Question is who will feed him the ball for him to score. Same goes for Klaus. I noticed that on many occasions Rodrigues, Mak and Pelkas are too selfish to pass and instead make a bad attempt at goal.

They are not a bad team. They played very well against Borussia, and only lost to them with a late goal in Dortmund. We really needed to win yesterday, as I don't see us winning in Russia.

Some streams you have to pay for, but the PAOK games so far have been free.

Well hopefully they manage to clean up the trash that caused the team to end up in this position, so you can go back to be the good old Mitsos, when they come back to SL in two seasons. :D On a more serious note, I hope everything is cool with Evan.

Kace is out for more than a month and be greatly missed. Tudor will have to come up with some new midfield formation. I hope it's not a Tziolis/Sabo duo. I think he will sit Sabo out and give Charisis a chance. Vitor is also doubtful, so Malezas will most likely get another start. Here is my lineup: -------------------- Glykos ------------------ --- Costa ---- Malezas --- Tzavellas ---- Rodrigues - Tziolis - Charisis - Leovac --------------------- Jairo --------------------- ------ Berbatov --------------- Mak --------

I can confirm that the game will be available as a stream on Laola1.TV

The Berbatov signing was a Savvidis's wet dream. Let's hope it stops there and he does not do something foolish like bringing in Ronaldinho in January. Like you said Boston not all 10 signings will pan out. And you don't bring in 10 new players and expect instant results. Let's be patient. So far we are still in the middle of all three competitions. We already reached one of our minimum goals, which was making the group stage of Europa League. As far as I can see we can still easily finish top 3 in SL and go far in the cup.

Charisis is way more talented player than Korovesis. Now that Kace is out for month and a half, I am sure he will get a chance to prove himself.

it will not be on regular TV (Sport Plus, Antenna Satellite). PAE PAOK might make it available as a free stream on Laola TV like they did with the Olympiakos game.

Panathinaikos is using the appointment of Aretopoulos as the ref for this game to create climate before the game. Yes Aretopoulos is a lousy ref, and has no business calling a Superleague game, but Panathinaikos is not the only team he screwed in the past. PAOK has been on the receiving end as well in the past. Let's hope he's not a factor in the game for either team. Tudor did player rotation today looking ahead to this game. I think that was a smart move. Some of our players should be rested and ready to play on Sunday. Should be a good game to watch. We definitively need to win this one.

Of the two I think only Charisis showed that could fight for a starting position currently. The injury set him back and it will be tough for him to become a starter. Next week we have a cup game. I would expect some of those bench guys to get a chance to play.

Hi Jimmy. Nice to see you posting after a long time. Hopefully Aris makes it back to Superleague soon, so we have something to talk about.

0:0. Bad result. This means we have to win in Russia.

10 on 10 to finish the game.

Atrocious passing by PAOK players.

The first offensive threat we have on offense and Sabo completely F***s it up. We are just pathetic. This game smells of a 0:1 loss.

Berbatov in for Klaus. I still want to see Mak in the game.

Leovac in for injured Vitor

There are some selfish players on PAOK roster. Pelkas and Rodrigues being two of them. We are playing ok defensively, but have tough time creating anything on offense. We will need to take some more risks if we want to win this game. I would take out Skondras and Jairo. Switch Rodrigues to the right and put in Leovac and Mak. Also throw in Berbatov down the road.

Good result, but Qabala is not the team that we need to challenge for 2nd place. It's Krasnodar, and we need to beat them today, although I have bad feeling about this game. Hope I am wrong. This is the starting lineup: --------------- Glykos ------------------ --- Vitor ----- Costa ----- Malezas --- Skondras - Kace - Sabo - Rodrigues --------------- Pelkas -------------------- ------- Klaus ---------- Jairo ------------ It's raining in Thessaloniki, and it is expected that the fan turnout will be very low. Half an hour before kickoff there are around 2,000 fans in the stands. If we get 10,000, I will be surprised.

Well Tudor listened to everyone and will make several changes in the lineup. He also said today that Europa League is not as important as Superleague, so this is a good time do it. Apparently he will field this lineup: --------------- Glykos ------------------ --- Vitor ----- Costa ----- Malezas --- Skondras - Kace - Sabo - Rodrigues --------------- Pelkas -------------------- ------- Klaus ---------- Jairo ------------ He also announced the squad for the game:

Still don't see us reaching the number 12 position that really counts for the next 3 or 4 seasons. We already missed that milestone for next season and it will be tougher down the road. I actually prefer that we don't get an automatic spot in the group stage of CL anyway.

Another tough game in the very difficult sequence of 7 games in 21 days. Rotation will become a major factor in the next month or so. We always have a tough time against Panathinaikos at Toumba and this one will not be any different. We need to win so we can cut their lead in standings. As of now there is no TV coverage outside of Greece, Cyprus and Albania. They will probably let Laola TV show the game again.

Well Tudor's job got easier. Olsen got injured in practice and Glykos will start on Thursday. God help us. I still prefer Olsen over Glykos. Also it looks like there will be major rotation on Thursday as Tudor is thinking of fielding the following lineup: ---------------- Glykos ------------------ --- Vitor ---- Malezas ---- Skondras Rodrigues - Kace - Sabo - Leovac --------------- Pelkas -------------------- ------- Klaus ---------- Mak ------------ I see us having difficult time winning Thursday with the above lineup.
