GAMES:  75    WINS:  12   TIES:  9    LOSSES:  54

[Blackhawk]

Schwab will miss the game due to yellow card accumulation.

[paokarag4]

Do we think Garcia will rotate in this game or the game against Asteras? He won't risk anyone under an injury cloud (Ingason, Vierinha) there will be a rotation of players such as Zivkovic, Rodrigo, Augusto and Baba it's just whether Garcia chooses to do it in this game or the final game. 

Early reports suggest that Martins will continue to rotate the Olympiacos squad for this one. 

[pash]

I think he should rotate for both, but I think we're going to see a relatively unchanged squad until the end of the season...

[Blackhawk]

I think the rotation will spread out among the two games. Like paokarag4 notes he will not throw in players such as Ingason and Vierinha into the games, but I also expect to see some players that are back from injuries (El Kaddouri, Crespo, Kagawa) to get some playing time to get back into game rhythm and be ready for the final. Most likely that will happen in the Tripoli game.

With that in mind my lineup for tomorrow:

--------------- Paschalakis --------------
----- Mihaj ---- Varela ---- Michailidis ---
Lyratzis ---------------------------- Baba
---------------- Douglas -----------------
Murg ---------- Warda ----------- Tzolis
-------------- Krmencik -----------------

[pash]

It's a good lineup. Will be interesting to see how Mihaj looks over an actual stretch of play.. I think this would be a fun combination of players to see.

[Blackhawk]

ACTUAL LINEUP:

 

[Athens4]

I was hoping Ninua and Pereira would start to give the others a rest.

[pash]

Is mao mao gone?

[Blackhawk]

Big chance with Krmencik.

It would appear so. I am surprised it lasted this long.

[pash]

Same, tbh

[Athens4]

I am watching the live feed as still in a meeting. Was Warda's challenge really worthy of a yellow?

You need a stream, Pash?

[Dutch Eagle]

Damn. 1-0 for them.

[Blackhawk]

1:0 Olympiakos

[Blackhawk]

After the first 20 minutes we let them have possession and we paid for it.

[Blackhawk]

81% possession for Olympiakos in the last 20 minutes.

And now a post hit by Olympiakos.

[Dutch Eagle]

That was a yellow for that foul on Tsiggaras.

[Blackhawk]

We could have scored couple goals with Krmencik and Tzolis, but we also could be losing 3:0 now. Good beginning, but we gave them too much space after the first 20 minutes. the injury to Papastathopoulos actually helped Olympiakos to take control of the game. 

[Blackhawk]

Also one of the worst refereeing I have seen lately. After seeing the highlights during halftime, the goal by Olympiakos started with a foul on Warda.

Thought that too. Had the sound of (was having my diner) so could not hear if there was a VAR-check.

[Blackhawk]

Mihaj in for Lyratzis to start the 2nd half.

Mihaj coming in for Lyratzis
