Warda's also been given the #7. I would have thought that would go to Rodrigues' replacement, but at least it goes to a winger this time.

San Jose still has a team?!

If we start with the same core next season, and win the playoffs this season, getting through at least one round of CL qualification is definitely possible. We just need to pray for the team to not implode over the next two or three months. We're almost at that time of year again after all.

Dropping like flies These guys are so afraid of Klaus that they would rather hurt themselves than go up against him.

We've still dropped too many points, but those stats (and bad performances) are more heavily weighted towards our atrocious October-November period...

He's good stuff. Cleaned out the trash, has us playing well, doesn't fly off the handle.

It looks like PAOK has made its final offer for Henrique (at or just above 1mm EUR). It sounds like a "take it or leave it." The player is still reportedly angling to move as well, and has long since agreed on terms. Theoretically, all he'd have to do is pass a medical exam once they agree and he'll be training within a day or two. Anyone think we'll actually get this guy? -edit- Reportedly Rennes is working on finalizing a transfer and has in fact agreed to our new offer.

Speaking of...

This was an interesting match. I don't think any of our CBs were particularly good this time around, but they were good enough (with help from the almighty Glykos) to keep the clean sheet. Mistakidis underperformed, and Campos was nearly invisible (I completely forgot that he was on the field for multiple long stretches). I thought Matos played well, and Klaus was surprisingly good - battling everyone, trying to set up the other forwards, etc. Shakhov and Cimirot both were decent, and I thought Charisis did pretty well as well. It's hard to tell how much of this was in spite of the atrocious field - but there are some good signs there. I have a feeling Ivic was completely satisfied with scoring once and then defending (else he wouldn't have subbed Koulouris in with like two minutes left). Worked out this time, but it could easily have gone wrong.

What a chode. How about you put a couple of euros towards hiring a grounds crew, brah

Ivic has some strong words about the field right now, this is great

And that's game. Hopefully in the future they won't try to fix their field with sand and water.

Canas will be the third sub (Shakhov?) -edit- it was for Cimirot

Campos was subbed out for Koulouris

Clearly not a PK, good call by the ref. In spite of the Giannina players/fans bitching about it for the next two minutes.

Charisis is coming on for him, assuming we don't have to sub out both of those defenders...

Feed is well and truly down now. I'd sub in Pereyra for Campos at half time. I think he's been somewhat invisible. Giannina are still dangerous, we need to score a few more to really finish off the game.

Wow GREAT save by Glykos on a 1-on-1

Just got the replay, nice poached/recovered goal by Leovac

Dammit JUST as the stream stops working

Their GK is going to have another career-defining game vs us today, I can just feel it

It looks almost like Verdun. Shakhov with a dangerous challenge, rightly carded.

^ MY BOY!

Hopefully better one will show up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm2TNzCht8U
