Missing for this game: Leovac, Mistakidis (cards) Crespo, Canas (injuries) Brkic (illness) The 19 players called up: Γλύκος , Σιαμπάνης , Κίτσιου , Δεληγιαννίδης , Μάτος , Βαρέλα , Μαλεζάς , Πούγγουρας , Χαρίσης , Κάτσε , Σάκχοφ , Τσίμιροτ , Μπίσεσβαρ , Πέλκας , Ουάρντα , Κάμπος , Ενρίκε , Αθανασιάδης , Πρίγιοβιτς This is who I'd play. Not the A team, not the B team. We shouldn't need Biseswar to unlock Veroia, especially since Pelkas has been training normally since Monday. And surely by now Prijovic can play at least 60 minutes? --Glykos-- --Matos--Varela--Malezas--Deligiannidis-- --Kace--Pelkas--Shakhov-- --Campos--Prijovic--Henrique--

Atromitos just beat Xanthi 2-1. Gives us a bit more breathing room.

By how they've played in literally every other game?

Stand by it all you want. Others watch the games.

Good post. I think going into a home game against a very strong opponent hoping for a 0-0 draw is always predestined to fail. It's the wrong mentality. Let's keep in mind that a lot of our players - especially our defenders - have also been playing essentially nonstop. Our depth there is much thinner than in midfield and up top (even when injuries aren't an issue), and fatigue is becoming a problem. I think Ivic's conservative approach let us down this time, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt - I get why he chose his formation as he did, and frankly doing such a thing against another team that plays a 3-5-2 is logical as it ensures coverage of both of their forwards. As for Henrique - I think he should have played, but the fact that he had only played with the team like three or four times before that made the move harder in Ivic's mind. Although that mentality doesn't excuse why Warda was then thrown in there... I thought Mistakidis, at least, was wonderful. The guy might not have the dribbling abilities of Pelkas, but holy s%$#! can he move through defenders. If he doesn't get a call-up after this game, then Skibbe truly has lost his marbles. I also thought Leovac and Cimirot were good as well, although Cimirot was overwhelmed with their midfield. Probably had the toughest job on the pitch.

This PAOK team is considerably better than that one. Unless you think a midfield duo of Katsouranis and Tziolis is an unmatched dynamo of power?

Thanks for letting us know?

This doesn't seem like a B team to me. But I will say, utterly smashing Veroia will help the team's mentality after this big loss.

It's a game, not panties.

That's game. And people are setting off flares.

Hell of a long-range shot by Warda

And there's the third goal. Team has completely fallen apart.

Varela missing the next game too

Hahaha Warda in for Klaus - wtf?

Glykos sat there and watched that go in, didn't he. F*** me.

Campos must have just seen a bird he didn't like, and gone for the kill

Biseswar off

Henrique a much-needed change. But for who?

Cimirot has been running his ass off out there. I'd argue he's the one with no support.

Campos, honestly, is best when he has to jump at a random ball and fight like four people to get it. Nice attempt by him to grab us a corner.

I want Biseswar out of there. He holds the ball too long, doesn't move enough, and is planted about 20 yards farther back than he needs to be.

If both fullbacks are out, I can easily see Ivic playing Henrique and Mistakidis as wingbacks next game.

And now Matos loses the next game.

Are you kidding me...Campos in for Mistakidis?!?!

Mistakidis needs more support up front. I'd put Henrique in over Klaus.
