I am very much wondering how much of a rotation we'll see in our first game. Surely Lucescu will play a few other guys? Maybe Michailidis/Thymianis, Tsiggaras, etc?

[Athens4]

Honestly, at this point, who the f*&k cares?

[pash]

I think the last time you boycotted the team, we won the championship, so don't let me stop you!

[Athens4]

Not sure how you interpreted that as boycotting. All I am saying is that right now after what just happened nobody cares if there will be rotation against a team who we will beat with a 99.99% certainty.

[Dutch Eagle]

Michailidis is suspended for this one after the two yellow-red against O Aris that both weren't fouls.

Näsberg will probably get a start in order to minimise an injury for Koulierakis. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Squad:

Τσιφτσής, Ταλιχμανίδης, Βιεϊρίνια, Σάστρε, Κεντζιόρα, Νάσμπεργκ, Κουλιεράκης, Ράφα Σοάρες, Θυμιάνης, Καμαρά, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Μουργκ, Σορετίρε, Κωνσταντέλιας, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Ντεσπόντοφ, Τισουντάλι, Μπράντον, Τσάλοφ.

Soretire is on the list. Rafa Soares is back. Tsiggaras left out. Kotarski, Taison are injured. Like Jonny. Baba has some rest.

Tsiftis will probably make his debut.

[pash]

I'm gonna take a guess at what Lucescu is thinking:

                         --Tsiftsis--

--Vieirinha--Kedziora--Thymianis--Soares--

            --Schwab--Ozdoev--

    --Zivkovic--Murg--Konstantelias--

                        --Thomas--

 

Here's what I'd like to see! And I could imagine Kedziora actually playing RB for this.

                       --Tsiftsis--

--Thymianis--Kedziora--Nasberg--Soares--

               --Schwab--Camara--

           --Zivkovic--Murg--Soretire--

                     --Tissoudali--

 

Tsiggaras being left out is pretty weird. It leaves us very thin at CM. Very interested to see what our new GK can do.

[pash]

Never change, Razvan...

 

[Blackhawk]

Would not be surprised if drop points today.

[pash]

I would be. Off to a spicy start

[Dutch Eagle]

Penalty Penserraikos and 0-1

Hahahaha 

[PaokCT]

Joke of a PK given to us

[pash]

Schwab scores

I can't believe how bad these streams are. Can't watch more than 30 seconds on any of hte options without it going nuts

[Blackhawk]

Exact same play as in Malmö game with Koulierakis. Both should have been penalties.

[PaokCT]

Ehh I disagree. Pulling happens every corner kick. Very rarely is it ever called

[pash]

Did Nasberg just nearly screw us??

[PaokCT]

We may have the worst defense in the top 2 tiers in Greece

[Dutch Eagle]

Goaallll Ozdoyev and 2-1

[pash]

Ozdoev!

Literally zero reason we should have Nasberg on the squad. Unreal that he still has a job here.

[PaokCT]

PK taken away. Make up call

[PaokCT]

2-2
