Konstantelias misses an absolute SITTER from 6 yards away

This is such a weird game. Feels like a preseason game. Both teams with good chances and there should’ve already been 2-3 goals scored. But no one’s taking those chances.

Tissoudali great chance, off post

Meh game so far. Both teams with good chances. 26 min in

This wind is definitely affecting the game. 20 mph winds w/ gusts up to 40. Aris has the wind the 1st half, PAOK will get it in 2nd

They're different players with different strengths. Zivkovic is much better on the ball, as well as helping out defensively. Despodov is more of a play the ball over the top and let him run on player. I have watched him over and over dribble out of play. His touch is awful. I believe he plays CF a lot for Bulgaria, he is not a possession type of player and I think thats why Lucescu doesn't rate him as much. Despodov would be a star in a 2 striker formation, as you can pair him with a natural striker and let him just run

I 100% would play Mady. But I think Rasvan and his old 1800 mentality will play the Russian over him

Chalov Taison Konstantelias Zivkovic Ozdoev Schwab Baba Colley Kedziora Otto Kotarski

Hell, even a one goal loss is a decent result. First tiebreaker is GD, not head to head I believe.

Lol @ a professional league starting in the end of November

Crowd gave him a standing ovation! Then you see a kid with his hands in his face shaking his head lol

Complete domination of the ball for PAOK. Still seeking first goal.

We are playing well. But PAO is dangerous on the counter

We'd be watching that 3-3 PAOK - AJAX game where we missed a PK to win it which would have put us in UCL

Pelkas is good against offensive teams due to his ability to help out defensively. He has an extremely high motor that a lot of our NT coaches have valued. Bakasetas also will never sit. He is the captain. And I still think he has value. The team seems to be gelling, and I am sure he has a huge role to play in that.

That’s cute how you guys just have convos back and forth! But I just read that Despodov was on track to play at Zenit? But either we or he broke the deal. It was 5.5 mil

I think if we are going to progress in Europa League, we will spend big money in the winter. Look what Oly did in the conference league. Especially with the fact in Greece 2 teams will go to Champions League qualifiers next season.

He hasn't played 90 minutes since January....

Looks like the 35 year old CB Lovren is coming from Lyon

@pash come get your boy. Is this the garden dude from the other forums?

Norway's win last night added 9 points to their ranking. Here is the breakdown as of this minute : 22. Norway (1472) 23. Czechia (1464) 24. Slovenia (1462.97) ----------------------------- 25. Greece (1462.55) 26. Scotland (1462) Top 24 are first two seeds. We dropped due to Norway's win. If we win today, we gain 6 points. If we lose, we lose 9. Draw and we lose 1. So basically we NEED to win today to move up to 23rd.

I'd argue a loss is more of a worst case scenario, but what do I know

Before Paphos, he played for Aqua Hotel FC.... great

Ireland will battle and make it difficult, especially at home. But if we play to our capability, we are definitely the better team. We need to win to continue our push on possibly dethroning England from the top. Also, a win here pretty much solidifies 2nd place is ours unless we piss it away. That would be a huge help in possibly entering the WCQ playoffs.

As of this moment, we are currently in Pot 2 for WCQ. Go follow “football meets data” on Twitter and they’re always updating it. Looks like we need 3 more wins in NL to clinch pot 2
