Dikefale11 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) AEK vs Saint-Etienne Date - Thursday, 4th August 2016 Venue - Athens Olympic Stadium (OAKA), Athens Competition - Europa League Round - Third Qualifying Round Time - 21:00 (Greece time) 2nd leg AGG (0-0) Edited August 1, 2016 by Dikefale11
Dikefale11 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Posted August 1, 2016 This is it, hopefully OAKA is full anything less than 50,000 will be disappointing. I'm expecting the same lineup as the first game with Almedia starting up front in place of Pekhart. 1 away goal for Saint Etienne means we will need 2 so just as crucial to keep a clean sheet as it is to get a goal. Our defense is still to concede a goal which is a bonus, need another big game from the titan Chyrgrinksiy.
Antaeus7 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Being absent from UEFA for 2 years, you should be able to draw at least 25,000 AEK fans to the stadium. Edited August 1, 2016 by Molon Lave
Original Sydney Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Big game for AEK and a big crowd expected also especially after seeing the lines for tickets overnight. Need to score early to settle as the longer it goes on scoreless the more pressure will build on us and STE know 1 goal will send them through, need to stay focused, dominate/control the game and give them nothing. I agree with Dikefale the same line up will probably start, unless Almeida is ready, if not I expect him and Pasticho to come in at some stage for us.
AEKAlex Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Second level is opening after the bottom has now sold out. And theres still a couple days to go. Definitely gonna be a great crowd. Would give anything for the chance to watch a European game again at the stadium.
Dikefale11 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I have terrible luck at European games, went to Sevilla and Omonia and we lost both..... Reports coming in close to 30,000 sold already. Also this game will be our 200th in Europe. Edited August 2, 2016 by Dikefale11
AEKAlex Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Haha, I was at both of those too. But then again I was also there for Milan and Benfica.
Dikefale11 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 I would have given my left nut to have been there for Milan! Johansson may be injured skipped training at OAKA today.
Original Sydney Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Good to see the fans getting behind the team, this was expected in all honesty, our first game back in Europe and now a real chance to progress. Reports say only 200 STE fans will be in OAKA. Hoping Johanssen is more precaution that he didn't train.
Damianos Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Can't wait!! It's 2 in the morning Perth time which is the worst, will still probably get up though. Johanssen has to play, he's crucial for our defence!!!
Original Sydney Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Good luck to you guys also Pana, would be good to have as many Greek teams in Europe!!
Original Sydney Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 We dropped to 15th overnight co-efficient so not getting better, this is why we need all Greek teams in Europe if not all as many as possible
AEKAlex Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Sounds like Johansson is in better shape now according to AEK365
AEKAlex Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Well it sounds like the whole bottom section is pretty much full, or the final bottom section gate is currently in the process of selling. So I'm thinking that should probably be somewhere between 20K and 30K? I never really figured out how many people the two tiers at OAKA hold.
Nikod Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) any hints as to the starting 11? Will Almeida feature? Also, where will the game be streaming? Am on vacation with gf (not a soccer fan) and want to make sure I have an iron clad rationale for getting out of whatever she has scheduled to watch the match. Edited August 3, 2016 by Nikod 1
Original Sydney Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Next time they shouldn't send Johanssen to Domatiaki kapios ton kolise me gastro hahaha glad he will be fine for the game. Amo you got tickets?
Original Sydney Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 You'll be right re, worst comes to worst swim there no sharks in Greek waters LOL.... Enjoy the game should be a big crowd and great atmosphere, just hope it doesn't get to players and make them nervous.
Dikefale11 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 Hopefully we get something close to or exceed this tomorrow;
Dikefale11 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) No Johansson in the endekada, F***. Chyrgrinskiy in his place next to Simoes. Lambropoulos in Chyrginsky's Bakasetas up front. Barbosa and Vargas on the wings. Mandalos #10 Edited August 4, 2016 by Dikefale11
AEKAlex Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 At least we still have some decent options on the bench. Would be an amazing time for Bakaseta to make a statement.
Dava-G Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 At OAKA now, Original is going off, getting pumped!! I am super jealous.
KingOtto Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 At OAKA now, Original is going off, getting pumped!! Enjoy the match!
