pash Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 We'll definitely be seeing Klaus for this. Which to me says we should expect him to start on Sunday as well, to get back into rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paokarag4 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 can't wait for this one. God i love when we get out of the group stage. Something about playing in Europe in February that just makes me feel funny on the inside. CRUCIAL that we do not concede in this game. Take a 0-0 to Germany and hit them on the counter. any goal we get at toumba is a bonus, the priority is not to CONCEDE. As we've seen in the past, copping away goals and poor results at home have cost us. We dont want to go to Germany chasing a score if we want to give ourselves the best shot at qualifying. Enrique will be key in this tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique will be key in this tie. Agree with everything you said. Have you created a device that can read my mind ? Are you from the ... future ? I've taped the recent game Sandhausen vs Schalke 1:4, and have started watching it. Got about 10 minutes in before I got interrupted so I'll check out some more later, but from what I can see Schalke looked very sharp with their passing and movement. Similar to Ajax but a slight notch higher. Having said that Sandhausen are a 2nd division team but even so I'd expect Schalke to have lots of possession and for us to be doing lots of running and covering space. It's a shame Canas might be out as this is the sort of game we really need him. Hopefully Enrique can fill the void left by Rodrigues and Biseswar can give Schalke some head aches. It's interesting, if you have a look at http://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-schalke-04/spielplandatum/verein/33 you can see Schalke started off the season playing with 4 at the back and then beginning from the 23.10.2016 (that's 10.23.2016 for those crazy yankees that still talk in inches, yards, pounds, fahrenheit and whatever other crazy measurements they use) they switched to 3 at the back and have been playing that way ever since.

PAOKSYD Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Guys as much as i love paok and fesr no team as he passion paok brings out in you no club compares too. I just woke up very pessamistic this morning as schalke value is 200m ours is 40m. When we get happy about smacking xanthi they on other hand smacked hertha berlin - their movement off the ball, final pass and overall play is way better than ours. So paokars good luck and bring us the kypello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Saw Schalke against Berlin over the weekend. We will need a lot of luck and very good defensive game to get a result against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I watched that match as well, they were very good. But Schalke has been all over the place this season. We're better than we were with Huub, and they aren't any better than they were then. And of course, this time we have a sold-out Toumba. My only immediate concerns for our lineup are how tired Varela might be, and how Klaus will play (especially with Henrique, who I'm going to assume he has little to no experience with). We should also keep in mind all four players in our back line are sitting on two yellows. Any yellows in this match means we'll have to rotate...and possibly heavily.

BostonThanatos Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Campos looked pretty bad yesterday...Will Mysta get the nod in his place? I'm hoping Klaus find the net finally....he's over due. I won't hold my breath though, his psychology is trash right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Two players that we will definitively miss in the two games against the Germans are Canas and Kace. Not sure if Charisis will be able to replace those two. Ivic will have to be creative on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
