pash Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Poor record there. They're going to be missing one of their starters, while we're missing one of ours. Hopefully Mistakidis steps up. Anyone want to bet we'd see Henrique start?
pash Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Matos will be sitting this game out due to accumulation of yellows
Bananas Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Does Matos have to sit this one out ? You'd think we need everything in our attacking arsenal to crack that Xanthi defence open. Then again, I'd say Ivic has done the sums and deduced that we're now in a strong enough position as far as the play-offs are concerned so he's willing to take a chance.
pash Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 It's really miss this one, the next one vs the same team, or Veria. And Leovac is already out for that last one.
italosPAOK4 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 pame na paroume th nikh kai tous 3 ba8mous na sunexisoume thn anodikh mas poreia !
pash Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 On to the next one! A win here would be big. Players not available for this game: Matos (accumulation of yellows), Biseswar (injury), Pelkas (injury), Henrique (red card). Canas likely to be out as well. Kitsiou is very likely to play (and was pretty decent today, as a winger). Wouldn't expect to see more than a few minutes of Warda.
Blackhawk Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 I don't think Biseswar is injured. He might sit this one out in order to be rested for the Schalke game.
pash Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I totally meant to write Campos. I had Diego on the mind.
Blackhawk Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 My lineup for Sunday: ------------------ Glykos ----------------- Kitsiou -- Valera - Crespo - Leovac -------- Cimirot ------- Kace ----------- Mystakidis - Shakhov - Deligiannidis ---------------- Klaus ----------------------- Would not be surprised to see Brkic in goal. Malezas, Prijovic and possibly Warda to be subbed during the game.
pash Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I'm with you on this, I think we'll see this lineup too. Deligiannidis is literally the last person we have left who plays in that LW position and is familiar with the team. My only real concern would be Brkic. I don't think he's another Olsen, but he is very very rusty. If Ivic really doesn't think he's ready, though, we might see a 3-5-2. Kitsiou's skillset matches that of a wingback, and it would still allow Mistakidis to be played as a second striker.
pash Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Some good news - Campos is training normally with the team. Who knows if he'll play (or even travel) this weekend. Some bad news - there's a fear that Canas might have ligament damage - the MRI is scheduled for today. He definitely won't be playing this weekend.
pash Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 InPAOK predicting warda and Campos starting as wingers. Surprised by that. If true, it's a good sign that Mistakidis will start vs Schalke
Dutch Eagle Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Ivic selected: Γλύκος , Μπρκιτς , Λέοβατς , Δεληγιαννίδης , Κίτσιου , Μαλεζάς , Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο , Πούγγουρας , Σάκχοφ , Χαρίσης , Τσίμιροτ , Κάτσε , Μπίσεσβαρ , Κάμπος , Ουάρντα , Μυστακίδης , Πρίγιοβιτς , Αθανασιάδης.
pash Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Looks like he went with the 3-5-2 after all. Nice to see Deligiannidis start. Not sure about Campos up the middle though
teke817 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Any streaming links you guys could share? I can't get one that works...
Bananas Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 http://www.vipleague.co/football/451357/2/xanthi-fc-vs-paok-live-stream-online.html Takes ages to get rid of the damn ads blocking the screen though. It's like they won't let you click to get rid of them for a couple of minutes. 1
Bananas Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Matos and Leovac both getting a rest before for the Schalke game. Any idea how many games Henrique is banned for ?
pash Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Haven't read anything yet but I'd imagine for three? Thanks for the link! 1
Bananas Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Klaus nice first touch. Instead of control and shoot it bounced 2 feet away from his foot.
Bananas Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Damn dodgy ads on dodgy streams. One day Nova might get their s**t together and provide an actual legit quality streaming service. I will give you my money Nova. Akoute ? 3
pash Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Man, Biseswar looks SO much more fit than before. He actually just outran someone.
Bananas Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Just now, pash said: Man, Biseswar looks SO much more fit than before. He actually just outran someone. Ha ha, he was TERRIBLE in the first half of the season. Seriously made me wonder why we signed him. Very glad he proved me wrong and then some.
