Dutch Eagle Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 A clean sheet will do the trick. Even if Xanthi scores just one goal we will progres. Must be careful the first 20 minutes not allowing Xanthi to score to take away confidence from them.
Blackhawk Posted February 27, 2017 Author Posted February 27, 2017 Canas is back practicing with the team. I would use him for 20 minutes to get ready for Sunday's derby.
Bananas Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Canas really locks down the midfield. Great at the kofti role. I'd like it if we got another player similar to him during the summer.
Bananas Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Good lord he couldn't even get a game at Veroia. I have no idea what Arnesen saw in him. I hope he trains with the team this summer because there is this slight niggle in my brain that maybe Arnesen saw something we didn't. Overall, a terrible signing.
Dutch Eagle Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Pedro Henrique should be available on Thursday. He did a normal trainingprogram today without problems.
Blackhawk Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Canas and Henrique should not be starting on Thursday. Maybe play the last 20 minutes to get into the rhythm of the game, so they can be ready for Sunday. Instead of Canas why not start Kace. I think Kace should have played against Iraklis as well instead of Charisis. I don't think Iraklis would have gotten away with their tough game with Kace in the lineup. My lineup for this game: --------------------- Brkic ---------------------- Kitsiou - Varela - Malezas - Deligiannidis -------- Kace ----------------- Shakhov ----- Campos ------- Biseswar ----- Mystakidis -------------------- Klaus ---------------------- Cimirot and Matos badly need rest. it was evident against Iraklis. Save them for Sunday. We also need to be careful and not get any red cards in this game.
pash Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I agree about Cimirot and Matos resting (though Matos did get a full week off prior to the game vs Iraklis). Kace should have played last time, but I think Charisis wasn't bad - Kace should have been in for Cimirot, IMO. I think your lineup is good, however. With some combination of Canas/Henrique/Warda/Prijovic coming on as subs later on. Good to see Shakhov back, surely he'll get the start. We're in a good position to get through, with two away goals. Hopefully Xanthi tired themselves out vs Panathinaikos last weekend.
Blackhawk Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Canas, Henrique, Klaus, Charisis and Warda will sit this one out. Squad for the game: Γλύκος, Σιαμπάνης, Μάτος, Κίτσιου, Λέοβατς, Μαλεζάς, Βαρέλα, Κρέσπο, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Κάτσε , Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Μυστακίδης , Κάμπος , Ματθαίου, Πρίγιοβιτς, Κουλούρης

pash Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Good lineup. Assuming Campos shows up. --Glykos-- --Kitsiou--Varela--Crespo--Leovac-- --Cimirot--Shakhov-- --Campos--Pelkas--Mistakidis-- --Koulouris-- Bench: Siabanis, Matos, Malezas, Kace, Biseswar, Mattheou, Prijovic
Blackhawk Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 I don't think the Pelkas as a "dekari" worked out that well in the past. That's my only question mark in this lineup.
Blackhawk Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 Way too many mistakes at midfield. We are giving up the ball too easily.
Blackhawk Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) We are going to be lucky if we don't have injuries to PAOK players today. The ref missed at least 3 yellows to Xanthi players so far. Edited March 2, 2017 by Blackhawk
pash Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah, sloppy game. What the hell is happening on the sideline?
Blackhawk Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 It's obvious what's going on on the sidelines. It's Kasnaferis creating trouble to get us riled up. Let's not forget we have a game against Olympiakos Sunday.
Blackhawk Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 We are very bad. If we continue this, the qualification might be tough to achieve.
Blackhawk Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 That would have been a nice goal by Pelkas.
Blackhawk Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Very lucky not to be down 1:0 Complete breakdown on defense on set piece. Edited March 2, 2017 by Blackhawk
