Yeah I don' think Augusto has got what it takes. But I don't think Ferreira is gonna make a chance in the midfield. I read they were spending a lot of their time practicing defending against set pieces - too little, too late my friends

Pelkas is a must-start IMO. People are giving him flack for missing that goal - at least he was in the position to threaten twice there.

Leaving Biseswar out would be a disaster. His creativity is vital if we are to create chances to score. I would play a genuine 4-4-2 with Swiderski joining Akpom up front. Pelka to the bench. Rest of the team unchanged.

Agreed. We're not going to stop them from scoring. I am also very confident that we will be able to score. But we need to fight for a lead and keep pressure on them. This won't happen if we hope to sneak through with a goal in the 90th minute.

Pelkas and Biseswar need to start this, but the coach should make his subs much earlier. If Biseswar is slowing down at 50 minutes, then bite the bullet and put someone else in who can do the running.

Εννοείται ότι ο Μπίσεσβαρ πρέπει να ξεκινήσει. Αλλά δε νομίζω ότι θα κάνει αλλαγές ο Φερέιρα. Λογικά θα κατεβάσει την ίδια ενδεκάδα.

Αυτό που δεν μου άρεσε στο προηγούμενο παιχνίδι ήταν ειδικά η πρώτη αλλαγή. Έβγαλε τον Πέλκα, πήγε τον Μπίσεσβαρ δεύτερο επιθετικό που δεν του ταιριάζει και είχε και τον Λημνιό αριστερά που δεν μπορούσε να κάνει πολλά. Θα προτιμούσα να είχε βάλει τον Αουγκούστο στο κέντρο για να γίνουμε πιο σφιχτοί.

Anyway, πάμε για το θαύμα και να γουστάρουμε. Να μη φάμε γκολ στα πρώτα 25 λεπτά είναι το πιο σημαντικό!

The 21 that will travel to The Netherlands:

Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Μελίσσας, Μάτος, Γιαννούλης, Ροντρίγκο, Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο, Ίνγκασον, Ντόουγκλας,  Μίσιτς, Εσίτι, Ελ Καντουρί, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Ζαμπά, Λημνιός, Άκπομ, Σφιντέρσκι, Γαϊτανίδης, Στοχ .

This means that Kace and Mihaj (besides the injured players) are cut.

I thought at the start of this season we’d need 4 wingers with Lamprou being one of them.  Apparently not.  Not sure what more our coaches need to see to give him a go.

Still if they’d rather slot Biseswar on the flanks then we have too many.  Personally I wouldn’t have bothered to sign Stoch who so far has been lack lustre.

Perhaps he'll turn out to be lackluster. People have a habit of throwing players to the wolves if they've had five minutes of bad performance (which so far constitutes the entirety of Stoch's actual game time with us this season).

I think we're going to sell Jaba and if we do, it'll just make the Lamprou sale look stupider. What I think may actually be happening, is that the coach wants to put his own guys in there. So if Jaba goes, he'll select yet another Brazilian.

Lamprou must have some obvious flaws if a 2nd coach is preparing to loan him out. Without having seen him play really, my guess is his defensive side is poor to non-existent. His numbers in Holland last season suggest he's very good going forward, but again that's just based on numbers.

I was hopefully he'd come back this season and be vying for a starting place down the left, we shouldn't write him off yet but given he hasn't been included in either of the squads for the Ajax games suggests he might be on his way out.
