Xori means what?

Badly beaten the penalty, btw.

[Faliro]

Penalty after a foul on Kasami, Xori misses the pen.

Wasn't on Jimmy? Didn't seem penalty to me.

Was on Kasami.  Smothered him down... I would say 75% a pen.. sometimes not given.

Xori or 'Chori' in Spanish is the name Dominguez goes by most his career.

[PsychoFan]

Great goal.

Didn't like Benitez.

[Faliro]

Fortounis scores his second, well taken, I suspect the serb keeper who went off 10 mins before might have got a hand to it.

3-0 FT.

I believe the ref was biased towards us today. The pen was for me a pen, but there were many fouls on Ergotelis players which were not given.

The team is trying to find an identity.

My ratings for today.

Roberto 10 Nothing to do, but not one mistake.

Elabdouali 8 solid
Giannoulis 7
Santana 7 better
Avlonitis 7 not bad today
Kasami 8 Always like this player. Plays better in the free role, but tried hard and won a pen. Had two shots on target, Psychofan may disagree on this one! 
Maniatis 6 Just can't stand this guy.
Affelay 0 Literally nothing.
Jara 3 I am still shocked at the open goal he managed to miss.
Jimmy 7-8 Got better once he scored. Clearly a confidence player.
Fortounis 8 Surprised today how well he played.
Dossevi 6 fairly poor. Lots of effort though.
Xori Dominguez 8 Super passer, super skill. Very nice player.
Benitez 8 Not enough time but had a header on target and tried to cause problems.

Nope but he looks hungry today!

^^  You should see the goal he missed today...  ^^

What else is new?

I just liked Chori and Jimmy. Maniatis I still don't know, he passed very unnoticed. But I don't remember him making a mistake, good passes, very simple player. Not formed an opinion yet on him. Fortounis... seemed good, but I have to see more. Dossevi he's quick, like the right back. But his decision making... this serves too, to the right back, but this one it's even worse (right back). But again, I have to see more. Still very unknown to me, most of the Olympiakos players.

And, I'm just talking about with the ball, because without it, its still earlier, Olympiakos defended men to men, and VP hasn't got time to really train, so I don't even look at it.

For me the team has been struggling. Most the players are average.

Wednesday is the biggest day of the season for me when we travel to Russia for the Europa cup game. Tickets for the game are €7.

Hopefully VP will field the strongest lineup possible.

if there are no injuries I forsee Motroglou, Santana, Siovas, Elabdouali, Matsuaku, Chori, Maniatis, Kasami all starting. Jimmy, Affelay, Fortounis, Dossevi, Ndinga, Milivojevic all competing for  spots.

I would pack the midfield for this game, Michel style.

Pele never play in Oly right? Why he don't left the team in January?

Jimmy is not that bad...

[Faliro]

Yea, I saw him play a few times for us. However VP thought he was not good enough and sent him to Levadiakos on loan.

As for Jimmy I seen him play absolute crap.. today he was better and after he scored, far more confident... perhaps the player the technical team originally saw..

[Covenant]

In Sweden and Turkey Jimmy was very interesting.

[Faliro]

Today was the first time he looked like a footballer in Greece.
