You must be overjoyed! hahaha

Could be that he realizes this game will end up 0-4 in our favor regardless of his participation. Still not great to see. Blackhawk, noticing now the state of the pitch...good lord. Guys, you have one job...

Kind of surprised Nasberg is getting the start. Is today gonna give us a Zivkogoal?!

Wasn't he (Warda) without a squad for the first half of the season? I can totally see it. What if he becomes a bit roly-poly and ends up becoming the next Biseswar!

So much for riding the bench, Lyratzis is not in the squad listing. Wouldn't be shocking to see Kedziora play there over the next month.

My GOD, he's the same age as a car that rear-ended me a few months ago!

Lyratzis likely off to Asteras Tripolis, after he rides the bench one more time vs Panserraikos. Hopefully he comes back with a ton of minutes under his belt.

Rosier to head back to France, it seems: https://inpaok.com/804913/symfonia-besiktas-me-nis-gia-rozie-pic/ (a shame) Marcos Antonio may be heading to Flamengo after his loan here is up. Interestingly enough, I thought our buy-out was for 8mm, not the 6mm that is quoted here. Honestly, I can't imagine that we'd spend even that six million to get him permanently. https://inpaok.com/804916/thelei-ton-markos-antonio-i-flamengko/ -edit- and another late breaking bit of news, for a winger in the B team: https://inpaok.com/804952/pros-legkia-o-minas-vasileiadis/ (we could do worse than making some money off Legia imo)

If our Austrian friend is right that they aren't signing someone for the sake of depth, then it probably means negotiations for the impactful player hasn't gone well...

I noticed that on the app I use, as a "postponed" game. So much for us getting a rest, huh? Bizarre, either way. Why are we a game ahead of everyone? Clearly something happened, but I can't for the life of me remember.

No reason we shouldn't already be up 3-0. Hopefully Lucescu works his magic in the locker room 👄

Olympiakos gets away with a win vs Kifisia. Both teams managed to end the game with ten men. Olympiakos's red was for Retsos, which is great for us. AEK-PAO starting at the same time as our match, I guess hope for a draw there...

Happy, Dutchie? Sheesh!

I agree that we don't need more depth, really. Especially at right back. We need someone who is at least as good as Rahman. By the way, the Rosier rumors are picking up again (Turks are claiming we might take him on loan this time). I liked what I saw of his highlights, might be just what we need... And yeah agreed that Kaschuk seems more like a prospect than someone who will actually compete to start. But again, why? Unless, perhaps, they want to move on from Murg next season and and to give this guy the chance to get over the "Lucescu flu" (where a player takes like half a season to get used to playing for him).

If they can be used as a space for reclamation projects, more power to them! Imagine how cheap these players must be. Hopefully Garcia keeps them in the division (looking pretty good so far).

Inpaok predicting that Baba, Koulierakis, Tzimas(!), Taison and Ozdoev will start this match. Not a ton of surprises there, except the big one.

Not sure why media is so sure we're going for Oleksiy Kaschuk. He's another left footed winger who plays inverted (i.e., on the right). Is this really a need? https://www.transfermarkt.us/oleksiy-kashchuk/profil/spieler/404849 https://inpaok.com/804493/kastsouk-se-exelixi-oi-diapragmatefseis/

Thanks for spelling this out - I was trying to figure out the progression using the wiki and got an instant headache. I agree that we want Olympiakos to win, in this case. A shame Panathinaikos just tied it (17 minutes still to play). We SHOULD make it to the semis without much of a problem. Who knows, maybe Larissa will go on a rampage and we'll meet them!

For the cup: AEK-ARIS is trending towards a 0-0 and the PAO-OLY game is about to start. Both of these are the first leg of their respective ties, so progression will be decided on the 17th. With that said, who would we rather see win? I'd love to see AEK lose here, but there might be some value in having them tired for the semifinal. Obviously we have a big advantage in progression. Olympiakos also clearly the weaker side in the other match-up, but same logic applies...

It's a shame that we exist to make Garcia's life worse 😞

Gorgeous, calm, slow-motion goal haha

I thought that was widely anticipated anyway? Anyway, starting lineup is available and Antonio starts in the #10 position (though this is probably going to be more of a 4-3-3, methinks). I'm surprised that Lyratzis didn't make it in as backup, but perhaps Kedziora will move over if Sastre needs to come off. Poor Tzimas, kid will never get a start.

Womp, womp Saw some talking heads online were saying the Lyratzis loan is being re-thought...perhaps because of this? Who knows. I'm sure they'll misuse him either way!

Damn it, that's what I get for putting money on him scoring a goal. Probably just being rested after playing a few days ago, if I had to guess...

Imagine how much Prijovic would have feasted, with those fantastic Despodov crosses 😍 But yeah, this team this season is going to be amazing. It feels a lot like it did in 18/19. The team needs to announce Lucescu's extension and at least a RB SOON, though!
