Fabiano didn't even TRY to hit the ball there...of course no card

The hesgoal stream has its audio like, five seconds ahead of the action. Very distracting haha

No need, you do it to yourself!

So two years ago Augusto was good, got it!

Here's the lineup. Looks like Soares is getting the start as a CM? Interesting to see Jaba starting as well. This is a very offensive-minded lineup.

Bro I was called up to represent Brazil in an Olympic squad back in my youth. It means nothing!

Didn't realize Augusto was linked with anyone. I still don't think he's good enough for PAOK, so I like the idea of selling him. https://inpaok.com/719585/epimenoun-gia-ntougklas-oi-vrazilianoi/

Sorry broceta ? For this game - this is on Sunday, right? (vs Saturday)

This could belong in more than one thread but I'll just put it here for now: https://inpaok.com/719546/protasi-gia-tesseris-ellines-vasikous-se-kathe-omada-tis-sl/ Not sure how this would even work?? Like, would coaches be barred from subbing those guys out after five minutes? I'm sure there would be plenty of ways to get around it, but honestly...we have a long history of buying bad foreign players just because we can.

Can't play Augusto up front and hope to have creativity. Push him back into Schwab's place and play Biseswar as a #10 next time. It's the only way to go!

That was...a pretty dumb yellow for the ref to give. Oh well, 0-1 loss is not the end of the world. These guys are beatable in the second leg.

Man that Mitrita-to-Zivkovic attempt was pretty solid

Yeah, Warda is very hands-off with underaged girls

Mihaj had one serious injury a year ago and it's all you can think about. El Kaddouri literally can't stay upright for more than a week at a time and you'd give him your firstborn.

It's a solid lineup, but I bet Biseswar will get the start somewhere.

Gotta be Crespo and Ingason paired up, right? Hopefully Crespo's got a new lease on life.

I agree. Gaitanidis is better than Murg. Lyratzis is better than Taylor. Who's that left-back we have in the B team? Keep him as the backup to Sidcley (or whoever we hire there). Boto's press conference heavily implied he thinks the same way. Take your most promising youth players, and throw them into harder competition to force them to grow. Only question is: will Lucescu actually play them? If the Esiti thing was actually a sale, then I'm even happier. Also, it looks like Ingason has renewed for the next three years? Solid.

Blackhawk, do you know if that promotion was for the rest of the season?

Yeah I bet he'll be gone this summer as well. It looks like the Esiti move is indeed a loan, with the Hungarians covering only a part of his salary.

It's your momma so yeah

Yes, he said: "He wants to stay. We want him to stay. We will have more news in two days." Then he confirmed Esiti was on his way out. The only people who he didn't want to comment on were Varela and Vieirinha (though he said "he knows what he wants to do" with Vieirinha). Oddly enough, he didn't mention Crespo?

Loving this endless press conference. His opinions on academies are gonna make some people angry haha

Here's his first press conference. Off to a good start.

Game wasn't bad. A shame it was played at 80% speed. But we controlled the situation well enough. Sidcley very good when he came on. Mitrita also was very dynamic. Crespo might have sealed he re-signing with that goal haha

Fantastic news!
