Important result. Turned a few heads in Europe too.

It was a great result for us going into the 2nd leg. Liked the assist Bouchalakis gave to Podence. Randjelovic is a gun. I’ve said how good he is before and now producing the goods for us. It’s good how Martins has kept the same team and formation for the past few games.Comment

Consistent line-ups breeds confidence. Notice how Martins didn't feel the need to but a left back at CB during any of the games. What is the money Van Shit will try that bizarre experiment?Originally posted by Dean97 View PostComment

The lessons here is that it can take longer than expected to find your starting 11 and for the work you put in, in training to start to show in games. Now imagine had marinakis let martins go a few months back…This is his work. He has managed to get some good results from a group lacking obvious stars.Originally posted by JVC View Post

Watching the 2nd leg against Krasnodar. We are doing fine but I think we need someone better than Valbuena. Younger and faster. He is doing ok though. We need a few solid signings that’s for sure. If we want to go far that is.Comment

Big 2-1 win in Russia... well done, good points for Greece, also not often you see a Greek team win both matches against Russian oppositionComment

I saw the 4-0 win live. Bouchalakis looked like he was playing at the intensity of a super league game, not a UCL game. Bouchalakis was mostly second to the ball and did nothing to settle the ball for OSFP. Valbuena did everything. Masouras passed the ball backwards nearly every time he got a touch of it. Would not play it to Tsimikas when the pass was on. These two need to play better at this level. Tsimikas was the standout of the Greeks. He hustled and defended well. He got forward when needed and added width. He reminds me a lot of Bakakis, loads of energy, but does he have enough quality there to suggest he will get better in time? Only time can tell, but I was happy with him.
Valbuena was difference maker on the field. He and the Serb that came on for Masouras were the best players on the pitch. The first goal was really the doing of Gate 7 and Valbuena. The work he does to connect the play allowed OSFP to find the space that resulted in the efforts on goal that led to the opener. Guerrero did well to take the shot, but it was clear Gate 7 traumatized the keeper. Almost anything OSFP could have put on the net would have gone in. Once the Serb took the pitch, he just ran to the net and took shots. The goalie for Krasnodar was intimidated by the crowd. Podence then put the cherry on the cake. The injury to Cabella in the first half had changed the complexion of the game too.
Semedo looked good, but was not smarter than Berg and there was a moment where he got a little caught off guard. I could see he had a problem with his knee after that moment. At the end of the game, he looked like he was trying to do a Muslim prayer, like Meriah and Camara had done, but he got up quickly. The guy is lost. OSFP would do well to sell him at the first opportunity.

It looks like Kamara may get the start over Bouchalakis for the match against Tottenham.Comment

Is it true that Koutris is not even in the squad against Spurs?Comment

I think it’s a big mistake letting him miss out this one. I hope Tsimikas has an excellent game.Comment

Looks like Martin is sticking to one team in Europe. The only change is Guerrero, who got hurt in the warm-up. Bouchalakis gets the start over Camara.
Tottenham are starting without Son. Dele Alli is just returning from injury.Comment
