They both did

[Damianos]

Both won, good result for Greek coefficient

[Nikod]

So what is our first choice 11 shaping up to be? Haven’t been able to watch the friendlies

No idea, teams have been pretty varied in the friendlies and now with Oliveira in you would think he would start. Im thinking:

.................Barkas
Paul.......Oiko....Vranjes....Lopez
............Simao....Simoes
Verde.......Gelardes......Mantalos
..................Oliveira

Klona has got loads of game time, interesting to see where Livaja will come in.

[Dikefale11]

Sparta Prague or Trabzonspor. Not the easiest but glad we avoided Feyenoord and Espanyol as we always struggle vs Spanish teams.

1st leg at home is key.

Lets get past the Romanians first.

[Original Sydney]

Agree with you, won’t be easy but better one of these 2 teams than Feyenoord or Espanyol.

Im confident we can make it and even if we don’t I’ll be happy as the rest will be playing Europa while we play once a week and focus on the title.

Oly copped it, should they beat the Turks, they’ll most likely play Porto, not easy at all.

Seems Cardoso may have lost the dressing room already. Tiger seemed angry at Liber for hiring him.

When will Greeks learn not to let former NT players hire coaches...?

Well once again we have no idea who's responsible for the signings and who's drinking tsipouro at the scouting matches. But any high school student could have told you where the problems lay in that match--part of it was tactical, the other part was sub-par performances. The warning signs from the first match were there, papered over by the scoreline. If you have fast wingers, you'll beat AEK.

Seems like AEK have the same problems that the national team has. Poor tactics and sub par performances.

And no one to fire or hold to account for bad decisions..

True.

[Original Sydney]

Now the rumours have started Dellas and Kostenoglou mentioned as taking over. True or not Cardoso needs to go. Take Lybe with him also, he’s done nothing the last few years in his role.

[Damianos]

What's the point though? He's played a few comparative matches. So many knee jerk reactions. We should still have Manolo. New coaches won't change our roster and it's too late to get new players

Funny thing is everyone was calling for Mantalos's head 3 months ago, now he's one of our best players. People are too impatient in Greece

[Amorgos]

Let's see what happens with Xanthi and whilst Damianos is right about been impatient, my gut feeling is Cardoso was such a bad option and it's really showing so we are in catch 22 situation... sack the guy early and all that plan goes to waste or give him time and hope things come good,. we will,. I am sure give him some time but dont be surprised if it kills our season early, let's face it though, we are chasing PAOK and OSFP already, I think PAO is currently much better than us too btw.

[Val]

Give him time. I'm looking at the first goal from yesterday's game. There's some work that's gone into that move.
