[Blackhawk]

Looks like we will have problems with the CBs in this game. Vogliaco and Lovren are doubtful. Michailidis is out. We might have to go with Kedziora, Thymianis duo.

[paokarag4]

Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence that duo, not that Vogliacco being fit would either. I think it speaks volumes that Michailidis has become our most important and solid CB this season. He has definitely improved defensively, but I still don't think he is quite at the level to be a starting CB for us, that is a team competing for the league. No doubt his ability on the ball is top draw and certainly an asset that is required in plenty of matches. 

But back to this week's game, our defense has been shaky all season and the lack of options at CB doesn't exactly help that problem. We must win this, the loss to Atromitos means we can't afford to drop any points in this one.

Stating the obvious, but we probably have to score at least 2 as you can't be sure that our back 4 will be keeping a clean sheet. 

Also interesting to see how Lucescu counters the Siopis-Konstantelias match-up. Siopis is dogged and disciplined. He will stick to the task and for the most part kept Ntelias under control a few weeks back (with a few fouls helping his cause.) Maybe having Konstantelias start from the left and drift inside will help either free him up or create some space in the middle of the pitch if Siopis follows him out wide. 

[Dutch Eagle]

A must win game. More so as the current leaders (the Gavroi) drew against Kifisia. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Starting XI:

Παβλένκα, Κένι, Κεντζιόρα, Βολιάκο, Μπάμπα, Οζντόεφ, Μεϊτέ, Τάισον, Κωνσταντέλιας, Ζίβκοβιτς, Μύθου.

[Dutch Eagle]

Scumbag Bakasetas gets away with only a warning. Again.

[Dutch Eagle]

Mythou almost with a header.

[pash]

You can tell Palmer-Brown had a very serious injury because he is totally fine and ready to go back in after wasting a solid three minutes.

[Dutch Eagle]

Goal Konstanteliassssssss

[Blackhawk]

Konstantelias 1:0

[PaokCT]

Goal 1-0 Konstantelias!

[pash]

Beautiful goal, and let me just say Taison is looking like an absolute monster out there

[Blackhawk]

Everything in today's game has been created by the exceptional Taison including the Konstantelias goal.

[pash]

I absolutely love how Swiderski can't stay onside; a true secret weapon for us

[Blackhawk]

Very good first half. Should have scored at least one morel. Need to continue the same pace in 2nd half. The goals will come.

[pash]

Is that really a yellow card for Swiderski? I mean he started sliding like three meters out...

Tho he was offside so that was great. Hopefully Pavlenka is just milking it.

-edit- commentator is saying Pavlenka is asking for a sub, time for our young buck to get in

Edited 12 hours ago by pash

[Dutch Eagle]

Pavlenka can not continue. Tsifsis subbed in. 

[pash]

Thymianis, Ivanusec, Camara, Chalov warming up
