Time to forget Europe and focus on Sunday's game. Good thing is that we will have Augusto available for this game. He was missed in yesterday's game.

[Dutch Eagle]

Vieirinha still injured and Pereira has fever. Biseswar and Varela just won’t play. Therefore the squad will be:

Πασχαλάκης , Ζίβκοβιτς , Ουαγκέ , Ροντρίγκο , Ίνγκασον , Κρέσπο , Μιχαηλίδης , Γιαννούλης , Εσίτι , Τσιγγάρας , Ντόουγκλας , Νινούα , Ελ Καντουρί , Σβαμπ , Μουργκ , Α.Ζίβκοβιτς , Τζόλης , Σφιντέρσκι , Τσόλακ , Κούτσιας.

Paschalakis starts over Zivkovic for a 2nd straight game in the league, I'm not sure what the logic is given how rusty Pasxa looked against Lamia. Our best midfield starts tonight as well. 

Starting eleven: 

--------------Paschalakis
Rodrigo-----Ingason-----Michailidis----Giannoulis
----------Schwab--Augusto---El Kaddouri
Zivkovic-------Swiderski-------Tzolis

[Dutch Eagle]

Looks like Rodrigo is injured (hamstring).

[Dutch Eagle]

Wagué subbed in for Rodrigo.

[pash]

Tuned in 15 minutes late, just managed to see the injury. At least he was able to walk off. So hopefully won't be a long absence.

[Blackhawk]

Tells you a lot about our players physical condition when after a short sprint they tend to get injured.

[pash]

El Kaddouri's breath completely knocked Suarez out!

[PaokCT]

Yea that’s a red. Got him in the shoulder.

 

EL Kaddouri shooting us in the foot two games in a row

[Blackhawk]

El Kaddouri you idiot. Two games in a row you burn the team.

[pash]

Aaannnnd we're down to 10

[PaokCT]

He’s lost it. Get rid of him

[Blackhawk]

It should still be penalty though.

[Dutch Eagle]

Stupid reaction El Kaddouri. Red card is the only option. 

[PaokCT]

Just now, Blackhawk said:

Didn’t look to me like he got his foot. But idk if there was a clear view or not

[Dutch Eagle]

And you know that all this teams with Spaniards are cheaters and divers. Omar should have known better that they are masters of the “comedia delle arte”. 

[Blackhawk]

And we are going to the game with Aris without one of our best players. 

[PaokCT]

But let’s be honest. The real problem here is we can’t break teams down. For the first 30 min before the red card we couldn’t do anything. Asteras had more quality chances. Once again we lack the creativity. We have shown time and time again the past 2 years we can not break teams down that sit back.

[Blackhawk]

Thats been our problem for ages.

[Dutch Eagle]

You need a player like Biseswar in his good days to break those teams with a smart ball between the lines.

[PaokCT]

Let’s see how we come out in second half. Yesterday , Aris got a red card and scored 2 goals 

[paokarag4]

We finally create something from a corner, good chance Schwab

[Dutch Eagle]

Smart ball Zivkovic. And post.

[pash]

GOOOALLLLLL
