Koulouris goes on loan to Anorthosis. Finally. Should have happened last year.

Apparently a screwup by Olsen. We were then denied a penalty due to handball (done by Berios) -edit- goal viewable here: http://www.novasports.gr/match-center/match-center-agonas/match/172/pas-giannina-paok/

Already down 1-0. Big surprise.

I do not like this back line at all: Olsen Vitor Tziolis Costa Konstantinidis Kace Sabo Leovac Jairo Pelkas Mak Does ant1 Pacific usually result in streams? I hope so.

Looks like we might be trying to swap Marica for Pereyra

:(

Are there any online calculators or spreadsheets we can fiddle with? Below shows a rundown of how many points have been gained. Greece at 19th, just under the mighty Cyprus. Switzerland has only snagged 1.3 points towards their rating (if I'm reading this right), we might just be able to leapfrog them. I guess we have to hope for Olympiakos to make it to the round of 13, and one of the EL teams to get out of their group. http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/ccoef2016.html

We were really hurting without him last match, we should def play him. I'm guessing Klaus is just not match fit, and not injured again? Any idea as to how Charisis is doing?

Qose is going on loan to Panserraikos for the season, same as Papadopoulos. Hopefully he does well there. Lots of good bougatsa in Serres.

Didn't think about it that way...

Don't worry, after a few days you're able to sit comfortably again.

I have no opinions of any sort.

It's looking like Golasa really is back. PAOK24 is calling it a "second chance" after discussions between his agent and Arnesen/Jackie-boy. Good on him, I thought he was a decent option who didn't get enough chances. http://www.paok24.com/podosfairo/50562/deuteri-eukairia-tountor-se-gkolasa

Welcome (back)!!

I have repeatedly told you to cut it off. But noooo

We'll be too tired to fight back from so many European matches.

Here's the schedule. December 10th might actually be doable for me...eeek!

Correct, he's currently injured.

You're right, our team *always* wants to play in Europe. Which is a positive thing, of course. I'll repeat what I said in the other match thread (because I love hearing myself talk) - Tudor is, I think, going to much more capable of tackling these international teams than he will with the leoforeia he'll be encountering here. I hope he relishes the chance to go up against Dortmund in particular. Toumba's going to be absolutely rocking for this, though.

Two seasons ago, we had a great two matches vs Schalke. If our guys play without fear and with at least a little belief, we'll have a great few matches. Realistically, if we grab even a point out of either match, it might be enough to bring us to the second round. A note - once the transfer window ends, this is it for us. Tudor needs to be ready for these matches. These are the only chance he'll get to play interesting games vs opposition that wants to actually play ball. I'd go so far as to say he should have the opposite mentality of PAO, who seems to hate the idea of playing in Europe.

Looks like Boakye might be tenuous - his club is asking for more money. It would be amateurish of us to break the bank on someone who was probably our fourth choice - I say Arnesen work on signing someone who'll make an impact in December. Start playing Klaus paired with Koulouris, mix in Jairo every few matches to rest one of them. Simple. We're not winning the league, after all.

I think he's currently still injured, the timing is pretty unfortunate

And we'll smash them.

If I may? --Karnezis-- --Papastathopoulos--Papadopoulos--Manolas-- --Kitsiou--Tachtsidis--Samaris--Holebas-- --Fortounis-- --Karelis--Mitroglou-- I've been against a 3-CB back line for a while, but Tudor has convinced me with PAOK - especially if Holebas doesn't have to defend as much.
