This is the same goal as in the first page from here, right? I'd recognize that lucky shot from anywhere

Iraklis just drew vs AEK 2-2. Big result for Iraklis, and very helpful for us. Looks like Bakakis is going to be suspended for a game as well (two yellows), I think vs Olympiakos?

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.

Having seen you, there's definitely nothing to be jealous of.

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.

Too bad, probably our worst game since the year began. A point's a point, I guess.

For sure. Now multiple players down. Tough game.

Mistakidis about to come on, presumably for Campos.

Sultani again throwing his weight around, will never actually be carded

3-3 now

Klaus looks miserable as he walks off

Prijovic warming up

Leovac in for Deligiannidis, I don't know if we'll see Warda now - unless the next sub brings us into a 4-man defense.

Does Xanthi not have...ball boys? I noticed this last game as well. It's literally just fans crawling around tossing back balls

Good hustle by Charisis and Deligiannidis in the last few minutes. Sultani, meanwhile, fouls us like three times but the only time we hear a whistle is when he gets pressured.

On this one, you can change your zoom level, right-click on the stream, and select the "fit to screen" option - it helps a bit, but is not often an option.

Have we really played 36 games already this season? Wild.

I'm gonna plug uBlock Origin here as well. I used adblock for the last few years and it was great, but it's slowly started to let stuff creep through. This stream, btw, had no weird ads come up for me, just the X after the timer went away.

Did the sideline ref really not see that touch before it went out? Jeez.

Man, Biseswar looks SO much more fit than before. He actually just outran someone.

Haven't read anything yet but I'd imagine for three? Thanks for the link!

Looks like he went with the 3-5-2 after all. Nice to see Deligiannidis start. Not sure about Campos up the middle though

THEN GO BACK TO BED

Schalke beat Hertha Berlin 2-0 at home today. Unfortunately for us, Jans-Klaas Huntelaar made his first appearance in three months...although the game ended five seconds after he entered. Just our luck that he's back in action just as we play them.

Canas is out 2-3 weeks, will def miss this match, probably the rematch. Big hit for us.
