So do you rest Zivkovic and Kurtic here? Or, since they can't play next Wednesday, do you push them to be available and not risk injury to those who can play?

[Athens4]

You play both and rest Paschalakis.

[Blackhawk]

And also rest Biseswar, Vieirinha and Crespo.

[pash]

Here's my super-fun lineup:

 

                      --Zivkovic--

--Sastre--Michailidis--Ingason--Sidcley--

             --Schwab--Tsiggaras--

--Jaba--         --Soares--        --Mitrita--

                        --Colak--

 

I would actually prefer to start Mihaj over Ingason here, and I think Lucescu will put Augusto or El Kaddouri in over Soares. But this will probably be the "easiest" game of the playoffs, so there probably isn't a better time to start the new guy.

[Dutch Eagle]

El Kaddouri is suspended!

75% capacity of the stadium is allowed from now till March 21st. This means about 21,500 fans. I think only about 10K will show up. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Paschalakis is injured just like Oliveira.

Ingason, Douglas Augusto and Vieirinha can rest.

El Kaddouri is suspended.

The lads that were selected are:

Ζίβκοβιτς, Ταλιχμανίδης, Σάστρε, Λύρατζης , Μιχάι , Μιχαηλίδης, Κρέσπο, Σίντκλεϊ , Τέιλορ, Τσιγγάρας, Σβαμπ, Κούρτιτς, Σοάρες, Μπίσεσβαρ, Μουργκ, Μιτρίτσα, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Ζαμπά, Άκπομ, Τσόλακ.

[Blackhawk]

Looks like major rotation tomorrow. 

[italosPAOK4]

nikh kai 3 bathmous !

[Dutch Eagle]

We will wear mourning bands today. It is to salute Pantelis Kiriakidis, a youthplayer that was in coma since he was involved in a carcrash in 2009 with his father (who died at that event) returning from a tournament in Athens where he competed for PAOK. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Η ενδεκάδα του ΠΑΟΚ:

Ζ. Ζίβκοβιτς, Σίντκλεϊ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μιχάι, Σάστρε. Κούρτιτς, Σοάρες, Μπίσεσβαρ, Μούργκ, Ζαμπά και Τσόλακ.

[pash]

Aris lost 2-1 vs Olympiakos (obviously a late-game penalty was given to make the result a sure thing). PAO and AEK are currently playing through stoppage time, and it's a 1-1 there. These are pretty good results for us. Assuming AEK does not win, we'll go into this game with a 6-point advantage. A win today will go a long way towards solidifying 2nd place.

[pash]

What is that symbol on the right side of their chest? I thought I was looking at the FFF logo. Their jerseys are by Kappa, aren't they?

[Blackhawk]

Michailidis knee injury. Hopefully not serious.

[Blackhawk]

Poor first half. Our team is so slow. Not sure how we are going to score a goal. Can't rely on Kurtic all the time.

[Dutch Eagle]

We better play them away. 

[Blackhawk]

Michailidis torn ligaments. Season is over for him.

[Blackhawk]

Goaaaaal Akpom.

[pash]

Fantastic that we scored.

Did Michailidis already get confirmation of torn ligaments?? Absolutely terrible.

[pash]

Btw Lodygin was fantastic today. But that's not surprising considering how long he's been so good. And to think, Greece almost managed to cap him ?

 

[Dutch Eagle]

Poor game. But three points. Nothing more to add.

[Blackhawk]

Initially they said partial torn which would mean 6 weeks (basically rest of the season), but they think it's full tear according to the announcer on TV. MRI will clear things up.

Your boy gonna get more playing time …

[pash]

As he should!

[Bananas]

How did the new kid Soares look ?  I hope for 2.5 million there is something there.
