Lineup that I would field as well. I think Augusto is a better pick in this game. We are home and we are expected to dominate the game with offense. The only think that would worry me is that our left side would be exposed since Lambrou does not come back to defend. In yesterday's game Panathinaikos successfully exploited our weakness on that side. The Akpom/Swiderski dilemma is not that big in my opinion. I will say one thing. El Kaddouri is definitively missing from this team. Ever since he went down, the team has struggled.

pash before we close this thread we need to bring up the circus that took place in that game. Some clown dressed as Ivan Savvidis was handing out Russian currency to fans and tried to approach the PAOK B bench to give some to our players. He had a Ivan mask and a holster with a gun in it. Never mind the fact that the real Savvidis got punished for 3 years for carrying a gun inside Toumba. The team also got punished with big monetary fines as a result. Now we have some clown parading at Karaiskaki with a gun and nobody gives cares. Things get better though. The clown in question has an unmistakable likeness of an Olympiakos puppet from one of their farm teams. I can believe that Karypidis would be so stupid to attempt a stunt like this, but anything is possible.

You are right. The Aris game should have been a wake up call for Ferreira. Unfortunately he did not make any corrective measures. He got lucky to win the games against AEK, Lamia and Volos playing the same game. Panathinaikos came and applied the same strategy as Aris and basically beat us the same way. In both games the opponent did not really score with any creative plays. They just pressed forcing our player to make serious mistakes. It is these mistakes that we need to eliminate.

Let's see if the championship/cup winner team has any pride in themselves to come back from the disaster of the last 4 games to turn things around.

Yes he has time, but he needs players also. We have players over 30 years old (and some coming from serious injuries) in key positions. Panathinaikos today out ran us. They were beating us to the ball and we did not help ourselves with bad mistakes. Not sure we can last in the playoffs where we will play this kind o matches. There won't be any easy games. I want to see the player's reaction on Wednesday. Let's see if they have any pride left in themselves.

And to think we will play them twice in the next 10 days. Donis clearly outcoached Ferreira today. As yianko points there are issues within the team. Players yelling at each other after mistakes instead of playing with passion. Lucescu last season was able to bring the players together, something Ferreira can't do. Considering our record in derbies this season we are looking at elimination in the cup as well.

Ingason at fault for both goals.

Vieirinha needs to be subbed right away. Also all of PAO attacks are result of our poor passing and errors. We should be happy we are not losing. Also we should be happy Giannoulis did not get a red card in first half.

No goal. Hand ball.

You don't make mistakes like that with sends left in the game Giannouli.

That should have been a goal.

Don't like the lineup either. Hoping for a miracle.

Great display by the one and only true representative of Greek football. Completely destroyed Mbaougk and set the course straight to normality After all you can't have a team from Bulgaria or Turkey to keep winning titles. And if everything fails we will employ the government to pass laws in one night that will award the title to one and only team that deserves it: Olympiakos.

Missing Crespo will be a big blow. Specially in the playoffs. It is also evident that the absence of El Kaddouri has impacted our game. I like pash's lineup above. The only change I would make is not start Vierinha. I would put him in the 2nd half to lift the team. My surprise start would be Lambrou instead of Vieirinha. The only other change I could see is Augusto for Esiti.

One time special on Phantis PAOK forums. My prediction 4:0 for Olympiakos with two penalties in favor of the best team ever in Greece.

Non-biased media does not exist in Greece, but out of the many sites available out there it is the one that is more believable than others. They even have Aris reporters, and until recently we could even read the great Xrysanthos articles there.

Name the place and time.

AEK disposed of Tripoli and is the 8th team to make the quarterfinals. The four quarterfinal games next week are: PAOK - Panathinaikos PAS Lamia - Olympiakos Atromitos - Aris Panaitolikos - AEK

Crespo still not ready and will not play.

I'll go for a beer with you anywhere you want. That will give you a chance to explain to me O'Aris's transfer strategy all these years.

sport24.gr is one of the is sites controlled by Marinakis interests. He owes over 80% of the media in Greece. Makes things easier to brainwash people that way. Nobody invested Savidis's money in PAE Xanthi. Distant relative of Savidis's wife purchased a resort that is in the vicinity of PAE Xanthi's training facilities. According to EPO's dual ownership laws in the books currently that person could have directly purchased Xanthi without any consequences. The Mitsotakis government fearing backlash from PAOK fans and the electorate base in Northern Greece hurried to pass a new law replacing relegation with point deductions. Never mind that this law can't be enforced until the next season and unless UEFA/FIFA approves it. Anyway day by day events slowly shows how EEA came to their recommendations. PAE PAOK needs to directly push the case through EPO courts, and eventually to CAS if it goes that far. If there really is PAOK's involvement with Xanthi than the relegation punishment should stand. One thing I remember right before the start of the season was Marinakis talking to the Olympiakos players and telling them that Olympiakos will win this year's title at any cost. Now we know what he meant.

Reports are now out that Olympiakos lawyers as well as the press spokesman for Lefteris Avgenakis (Secretary of Sports) met with one of the EEA committee members late at night just few days before they made their ruling. I wonder what were they discussing. Maybe they were they just having tea. There is no doubt in my mind that Olympiakos along with the government and with the help of their puppet teams conspired to manipulate the EEA to falsely accuse PAOK and Xanthi.

Refereeing trio from Azerbaijan to call this game.
