UEFA Champions League

Plzen are obviously more match ready but they failed to take advantage. They seem toothless up front and they’re up against a good keeper in Sa. I think oly might be okay but it's hard to imagine where the goals are coming from. Podence at this stage of his career isn't a scorer. If this changes he's gone. Valbuena is well in his twilight years and prob best coming off the bench. As for Guerrero, you just don't feel his presence. Semedo from a corner or set piece seems a better bet.

Without Fortounis the team could struggle a lot more than I thought.

We are not match ready and it showed. Valbuena looks like an overrated signing despite the Gavros media bigging him up 24/7.

My ratings:

Sa 9 - saved our ass a few times.
Avraam 9 - good while he was on.
Semedo 9 - strong and a good passer.
Ba 9 - impressive debut under pressure.
Tsimikas 5 - not as attacking or as composed on the ball as Kutris.
Elabdellaoui 4 - not a captain's performance.
Bouxa 8 - surprisingly determined and composed.
Guilherme 5 - not his usual self.
Valbuena 3 - will be 35 this year - looked 40 today..
Masouras 5 - couldn't do much.
Guerrero 2 - can't believe he is our main striker this season. Surely el-arabi for the next game?
Podence 6 - tried very hard.
Randjelovic 7 - looked dangerous.
Camara 3 - looked out of it.

Poor performance really. Sa easily MOTM for Oly.

Avraam was pulled off injured at the 22nd minute:

Valbuena is coming off for Camara soon.

No worries Don. Is Novasport the only channel you can watch it on?

Only Nova as far as I know. There might be a paid streaming service or IPTV that could have it; Agona, DAZN, Fubo, etc., depending on where you live.

[Dean97]

How we playing so far I haven’t got the channel.

[Soprano76]

Why is Avraam playing? Is Oly missing guys from AFCON

Sorry Dean. It's 8pm on Novasport 1.

Thanks Don.

Sorry Dean. It's 8pm on Novasport 1.

Actually I misread. The 2nd leg on the 30th has kick-off time at 9:30 on Novasport 2HD. The game does indeed start at 8pm on Novasports 1HD.

[Reaper]

Thanks Don.

I suspect sport24 made a mistake. Kick off is 8pm Greek time.

[Dean97]

Novasport2HD will show the game starting at 9:30pm Greek time (pregame starting from 8:30pm).
