No reason we shouldn't leave that stadium with three points in the bag.

[Blackhawk]

And pretty much end their dream of making the playoffs. This will be a tough game for us. Historically we never do good with them in Athens. Only 8 wins in 67 tries.

[pash]

Ending their playoff hopes would be to do a service to all of Greece. Don't need more teams unable to qualify for Europe.

[italosPAOK4]

pairnoume to diplo kai sunexizoume thn anodikh mas poreia

[Yiankos]

Αυτό είναι το μεγάλο τεστ για την ομάδα μας.

Μεγαλύτερο και από το προηγούμενο ματς.

[Bananas]

I expect a dour game with lots of yellow cards.

[pash]

Skibbe will be attending this match, after also attending our game vs Olympiakos and the away match vs Schalke. His assistant watched our 0-3 loss to Schalke. Guy's doing his homework.

[BostonThanatos]

Mystakidis is on the come up ... unless he's been looking at Klaus and Koulouris....the dynamic duo

[pash]

For sure. Kitsiou and Charisis don't get enough game time...Pelkas, he should already know (and also doesn't play)...and Malezas is too old / competing in a position with too much depth.

[Blackhawk]

Skibbe should keep his dirty little hands off PAOK players. We don't need distractions on our team. Let him stick with Tziolis and Maniatis.

[kozi]

Having the likes of Pelkas and Mystakidis in the NT squad is good for their confidence and development. Short term they can be covered, long term they are better players for the team. 

[pash]

Malezas is questionable for this game, he was taken off early vs Olympiakos due to a minor thigh injury. Everyone else should be available.

[Blackhawk]

Canas is back and will help our midfield. I expect a hard fought battle on Sunday.

[Yiankos]

Για να δούμε αν θα καταφέρει η ομάδα να κατέβει από τα σύννεφα που την έχει ανεβάσει ο κόσμος και οι δημοσιογράφοι και να εμφανιστεί στο γήπεδο. Η ιστορία μας λέει ότι θα χάσουμε με κάτω τα χέρια. Υπάρχει νοημοσύνη στους εγκεφάλους διοίκησης και προπονητή ώστε να αποφύγουν την κακοτοπιά; Ιδού η απορία...

[pash]

Malezas trained without discomfort, he'll be ready for this match too.

[Blackhawk]

Reports are that Canas will start on the bench. I would have him as a starter.

My ideal lineup for this game:

---------------- Glykos ----------------
Matos - Varela - Crespo - Leovac
------ Cimirot ------- Canas --------
Campos ---- Warda ---- Henrique
--------------- Prijovic ----------------

The only changes I would make is Mysta for Campos, but every time Mysta starts he is not as good as when he is subbed in. Going with Warda instead of Biseswar. Biseswar seems to disappear against bigger an tougher teams.

[Yiankos]

Συμφωνώ Ζιάκα σε όλα. Το μόνο που αμφιβάλλω είναι κατά πόσο είναι έτοιμος ο Κάνιας μετά από τον τραυματισμό του.

[pash]

Here are the players who are traveling to Athens:

Γλύκος, Μπρκιτς, Λέοβατς, Μάτος, Πούγγουρας, Μαλεζάς, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Κάτσε, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Κάνιας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Μυστακίδης, Ενρίκε, Κάμπος, Ουάρντα, Πρίγιοβιτς, Αθανασιάδης

No Kitsiou - he seems to have picked up a minor injury during training.

[BostonThanatos]

According to bookmakers, AEK is the slight favorite in this match.  

[pash]

Lineup:

          --Glykos--

--Matos--Varela--Malezas--Crespo--

--Cimirot--Shakhov--

--Campos--Warda--Henrique--

--Prijovic--

 

I like the front four, though I think Canas should have gotten the start. Not a fan of Crespo as fullback, either.

[teke817]

if anyone has any links please post. 

As much as I would like to knock AEK out of the playoffs. AEK is a team that should be playing in Europe each year. No offense to any Xanthiotes out there ...

Damn 1-0 AEK.
