Definitively Sidcley for Vierinha, but it looks like Mihaj is coming in into the game for Crespo. Must be injury.

Vieirinha needs to be subbed asap. Lyratzis making mistakes, but also saved us on couple occasions. We are making it way too easy for them to get into our zone.

Too bad. We should have at least held on until halftime. I really don't see how we will keep them from scoring more goals.

1:1

Crespo 0:1

Looks like it's going to be a long night in Belgium. They are all over us. We can't keep any possession.

Starting lineup: ------------- Paschalakis ------------- Lyratzis - Ingason - Crespo - Vieirinha ------ Schwab ------ Tsiggaras ------ Murg -------- Augusto ------ Biseswar -------------- Akpom -----------------

2021 - 2022 Season: Round 25 (20.03.2022, 17:00 EET - Xanthi Arena, Xanthi) AO Xanthi - PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' TV: ERT 3 (Greece), ERT 3 - ERTFlix (worldwide)

I guess he did not call Lyratzis and Tsiggaras, so they can play for the U21 team. However it does not make sense as he called Kourfalidis instead of letting him play for U21.

With the absences of Kurtic, Zivkovic and El kaddouri, Lucescu's options are limited. Not sure I would start Vieirinha. I also think he will Start Murg over Mitrita.

I am sorry but calling Rota over Lyratzis is a very dumb move by the new coach. Same thing with Kourfalidis over Tsiggaras. There are some other choices that make no sense. No Giannoulis and Tzolis. The only good thing is that he did not call the two saboteurs Manolas and Papastathopoulos, apparently because they are tired. Keep those primadonas off the national team.

Apparenly it's covid that is plaguing El Kaddouri.

Hold on a second. Varela used his son as a negotiation tactic to get a new contract with PAOK. Apparently Varela Sr. demanded a new contract to keep Varela Jr. at PAOK.

Tzolis has been getting playing time with the Norwich U23 team, which kind of proves that he was not ready for the big time. At least in England they have patience and will help him develop into a better player. Since Norwich will be relegated, I think he will get more playing time in the lower division.

Soares should have been ejected from the game for second yellow. I think we will see the real Soares next season. As for Varela he is not coming back. Lucescu called in Koulierakis from the B team to replace Michailidis. Good move.

I would say more like 8 to 9 months. Six months is just to return to practices. It will take couple months to get back to some kind of playing shape. Look at Oliveira, eight months later and he has not played a game yet and we are talking about a similar injury.

Initially they said partial torn which would mean 6 weeks (basically rest of the season), but they think it's full tear according to the announcer on TV. MRI will clear things up.

Goaaaaal Akpom.

Michailidis torn ligaments. Season is over for him.

Poor first half. Our team is so slow. Not sure how we are going to score a goal. Can't rely on Kurtic all the time.
