Antaeus7 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 AEK Athens will be paired up with St. Etienne in the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
Damianos Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 A very tough draw, not what I'd hoped for. We have a small chance, but with the 4th round still to come I don't like our chances. As said before, we we can get an away goal we are a chance, however, without a striker if we go down 2-0 or more I don't see us being able to manage more than 1-0 at home... We must defend well, it's unfortunate we don't play harder friendly games to prepare. Fingers crossed, I'll be watching. PAME AEK!!!
Original Sydney Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Not the team you want to face first up but that's the luck of the draw. Tough match but we are AEK we fear no one!!! Need to get a striker ASAP otherwise we won't be going anywhere in Europe
Original Sydney Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Now that we are almost done with bringing players and the game a week away, I think our team may match it with St Etienne, Im guessing line up will be close to this: Anestis Galo Kolo Chygrynsky Didac Simeos Johanssen Mandalos Vargas (Platellas) Almeida Barbosa (Pasticho) Getting more confident now..... If we can pinch an away goal that will be massive.
Damianos Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I don't think Almeida will start, will go with Pekhart. I also doubt Pasticho will get any game time either... Will be a very hard game, can't concede early and as you said an away goal and a respectable scoreline would be gold! Interesting how a few seasons ago we were all Greek and now we only have three, five max in the starting lineup. Bakasetas doesn't get a run?
Dikefale11 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Ketsbaia stated Pekhart will be starting he is saving Alemeida for the league.
Original Sydney Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks Dikefale I didn't hear him say it, but having Pekhart up top gives us a big target man in the box. I think we may see Almeida in the return leg though and maybe even Pasticho. Damianos I would like to see Bakasetas in the starting team but where do you put him? He cant play #10 Mandalos is there, do we put him on the wing? He will get his time. St Etienne isn't having the best of pre seasons either so we are a real chance I feel, all comes down to 1st leg and what we get from it as at home I have confidence we can get the job done, being our 1st Euro game in a few years and a big crowd will help us.
Nikod Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Is Anestis or Barkas our starting GK going into new season?
Dikefale11 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I'd say Anestis will start until he makes a big mistake, which is bound to happen, then Barkas will get his chance and hopefully nail it.
Akritis_1944 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 St Etienne are the favourites but it will be close. Good luck to the AEK.
Nikod Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) ^^^^ I saw him play a friendly this summer as DM. Opposition wasn't great but he was making nice passes. Not the most mobile. He's played the position in the past. Edited July 23, 2016 by Nikod
Original Sydney Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Will be interesting to see who Ketsbaia goes with upfront. St.Etienne (whether head games or not ) seem to be worried they drew us going what some of their players have come and said, will be a close tie. Really need an away goal/cleansheet, if we can achieve these 1of these or both, we are on a good path
Damianos Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 St Eitienne $1.60 Draw $2.60 AEK $4.50 Let?s not underestimate how difficult this is going to be. As Original said, an away goal would be priceless! I can see us putting all our numbers behind the ball. Does anyone know if it will be on BeIn Australia? PAME AEK!
Original Sydney Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I haven't seen anything being advertised to show AEK, stream it will have to be
Original Sydney Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 NOVA is showing the game for whoever has access to it. Big game coming up hope the players are as pumped as I am lol PAME MORI AROSTIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 1
Antaeus7 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Posted July 17, 2017 That's a killer, at least AEK Athens should focus on qualifying for the Europa League.
