Asteras are below par by their standards of recent years.  Their away record is quite awful at 1 win - 1 draw - 7 losses.  Now that I've said that and got it out of the way I'm sure I've just cursed the team.

[Dutch Eagle]

Ivic selected the following players:

Γλύκος , Μπρκιτς , Λέοβατς , Μάτος , Κίτσιου , Δεληγιαννίδης , Μαλεζάς , Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο , Κάνιας , Χαρίσης , Κάτσε , Σάκχοφ , Τσίμιροτ , Μπίσεσβαρ , Μυστακίδης , Ενρίκε , Πρίγιοβιτς , Κουλούρη.

I'm actually going watch this one. I have a date with a lovely Italian in the evening so it fits in perfectly. We have been playing fantastic football and if it wasn't for the criminal organisation we would definitely be first.

Same lineup as last game. Not a fan of the lack of wingers, but at least Mistakidis is in his proper position

any streams guys?

Pretty crap but better than nothing.

[pash]

Just tuning in now - it looks like the stadium actually has some people there for once. Any idea on the numbers?

[pash]

Good save by Glykos, Asteras is threatening

[Bananas]

Also this one http://www.vipleague.co/football/451351/1/paok-vs-asteras-tripolis-stream.html which is 1 minute ahead.

[paokarag4]

thanks bannans, Ivic might be outsmarting himself a little here. I agree with pash no wingers isn't a great idea. It worked against a far weaker team in Larissa. Kolouris we know doesn't offer much. Is prijovic that unfit? if he is then start Mysta up top and play Enrique on a wing. 

We have looked shaky giving the ball away cheaply and asteras is finding plenty of space. Hopefully we settle

[pash]

I'm surprised that the Asteras player got a card for "theatro"...thought that was a yellow to Canas for sure.

We look very shaky.

[pash]

Well shit, there it goes. Good passing by Asteras for that goal. We need to do much, much better.

[paokarag4]

according the nova reporter, Ivic has changed the formation to a 4-2-3-1. With Cimirot and Mysta moving to the wings

And just as that happens Astera goes 1-0 up, cant say it wasnt coming, they;ve looked dangerous 

[pash]

Here's the thing about our formation - Asteras is playing with a very high line with the intention of scoring. We need to be able to attack on the counter to exploit this offense-only mentality, but the players/formation we have right now aren't going to work for that. If Asteras doesn't park the bus now, we really need to get someone like Henrqiue on the wing, and push Mistakidis to the right. Doesn't even matter who we have up front, frankly.

Hah, great minds...

[BostonThanatos]

It's painfully obvious that not having wingers is making it impossible to get the ball into ASTERAS territory...we've been basically just sitting in our half this entire time with zero movement of the ball...

[pash]

DAMN that would have been great, right between Matos' legs...

[pash]

Koulouris too greedy there, we had multiple free players up front...

Slight improvement over the last five minutes

[Blackhawk]

Koulouris is a typical Greek player. Selfish.

[pash]

Henrique warming up

Maybe we should call Tudor in to slap him upside the head. Worked for Mistakidis

[Blackhawk]

Great pressing by Tripoli for which we don't have any answers.

[pash]

SHAKOV!!!!! YES!
