even half through with the below schedule.

    Thankfully Pelkas will be training normally again starting on Monday, so at least the pressure on Biseswar should be relieved.
