Ivic apparently came to the stadium, saw how miserable the field was, and decided at that point to switch to the 3-5-2.

Congratulations to everyone except Bananas.

Giannoulis on his way to Cyprus today, looks like the loan discussion ended positively. Good move for him.

Good result, exactly as Blackhawk hoped for. Should give us a chance to rest some players in the next leg.

Getting cocky...Mistakidis tries a nutmeg across half of the field, nearly gets back to the ball too.

I completely missed it, what caused the penalty? Last thing I saw was Shakhov battling on the sideline

The way this has been going, I won't feel safe until we're 3 up. So I probably will never feel safe.

GOAL KITSIOU!

Maybe his worst free kick ever

A phrase I have very, very rarely heard

Kace coming on for Pelkas

Intermittently laggy for me, but is working

Kace, Pereyra, and Canas warming up.

If it works out in our favor, I'll take it.

Horrible first half. Had a few chances after the 40 minute mark, but all around garbage.

Near goal by Panaitolikos off of a setpiece, after Kitsiou lays out one of their players.

Pelkas manages to nutmeg one guy, then immediately crash into another, losing possession. Story of his career. I believe it was Ivic's first-ever match as coach, wasn't it?

Maybe while saying "this is a very impressingk formation" Stream hasn't started yet on laola, at least for me

Here's their pretty screenshot. I'm fine with this lineup. And finally, Mistakidis playing in the center.

As a somewhat more general question - is the agent getting such a cut for this deal because he helped Arnesen with getting Rodrigues essentially free? In other words, is this why we managed to snag him instead of a club in a more prestigious league?

It seems Konopliyanka has been playing more often lately. Bad for us that he's no longer on the outs with their manager.

Here are the 19 players that were chosen. Kace makes his return, Brkic, Campos and Matos are not in the team. Γλύκος, Σιαμπάνης, Λέοβατς, Κίτσιου, Δεληγιαννίδης, Μαλεζάς, Βαρέλα, Κρέσπο, Κάτσε, Κάνιας, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Δημητριάδης, Μυστακίδης, Αθανασιάδης, Περέιρα, Κουλούρης. This is the team I want to see play. Shakhov hasn't been getting much time and is probably genetically predisposed to frolicking in the snow...and I feel one of Canas or Cimirot should be rested. Pereyra is the only striker we have who knows how to get goals, and is the obvious choice. --Glykos-- --Kitsiou--Varela--Crespo--Leovac-- --Cimirot--Shakhov-- --Mistakidis--Biseswar--Pelkas-- --Pereyra--

Lotta options there ;) http://www.transfermarkt.com/you-first-sports/beraterfirma/berater/1406

Another rumored name as a replacement for Rodrigues. Transfermarkt lists him as a right midfielder http://www.transfermarkt.com/sergio-oliveira/profil/spieler/112465 Here's a highlights reel. It looks like he does play pretty much everywhere, at least judging by these clips. Personally, I think he's one of the "two or three" signings they were talking about *before* Rodrigues left. In other words, someone to compete with Biseswar.

So in other words, we'll get like four more midfielders. I'm looking at you, Ndoye
