Would expect to see the Italian lads debut today. Hard to know what to make with the new format, we clearly want to come top 4 to avoid a "quarter final playoff" match. I guess that doesn't leave us much room for error, especially first up. 

With that in mind, Lucescu will probably still rotate the starting 11. Hopefully the boys can get the win.

I believe they're required to have an U-21 player on at all times, and it seems like it'll be Berdos to start. He is a 17 year old left winger. I'm sure Chalov will eventually make way for one of Chatsidis or Mythou. Would be nice to see all three of them at some point though.

Levediakos is a bit less constrained than us, as they have a number of players who are 19 already in their roster. Will be interesting to see how our guys stack up.

[Dutch Eagle]

Kenny has fever too and won't play.

Starters:

Γκουγκεσασβίλι, Τέιλορ, Μιχαηλίδης, Κεντζιόρα, Σάστρε, Καμαρά, Μπιάνκο, Ιβανούσετς, Αν. Ζίβκοβιτς, Μπέρδος και Τσάλοφ.

Very lame rule. Do not understand why and who accorded this. Because a certain European spot is at stake as the cupwinner starts in EL-PO and has minimum Conference League League Phase. But what do I know ........?🤓

[Dutch Eagle]

Everybody is leeping in the defence and we are 1-0 down.

[Dutch Eagle]

Own goal Kedziora btw

I genuinely think they should require like 5-6 players to be youth!!!

[Dutch Eagle]

Ivanusec missing a sitter 

[pash]

Possible penalty? I'm watching on mute but it seems Berdos may have been fouled in the box

-edit- yup, Chalov to take it...and...goal!

Edited September 17 by pash

[Dutch Eagle]

Berdos pushed by former PAOK youth player Filon in the box. Penalty. Chalov converting and 1-1

[pash]

Oh damn and a nice headed goal by the opponents at 40 minutes. STOP BUYING GEORGIANS!
