We got this. I expect a much more lively game from our end. I don't think we'll see many changes from the last lineup, but I am HOPING Camara starts.

 

                     --Kotarski--

--Sastre--Kedziora--Koulierakis--Baba--

             --Camara--Schwab--

  --Despodov--Konstantelias--Taison--

                     --Brandon--

 

I really don't think there's much of a difference between starting Sastre/Otto, Schwab/Ozdoyev, Despodov/Zivkovic, Konstantelias/Murg. But Camara is looking like an increasingly big omission lately.

[PaokCT]

If I’m Camara I’m seriously questioning my role here especially after seeing how much better I am than both Stefan and Ozdoev

[pash]

Probably a good reason why you're not a professional!

[PAOKSYD]

Camara will start the next match. 

But if were not lucky again, what happens? 

Swedes have cold blood the full toumba doesnt bother them, I dont feel 100% confident..

ΠΑΡΤΕ ΤΗΝ ΠΡΟΚΡΙΣΗ ΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΜΗ ΣΑΣ ΠΑΡΕΙ Ο ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΣ!!!

[PaokCT]

Referee is Marco di Bello. First official game of the season. Was the 4th ref during our 0-2 loss vs Brugge recently. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Almost sold out. Only the most expensive (VIP-tickets) left for sale. 

[pash]

Otto is still not training so surely won't be in the squad. I watched the pre-game press conference and it's....very hard to tell what Lucescu is thinking regarding Camara. My guess is that he doesn't think he's ready to start yet, judging by his responses.

[Athens4]

In other words, it's going to be another nail biter with Sastre and Ozdoev starting. Never a dull moment.

[Dutch Eagle]

Squad:

Κοτάρσκι, Τσιφτσής, Ταλιχμανίδης, Βιεϊρίνια, Σάστρε, Κεντζιόρα, Κουλιεράκης, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπάμπα, Θυμιάνης, Τσιγγάρας, Καμαρά, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Μουργκ, Κωνσταντέλιας, Τάισον, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Ντεσπόντοφ, Τισσουντάλι, Μπράντον, Τσάλοφ.

 

 

[Blackhawk]

Not sure if he is going to risk starting Schwab and then lose him for the playoffs if he gets carded. Would not be surprised to see Tsiggaras play tomorrow.

[Athens4]

Forgot about Schwab on cards. In that case, I honestly think Camara will start.

Starting lineup:

[PaokCT]

Ozdoev has made 2 horrible mistakes so far

[Blackhawk]

0:1

[Blackhawk]

Cheap goal

[Dutch Eagle]

Damn. Semi-corner and 0-1

[PaokCT]

Our ugliest game of recent memory

[Dutch Eagle]

Sastre giving a clear sign thinking the ball would go behind. As a defender you learn: aways your face to the opponent so you can see him. Was napping obviously when that was explained. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Goaalllll Taison

[Blackhawk]

Taison the savior again.

[pash]

WOW what a goal!

[PaokCT]

What a goal by the old man!
