[Blackhawk]

As expected Schwab will sit this one out due to cards. He will be joined by Ingason. 

Remains to be seen if Tzolis will play after his injury.

[pash]

My grade-A lineup:

 

                  --Zivkovic--

--Soares--Varela--Michailidis--Rahman--

         --Tsiggaras--El Kaddouri--

        --Zivkovic--Warda--Murg--

                   --Krmencik--

[Blackhawk]

That is the most likely lineup. It appears that El Kaddouri will probably not get much playing time going forward as he is refusing to agree to a  contract extension.

I am also waiting for the day when Kagawa gets a start and if Warda keeps his cool as a result.

[paokarag4]

The form Warda is in he won't be dropped. More likely Kagawa will continue to come off the bench or one of the two will be pushed out to the wing in order to play both. For example this week if Tzolis isn't fit to start we may see both in the starting line-up. 

[Nea Bafra]

Tsiggaras worries me

[Blackhawk]

Tsiggaras was solid in the last few games that he was called upon to play. Big test for him will be the games against Aris and Panathinaikos going forward to the playoffs. 

[pash]

Guy won't get better if he doesn't get minutes. I haven't had a problem with him since his big screw ups a few months back. I still think the big change was getting a real attacking midfielder in there (Warda). Team just looks so much more "linked," front-to-back.

[Nea Bafra]

He was sloppy once we were comfortable on the weekend. That's what worries me. Gave the ball away cheaply twice and a better team would have punished us. It's worrying, not Michailidis level panic but still. I also agree he needs minutes.

[PAOKSYD]

Why carnt we put kagawa on the wing?

Cause he’s not a winger. Wingers need to be quick , elusive, agile, and fit to track back and help defensively. Kagawa isn’t there right now in his career

[Blackhawk]

Tzolis is ok and is ready to play, however Andrija Zivkovic sustained an injury during practice and his participation will be decided tomorrow.

That's good news.

This will be a tough game. Hopefully we can win this one.

Everyone's gonna hate it but I like it

Starting lineup

[PaokCT]

Oh nice

[pash]

Time for my prediction. 3-1.

[Dutch Eagle]

We are playing away. You want us not to win???????

[pash]

Haha I realized that after I hit submit. 1-3 us, but I'm going to revise this and say at least two goals will be scored in the second half.

[pash]

Oh man that was a nice goal, ruled offside

[Blackhawk]

Did not look like offside to me.

[Dutch Eagle]

Goal Krmencik. But VAR check
