[Blackhawk]

After our last two bad results on SL this one shapes up to be a must win game.

[pash]

Here's the list - no Ekong or Tsiggaras

Ζίβκοβιτς, Κοτάρσκι  Ταλιχμανίδης, Βιεϊρίνια, Σάστρε, Κεντζιόρα, Νάσμπεργκ, Κουλιεράκης, Μπάμπα, Ράφα Σοάρες, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Μεϊτέ, Μουργκ, Κωνσταντέλιας, Τάισον, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Ντεσπόντοφ, Μπράντον, Τζίμας, Σαμάτα

Gotta be Ozdoyev who gets the start, right? Probably paired with Schwab. I am not sold yet on Meite (or Samatta, for that matter).

[Dutch Eagle]

Squad:

Κοτάρσκι, Ράφα Σοάρες, Νέσμπεργκ, Κεντζιόρα, Βιεϊρίνια, Μεϊτέ, Οζντόεφ, Ντεσπόντοφ, Κωνσταντέλια, Τάισον, Μπράντον.

Always seems to a tricky game in Giannina. Rotation was always going to happen, hopefully Kedziora and Nasberg gel quickly. 

Our attacking 4 looks good, with Zivkovic and Samatta coming off the bench if things get hairy. 

We just need to win this, however we can. We've already left 5 points on the table, can't afford to drop anymore at this stage. 

[italosPAOK4]

nikh kai 3 ba8mous

[PaokCT]

Yea exactly my Aussie friend. Can’t afford to keep dropping points early in the season then play catch up

[pash]

Yikes at that back line...

[Dutch Eagle]

Goooooaaallll

[pash]

Commentator talking about how the goalkeeper was caught sleeping but wtf happened with the person WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWING THE VIEWER

[PaokCT]

Wow what a weird goal

[Dutch Eagle]

I thought VAR would cancel this goal of Konstantelias

[Dutch Eagle]

Glad we scored after 2 games without doing that 

[Dutch Eagle]

And they equalize

[PaokCT]

We immediately sit back after scoring and PAS ties it up. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Goooaaall and 1-2. Konstatelias again

[Dutch Eagle]

Little bit defected. But I don't care.

[PaokCT]

Going for the hat trick 

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Kedziora.

[Dutch Eagle]

I see we wear shirts with our shirtsponsor in sign language. Looked odd but eventually I figured it out.

[Dutch Eagle]

HT 1-2

[pash]

Yeah when they did the lineup at the beginning there was a big banner there. WHERE'S MY PARADE?!

Good on them though!

[Blackhawk]

Our defense is kind off suspect. PAS easily gets headers in our box. Need to score one more to secure the win. Hopefully it's Konstantelias for the hattrick .

[Dutch Eagle]

Our defenders look like midgets compared to their airforce. Happy it went wide 

[Dutch Eagle]

Schwab and Andrija subbed in. Meïte and Despodov subbed out.
