Var overturns the offside given on Pelkas and goal! 2-0!

Good chance to start Lamprou, he is more suited to these types of games where we will dominate possession and he can probably get away with not tracking as much as he would need to against one of the top teams. Seems the stars are alligning with Biesewar, El Kaddouri still out and Vieirinha dropping to left back, seems like its between him and Stoch and there is no way Stoch starts

Fetfa is jealous of the sidestep ukwork just pulled off stepping around all of the facts Yiankos dropped

Although it was basically a dead rubber one thing that has come out of this game is something we have all long suspected that Lamprou can offer us something even if it's off the bench. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't get mins especially if we are chasing a game, interesting to see if we hang on to him and if Ferreira gives him more game time moving forward.

You know what they say, a 6-1 aggregate lead is the most dangerous score in football

Lamprou's goal was spectacular!! Great determination and a great finish

I'm wondering if Lamia are going to crucify and sack their keeper again like they did to Vellidis after our game. He copped 4 goals, Vellidis was chased out for only conceding three! It must be over him, or are Olympiacos and Lamia good old friend and "Ela mwre twra, ta efage to palikari ti na kanoume twra?"

Mavropanos is on the verge of moving to Nuremberg on loan for the rest of the season. They are currently fighting for their lives in Germany's second division as they are third last and in a relegation playoff spot. Would've been better to see him move to a club in the top tier somewhere, but I guess any minutes are good at this stage. https://www.sport24.gr/football/EllinesExoterikou/konta-se-nyremvergh-o-mayropanos.5668128.html

You're backing in Zivkovic blackhawk? I think Paschalakis will get a run between the posts after Zivko's last few weeks, he never looked safe. He did keep those clean sheets but he never turned in a Paschalakis-esque performance where he kept us in a match. I think the clean sheets had more to do with the team getting to know Ferreira's system and tactics. I too would like Akpom to start, but given he started midweek in Crete I think Swiderski will get the nod to lead the line.

5 derbies for zero wins so far this season, fair to say this is a must win. Just to clear the mental hurdle of winning a derby. It's alarming that except for the match against Olympiakos we've conceded at least 2 goals in all other derbies so far this season a clean sheet would be massive. I think unless he has a disaster against OFI in the cup, Paschalakis will be reinstated in goals for this one. AEK's new Italian coach loves his defense and will no doubt come and shut up shop and try and hit us on the break, I think we maybe be in for a difficult evening where patience will be key.

So so sloppy, poor touches, turning over the ball constantly, zero cohesion. Aris look hungrier and more willing to get to 2nd and 3rd balls.

Players looks slow and off the pace, can't deal with Aris pressing especially Matos and Limnios. No point standing around get Akpom and Biseswar on the pitch and try turn it around

Nervous about this one, this is the game that Aris lives for they'll come out all guns blazing to take points off us. If our defense remains solid as it has been for the last 7-8 games then I think we'll get the win, if Aris manage to take the lead, well we all remember the first game in Toumba where about 20 minutes of football was played. Of course our Yellow and black friends will have you believe 7 mins of stoppage time was to allow us to equalise but hey let's not let the truth get in the way of a good parnga story.

Scored in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Manchester united, it was their first home league win since October!!

How much better do you think we can get? We have to keep in mind we are playing in Greece, we aren't going to get a superstar to come across. This is a guy who game at 26-27 who was a Serie A starter. For Greece I'd say that's a pretty decent signing. He has something that is incredibly important, discipline. It's the reason Lamprou doesn't get a game, it's the question mark over Jaba's game and the same with Stoch. Why do you think Limnios plays? Now I know you can't have a team full of hard workers with no flair and minimal attacking ability but I'm just not in a huge hurry to get him out the door. I don't want El Kaddouri starting on the wing against Atromitos, Lamia etc that's when he looks poor. In the big games he stands up and is more suited to those types of games and for me that's a sign of a good player.

I must be the only one who rates poor old Omar. He isn't flashy but he is an all round solid player. Hard working, completes passes, has good touch/control and he moves to the right places. He's not going to beat 3 players and score a goal of the season contender but I would be happy to keep him around. He is the type of player you want in big games as he usually makes the right decision and can draw a foul to take the heat off. And he is usually one of our better players in derbies and European matches.

He was okay, the games tempo had completely dropped when he came on but he defended well on a few occasions and obviously provided the assist for Misic's goal. But hard to gauge him on 30 mins in a game where we were 4-1 one up when he came on.

And he has an effort cleared off the line, it has the feeling that he'll score. Looks like Vierinha has gone into the middle to play as a dekari with Lamprou out on the left and Pelkas on the right

A Zivokovic mistake had been coming and there it is

Our friends from Pireaus are gonna love that one

We are taking the piss from set pieces today. Ingason for a hat-trick!! 3-0

Swiderski had no idea what was going on there? Ingason can't stop scoring

Olympiakos want the game replayed because the goal they scored was disallowed (even though it was onside) There are 2 ways I can take this debate on. Number one and the unbiased view is: The fact that VAR has been implemented without the technology to produce the line to assist with offsides is a joke. How can the broadcaster have this line, yet the people making the make or break decision need to make a call of inches based on the naked eye? Just another example of incompetence in our country. (But since when were the gavori unbiased) 2: (and what will probably be the favoured view in here) Ahhhhh kala htane otan o Katsouranis htane offside?? Olympiakos is being beaten at their own game and they can't take it. Kala na pathoune for all the years of dictatorship we (and the other clubs) played under.

Damn, Akpom had hit some form, disappointing to see him miss. Perhaps there is a slight chance we see Lamprou with Chuba out, if things aren't going well he's probably the one of all the wingers who is most suited to playing as a striker next to Swiderski. It is unlikely but it would be good to see him as I think in January he's gone (loaned)

Nice little interview with JVS. He comes across as a humble and nice guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=596&v=JjHs2rI0XrE&feature=emb_title
