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

Important 3 points especially considering Olympiakos dropped points here earlier in the season. Onto the next, we just need to keep ticking off the wins. Where are you guys reading/hearing about Crespo? I can't seem to find any articles

Will be a tricky game, it's always an arm wrestle against Panaitolikos especially at Agrinio. If it wasn't for Vieirinha's wonder strike last season who knows what would've happen. Lamprou is included in the squad again at the expense of Stoch (again) Πασχαλάκης , Ζίβκοβιτς , Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο , Ίνγκασον , Μάτος , Γιαννούλης , Βιεϊρίνια , Ντόουγκλας , Μαουρίσιο , Ελ Καντουρί , Μίσιτς , Εσίτι , Πέλκας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Λημνιός , Λάμπρου , Άκπομ , Σφιντέρσκι.

No idea how accurate this is as I can't find any news articles to confirm but according to Wikipedia (I may as well be making this up I know) We are playing Syria and Luxembourg in March. Also as per the Wikipedia page, we will be participating in the Kirin Cup a tournament held by Japan in June, we are set to play Japan on the 14th of June. Again I can't find a reliable source to back this up so who knows what's going on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece_national_football_team#2020

Another goal for him this morning in a 1-2 away win against Heerenven, he also apparently hit the post late in the game.(He played the full 90) The win takes Willem up to 3rd place on the table, they may end up in 4th by the end of the weekend depending on what PSV does.

Got his first minutes of the season this morning in the Europa League, a 2-2 draw with Standard Liege.

@Yiankos Do you know that 100% works? So I could wake up in the morning at 10am and watch the whole match replay without the score being shown to me? Because I emailed PAOK support a while ago asking if I can and they never got back to me. So I just assumed that it wasn't a possibility and you could only watch the game live.

Not sure if anyone saw this but Ajax were bundled out of the Champions league group stage this morning after losing 0-1 at home to Valencia, Ajax just needed a draw to go through but were knocked out despite picking up 10 points across the group stage. What really made me smile was that Valencia went down to 10 men in stoppage time when one of their players reacted to Tadic trying to drag him up for feigning injury and trying to waste time. The Valencia player then barely kissed Tadic and he hit the deck like he had been shot. Funny it didn't bother Tadic when he and his teammates were rolling around and diving like crazy in the 2nd leg against us when they had the lead, happy to see he Dusan in particular not get to qualify. They will probably go deep in the Europa league and maybe even win it, but karma comes around in football. I'm not still bitter though, I've moved on from that game 100%

As a fan living in Australia I can only speak for myself. I haven't bought the season subscription and probably won't. The simple reason is due to the time difference I probably watch every 3rd or 4th game live. With work and other commitments it's hard to get up at 2,3,4am to watch a match, so I can't justify spending close to $114 (Australian) for the season pass. When I can watch a home game I buy the match and if it's an away game I'll get a stream. I know the time difference with the US isn't as bad as with Australia we really get shafted here and rarely is a kickoff time at before 2am.

My god Greek football was a joke before when just Olympiakos was challenging for titles this is now beyond ridiculous. I literally can not comprehend how a professional football team can sit there and say the m*****es they say, just klama klama klama. Don't get me wrong we've been guilty of this in the past as well, but to this extent? Pulling reports out from thin air claiming Savvidis is running half the teams in the league? Are we sure these are grown ups who run that team? Not 9 year olds who are bitter they keep losing at FIFA? Like how scared and desperate are you? There fans remind us that they are the big club with all the titles, but they act like a small insignificant club who doing it's best to keep it's head above water. I guess Savvidis owns Tottenham, Bayern and Red star as well? No way the great Olympiakos could lose to all those teams fairly right? It's impossible. Most of this is down to Greek culture, we are never at fault. Someone has always ripped us off in whatever aspect. This is just a sad state of affairs and keeps driving myself at least further and further from Greek football who can be bothered? I watch English football and the Champions league, teams play, they win, they lose.

You feel like it's only a matter of time before Olympiako scores again, they are all over us we can not keep the ball to save ourselves, it's just attack after attack for them

Silly, silly challenge by Giannoulis. He has actually done a very good job on Podence so far but let us and himself down there, that was poor.

Say what you want, but for me El Kaddouri was very good that half. As he tends to do he stands out in the big games, some nice touches and just doesn't turn the ball over that is invaluable in games like this where the heat is on. His composure and link up play has been impressive too at times. Augousto on a yellow makes me nervous

We are looking the better team so far, let's keep it up there are more goals to be had here for us I feel.

You can see the injury here at 3:04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjebm_w76WI It looks innocuous, but those ones you can never tell. Fingers crossed it's a not an ACL injury.

Goes without saying huge game. The fact they dropped points on the weekend means a draw is a decent result. They aren't in great form (we aren't playing great football ourselves) With a trip to London midweek, fatigue has been an issue for them coming off a European game. No doubt they'll be fired up for this one though. As Yiankos points out there are a few question marks over starting spots, I think Ferreira will stick with what he's gone with the last few matches. I think Limnios will start instead of El Kaddouri (or maybe Vierinha but it's less likely IMO) as he is a hard worker who will work up and down for the whole 90 and that's something that is needed in these types of matches.
