Omonoia9 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Oh, come on, even UEFA spells it Omonoia now! This should be a fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 2,900 fans will be allowed for this game. On paper this is our easiest game in the groups stage and if we don't win it will most likely be the end of any chances we have to qualify from this group.

You know, other than the recent CL meeting with Olympiakos, Cypriot clubs have done pretty well against Greek opposition in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think we will have a hard time winning. I saw both games against Olympiakos and their defense is solid and we always have a hard time cracking the tight defensive formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 They will be solid at the back and come out with counter attacks while our midfielders and defenders concede stupid fouls. You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard it here first. Basically what AEX played this past weekend. All Scottish crew as far as officiating the game is concerned. Hopefully the ref will not keep the cards in his pocked as did the German one on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paokarag4 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Simply must win this game if we want qualify from the groups. Won't be easy as Olympiakos had a tricky time cracking open Omonia during the 1st leg of their Champions league play-off. Who partners Schwab in midfield? El-Kaddouri isn't fit and this is a match where we are going to have the bulk of possession and dominate the ball, so basically it's not a match where Esiti should start. I would assume Augusto isn't fit enough to start, but he maybe an option. Ninua is our only other option who maybe given the nod. Unless Ferreira has some tricks up his sleeve and he changes formation and we see 3 in midfield with Bieseswar as a dekari, although I think that's pretty unlikely.

Athens4 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Schwab and Murg in the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Maybe, but I doubt we'll see something like that. Having only one midfielder sounds rough. My money is on Ninua, but I wouldn't be surprised if Esiti plays (he looked very good vs AEK). Who knows, perhaps we'll play four at the back so that we can have both Swiderski and Colak up front? 4-4-2 diamond? Still risky, you'd think a DM would be there instead of Schwab. --Zivkovic-- --Matos--Varela--Ingason--Giannoulis-- --Schwab-- --Zivkovic-- --Tzolis-- --Murg-- --Colak--Swiderski-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Sounds like we have a case of the 'rona in the squad. Also, here's the squad list: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 The infected player did not impact the player list for the game. As for the lineup, I think Ninua will partner with Schwab and after we score couple goals (I hope) Esiti will come in. Actually I would like to see a 4-4-2 formation in this game with Colak and Swiderski as forwards, but I don't think we will see that as Ferreira was salivating over the 3 center back formation during his press conference today.

BostonThanatos Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Seems like a solid line-up to me. Hopefully Colak can rise to the occasion and prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
