[Blackhawk]

Squad for the game:

Ζ. Ζίβκοβιτς, Ταλιχμανίδης, Μπαλωμένος, Σάστρε, Κεντζιόρα, Νάσμπεργκ, Κουλιεράκης, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπάμπα, Ράφα Σοάρες, Τσιγγάρας, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Μεϊτέ, Μάρκος Αντόνιο, Μουργκ, Κωνσταντέλιας, Τάισον, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Ντεσπόντοφ, Μπράντον και Τζίμας

No Kotarski, Vieirinha and Lyratzis

Garcia is also leaving a lot of his starters out of the squad, but Warda is included. Will be interesting to see him play. On radio today someone mentioned that he is way out of shape and put on some weight.

This should be a good training session for PAOK ahead of the upcoming championship games.

[pash]

Wasn't he (Warda) without a squad for the first half of the season? I can totally see it.

What if he becomes a bit roly-poly and ends up becoming the next Biseswar!

[Blackhawk]

[pash]

Kind of surprised Nasberg is getting the start.

Is today gonna give us a Zivkogoal?!

[Blackhawk]

Nasberg 1:0

Prior to that Serres player received a pass from our keeper, had the goal all to himself, but slipped and did not even get a shot. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Gooooaal Näsberg.

[Dutch Eagle]

The field is a chorafi, hence their #21 slipping away just before our goal after a big mistake of Zivko Zivkovic 

[Athens4]

Anybody got a link?

[Athens4]

No worries, found one.

[Dutch Eagle]

And 0-2

[Blackhawk]

Sastre 2:0

[Athens4]

Ntelias off form today (so far).

[pash]

Could be that he realizes this game will end up 0-4 in our favor regardless of his participation. Still not great to see.

Blackhawk, noticing now the state of the pitch...good lord. Guys, you have one job...

[Dutch Eagle]

Two good saves of Zivko. Keeping his clean sheet so far.

[Athens4]

I would make two subs at half time. Replace Brandon with Tzimas (give the kid some minutes) and Ntelias with Murg (it's an off day, we know how good he is, and there no point risking injury).

[Blackhawk]

This game could have easily be 2:2, but I think at the end we will score couple more in the second half.

Agree on the subs with Athens4. Also, don't like Antonio as dekari that much.

Can't wait to see Warda on the pitch.

Spot on @Athens4!

[pash]

Agreed on the needed subs. And also agreed that Marcos Antonio is no #10...

And there he is starting in the 2nd half.

Penalty

[Blackhawk]

Brandon missed.

[pash]

lmao let's blame the grass!

[Dutch Eagle]

Three in row.......

Must do some training the next days. Could cost points if we do this against the likes of AEX, PAO or OSFP.
