Weird. Was Staf playing on the right side recently? I thought they had slid him in as CB for some reason (and obviously he's...a left-back). Been a while since I've bothered with that team.

I resisted as long as I could. I mentioned this guy in the winter thread. The Boto connection is likely playing a role in this rumor. At least he's young? https://inpaok.com/723347/prochora-gia-vitao-o-paok/ https://www.transfermarkt.us/vitao/profil/spieler/428783

Two more players with the 'rona (in addition to El Kaddouri, presumably). Perhaps some forced rotation after all.

At least one of the sites is saying that Minaj also is injured and so won't be used at all. Say it ain't so. If I see him on the bench while Varela starts I'm starting a forest fire damn it

We can force Greece into a revolution single-handedly, friend! Just keep winning, simple.

Crespo says in his post-game interview that it's a minor thing, and they just didn't want to risk aggravating it. What a step back it would be, calling up the one CB on the roster who did not improve as the year went on. Mihaj absolutely deserves to be starting. Even if we want to rest Ingason - isn't dropping the new kid into this kind of situation exactly what Boto said about pushing the youngsters? ?

So my assumption was shifted up by a year. D'oh!

Seems like our own fans aren't the only assholes out there: https://inpaok.com/723216/kindynevei-me-timoria-i-marseig/

Feels good to not be able to play vs either Roma or Leicester until the finals. Which we surely will ?

If the SL maintains its #15 ranking, the difference between 2nd and 3rd places becomes relevant again, right? I am all for trying the youngsters but only after we've locked down 2nd place.

Definitely feared the worst when I saw how much blood he had on him immediately after the hit

Same here. If not them, then Slavia just to have a chance to take Greece's coefficient in our own hands. Knowing our luck, we'll get Roma.

MIHAJJJJ LET'S f***ing GOOOOO

Vieirinha busted open

Terrible control and passing by Vieirinha today

I took it to mean Lyratzis was 100% going to start. I would not have thought Sastre was in danger of, like, fatigue though!

You're right, that was a stupid idea. We need some guy who is always injured and teetering on the edge of suspension.

Could this be our first transfer of the summer? Apparently was originally recruited by Boto himself. https://www.transfermarkt.com/vitao/profil/spieler/428783

I don't think Vieirinha should start, but I think he will. I wouldn't mind Murg. I think I'm the only person here who likes him haha

I don't think there will be many surprises in this lineup. --Pashalakis-- --Lyratzis--Ingason--Crespo--Vieirinha-- --Schwab--Tsiggaras-- --Mitrita--Augusto--Biseswar-- --Akpom-- I wonder why we write this as a 4-2-3-1 when it seems we play a 4-3-3 nowadays? Hmm...

You're 100% correct my sweet banana hammock

0-2 win for the kids

Not all that surprising. Lyratzis only recently started playing, and I think a new manager is more likely to give the more experienced guys a run. Hopefully that changes soon.

Not the most riveting game so far haha

Hahaha since when are the English preternaturally patient?? It's just a shame that we won't get that extra bonus money for them staying in the league.
