They just started their game vs Lamia and already are down to ten men with a straight red to Sielis. WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET!

[Dutch Eagle]

Squad without Brandon (injured) and without Koulierakis (for the obvious reason). Vieirinha not included (surprise):

Κοτάρσκι, Τσιφτσής, Σάστρε , Όττο , Κεντζιόρα , Μιχαηλίδης , Νάσμπεργκ , Μπάμπα , Ράφα Σοάρες , Θυμιάνης , Καμαρά , Σβαμπ , Οζντόεφ , Μουργκ , Κωνσταντέλιας , Τάισον , Τισουντάλι, Σορετίρε, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς , Ντεσπόντοφ , Τσάλοφ .

[pash]

Sport24 is predicting this lineup, which sounds right to me (though the ozdoev/schwab one could obviously go either way):

 

                     --Kotarski--

--Sastre--Kedziora--Michailidis--Rahman--

        --Camara--Ozdoev/Schwab--

      --Despodov--Murg--Tissoudali--

                       --Chalov--

 

Lucescu must be ripshit at the thought of having three new dudes in the same lineup. I wonder if we'll see Soretire as a sub?

 

-edit- here's the lineup! Poor Tissoudali

[Dutch Eagle]

Save Kotarski in the first minute.

[PaokCT]

Very open game so far 10 min in. They aren’t sitting back and defending a bus

[pash]

Chalov given a gift there and too afraid to take the shot

[Dutch Eagle]

Chalov, you have to shoot the ball if you want to score! Pfffff. Achriste!

[PaokCT]

Idk how that’s not a handball? 

[PaokCT]

Panetolikos is taking control of the game. Three real big chances just now

[PaokCT]

Despodov dribbles the ball out of play for the 3rd time

[Dutch Eagle]

I'm in the right topic now.........

Michailidis yellow. A deserved one.

[Dutch Eagle]

We are playing somewhere between reverse and first gear. Need to give some gas.

And Chalov needs to score or he will end up in the Bermuda traingle of PAOK-CF's like Colak and Samatta.

[Blackhawk]

Once again having problems to break a school bus defense. Despodov not helping things. Chalov all alone in the box. He needs some help there.

Bring in Zivkovic and Baba ASAP.

[italosPAOK4]

nikh kai 3 bathmous

[Dutch Eagle]

Goallllll Sastre 1-0

[pash]

Have we ever had a player that can set up people for goals as consistently as Despodov? Great play for the 1-0

[PaokCT]

Great sequence of passing leads to a huge chance and a big save 

[Dutch Eagle]

Gate 4 raising the volume. Maybe that will inspire the lads.

[pash]

Was Bouzoukis the player we tried to buy from Panathinaikos? Bet both teams are happy that deal didn't go through, huh

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Camara

[PaokCT]

Schwab chance, another save

[Dutch Eagle]

4 subs at once:

Despodov, Murg, Chalov and Camara out.

Zivkovic, Taison, Tissoudali and Ozdoyev in. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Goooaaaallllll Tissoudali and 2-0

[pash]

Tissoudaliiiiii!
