Blackhawk Posted January 30, 2024 Author Posted January 30, 2024 Giaxis and Ricardo join the main squad from the 'B' team for the cup game with Panserraikos.
pash Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 Will be interesting to see who plays here. Really need a heavy, heavy rotation. Here's what I'd do! --Zivkovic-- --Sastre--Nasberg--Michailidis--Soares-- --Tsiggaras--Schwab-- --Zivkovic--Antonio--Ricardo-- --Tzimas-- Not that I think it will happen (particularly with Ricardo, though I'd LIKE to see some of him). Feels kind of good to know that this lineup would PROBABLY finish top-four in Greece too. Well maybe 4th. Just with a much worse goal differential.
Blackhawk Posted January 30, 2024 Author Posted January 30, 2024 It will be a mistake to start Sastre in this game. He needs some rest ahead of the difficult games coming. He will be need there. I believe Giaxis will start as RB tomorrow. You are probably right about Ricardo not starting. I think he will start Konstantelias and give Ricardo some minutes as a sub.
pash Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 Well I would have thought they'd bring Kedziora in but I guess that's a no-go. Not a ton of options otherwise. Unless Nasberg starts there and we play two Greek CBs (!)... A pity, this would have been a perfect game for Vieirinha. Instead we'll probably see him start vs Olympiakos and get repeatedly burned.
pash Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 The lineup: --Zivkovic-- --Sastre--Nasberg--Michailidis--Soares-- --Tsiggaras--Schwab-- --Zivkovic--Antonio--Konstantelias-- --Tzimas-- I was SO CLOSE!
Blackhawk Posted January 31, 2024 Author Posted January 31, 2024 Bad move by Lucescu starting Sastre in my opinion.
Blackhawk Posted January 31, 2024 Author Posted January 31, 2024 Double save by Zivkovic after a tragic mistake by Nasberg. Should have been 0:1.
pash Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 Tzimas getting into position pretty well. Should have been 2:1 ?
Blackhawk Posted January 31, 2024 Author Posted January 31, 2024 Baba in for Sastre. Will play as RB.
Blackhawk Posted January 31, 2024 Author Posted January 31, 2024 pash gets to see Ricardo play. Subbed in for Schwab.
pash Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 (edited) My only regret is that we did not have more of a rotation. Get all of the B team in there! Did Brandon Thomas REALLY need to play at the end? Anyway, at least we'll have some guys nice and rested. Hopefully Atromitos is worn out. -edit- speaking of worn out...Ricardo a bit worse for wear as he may have cracked his collarbone... Edited January 31, 2024 by pash
