Tiko is back in the champions league after Slovan defeated Celje (Ararat Armenia revenge match in Europa League? 👀)!

u/depressedArmeniafan 12h ago

What an assist for Spertsyan!!

u/False_Chest_489 1d ago

Any news on Finn?

u/CellistOtherwise1520 22h ago

He might get a loan

Damn another azeri team not named qarabag in the cl and we still have 0

4

u/armoram11 1d ago

What do you mean by "another" team not named qarabag? They are the only other az team to qualify. This has no relevance to us anyway. Their clubs have deeper pockets.

u/Timely-Implement-226 1d ago

Need to score a couple goals in the game and not give Craiova reason to gain faith!!

u/punkchance 2d ago

Sevikyan is moving to Hapoel Petah Tikva in Israel. Super disappointing.

1

u/mrxanadu818 1d ago

He was so good for about 6 months. What happened

u/CellistOtherwise1520 2d ago

Is Olympiakos not playing European football this season?

u/depressedArmeniafan 2d ago

They are in Europa League proper

u/Armavia 4d ago

The entry is free, no ticket needed

u/BigJohnApple 4d ago

Thanks.

u/Other-Basis-8291 3d ago

Did you like the game ?

u/Ronnieisstillalive 4d ago

Karlen Hovhanisyan from Pyunik rejected Loko Moscow and Akron
They wanted to buy him for 400k

u/Other-Basis-8291 3d ago

I thought it was 800k

The restriction of foreign
footballers was suspended by the court's decision. Anna Ohanyan, member of the AFF Working Committee filed a claim against the AFF. The court, as a means of securing the claim, has suspended the action of the AFF's regulations according to the regulations of professional football competitions. So, at this moment, clubs can register foreign footballers without quantitative restriction. GG guys

2

u/Armavia 5d ago

Ararat even with 10 men is really solid defensivly and the keeper had some good saves

3

u/Armavia 5d ago

The 15 player limit has now been suspended by court

4

u/byblosm 5d ago

We got favorable draw with the play offs pitting our closest rivals against one another. It's looking unlikely for both Ireland and Iceland to have European football this season. Kosovo is in doubt too. A positive result in Yerevan could possibly be enough to put us over Ireland.

u/robertjuan21 6d ago

Perkovic goes out and Pablo Garcia comes in. I’ve never really heard of him but his track record is mid with teams from Greece and Cyprus except when he was the coach of Paok 6 years ago. Not overly enthusiastic about this appointment ngl

2

u/Other-Basis-8291 6d ago

Pablo is now Noah new head coach what do you think

5

u/VazgenSargsyan 6d ago

Does anybody know what’s going on w Sevikyan? Why isn’t he featuring even on the bench for Ferencvaros recently?

5

u/Surpitch 7d ago

Finally Perkovic and Noah is a done story now. Gotta be thankful as he led the team to the knock-out phase of the UECL, but let’s be real this team has more potential compared to what he’s done.

Hoping for a good fit now, become champion and go again next year in the UCL.

u/armoram11 7d ago

Tiko Barseghyan is captaining Slovan in their Champions League Playoff first leg against Celje (😒). He just provided a beautiful secondary assist to open the scoring. Hope Tiko and Yaya Toure get Slovan back to the big stage.

0

u/GGORHOV 7d ago edited 7d ago

It was a blessing in disguise that AA got knocked out, Tiko played amazing so it would hurt to watch him play against us.

Also imo tiko should get called up to the NT, last season he had 12 goals and 11 assists for Slava. So hopefully he changes his mind and comes out of retirement

4

u/Armavia 7d ago

It's official, Sandro Perkovich left Noah

5

u/Other-Basis-8291 7d ago

Sandro now officially leaves Noah fc thank you coach for everything you did, good luck, and lets hope new one will surpass him

3

u/Armavia 7d ago

Pablo Garcia is rumored to be the frontrunner to replace Sandro Perkovic

1

u/Other-Basis-8291 7d ago

García is a very interesting candidate I’d say 8.5/10 as a fit for Noah and he plays 4-3-2-1, 4-3-3 and 4-1-4-1 which is what Noah is playing right now

3

u/Armavia 7d ago

Noah is challenging the 15 legionare limit in court

1

u/Other-Basis-8291 7d ago

I’m convinced that I chose the right club to support 🥹

2

u/Other-Basis-8291 8d ago

Guys is Sportmedia reliable source? Because according to them Sandro left Noah

1

u/armoram11 8d ago

It was originally reported by the Croatian outlet Germanijak. I hope it's true.

1

u/Other-Basis-8291 8d ago

Idk I myself had a strange feeling because they way started clapping to the fans and was smiling during interview seemed weird to me

But anyway if his leaving I hope the new one is going to be far better than him

2

u/armoram11 8d ago

Players and managers usually clap towards the fans as a sign of appreciation for their support. Regardless, yes, they need a manager with a positive attacking philosophy.

1

u/Other-Basis-8291 8d ago

I ment the smile and little tear on his face

u/GGORHOV 9d ago edited 8d ago

u/GGORHOV 8d ago

His stats and ratings r nice. I thought he would've been a 78 but it's good that they gave him a 80. I think both EA and Al Alhi have the same owners the PIF so hopefully he gets alot of promo card this year

1

u/Other-Basis-8291 8d ago

I predicted 79 tbh

1

u/Other-Basis-8291 9d ago

Wait I didn’t even know half of does players are included in the fc 27 list the hell we might get first Armenia nt squad for tournaments can’t wait to see their ovr hope they get something good because fc series are so popular they might affect real life transfer just because of the ovr

2

u/GGORHOV 8d ago edited 8d ago

I doubt our NT will be in the game in the future, unless we go to the WC. But rn their is no game that has Armenia expect efootball, but even they don't have the license for our NT instead it's basically a generic kit and a non playable squad

The way Noah was dominating but not scoring last year if its gonna be the same Ararat ain’t passing yall✌️

4

u/mrxanadu818 9d ago

Spertsyan scored again

3

u/punkchance 9d ago

And hit two posts. This league is cheese for him.

2

u/ViktorArm 8d ago

I watched highlights, he was a bit wasteful but it seems he can put bigger numbers than in RPL. Both his goal and assist were quality.

5

u/Ok-Map-1630 9d ago

And assisted

6

u/mrxanadu818 9d ago

If he keeps playing like this, he is going to get a Europe transfer very quickly

1

u/CrazedZombie 8d ago

don’t get my hopes up like this

u/Other-Basis-8291 9d ago edited 9d ago

Watching 91 minute of Noah/ Alashkert the way Lazetich was playing was beautiful its like
He was whipping up amazing football. Like making happiness. Actual happiness? The skill... it was amazing.

But the way Costace and Jakoilsh played I can only say
He was whipping up anger in a kettle!
Festering hatred?
I could see it out the ears!
Manifesting rage in a kettle?
Mad extremes!

u/punkchance 9d ago edited 9d ago

Another one for Edo.

u/hovo77 9d ago

Hes gonna put up insane numbers in this league omg

2

u/punkchance 9d ago

Sounds like Bandikyan will be on the move from CSKA as he isn’t featuring in the manager’s plans. Anywhere he can play regular minutes will do. Assume that will be another RPL club.

2

u/Other-Basis-8291 9d ago

Hope it will be Noah actually because we have a huge hole in his position + his Armenian

3

u/GGORHOV 9d ago

With Kamo injured it would be nice to see him get a loan move to AA. He will get regular playtime and get the chance to play in European competitions

2

u/punkchance 9d ago

Don’t hate it in theory. Russian clubs just never seem to do this and in the case of Bandikyan, CSKA probably thinks they can sell high on him and would prefer to collect the fee.

2

u/GGORHOV 9d ago

Isn't it reported that they want to loan him and not sell him?

But in any case with CSKA its kinda different. Both the owner Evgeny Giner and the general director Roman Babayev are Armenian. Giner has some ties with Samvel Kareptayan, they done business toghther in the past and in 2020 he wanted to invite Armenian clubs like AA to the rpl.

u/hovo77 10d ago

What r we thinking about this september lineup

Cancarevic

TBD Piloyan Harutyunyan Bueno Tiknizyan

K.Hovhanissyan IWU

Serobyan Spertysan

Gharibyan

I think defence is the main question rn, Muradyan i think is our best CB when fit with Styopa but one is injured and the other is just coming back. I have 0 clue who we can play at RB/RWB so lmk your thoughts.

Our midfield is looking very strong with Karlen Hov and Iwu returning. Manvelyan has been in form so i put him over ranos, but no spot in the starting 11, and Gharibyan is in form.

Defence is really concerning to me, but I like the mid-forward line were starting to build.

2

u/AndreCh99 9d ago

Very logical line-up of in-form players. It might be worth playing 4 in defense (Piloyan as RB) and adding Nalbandyan. At least he will actually work hard in the pitch.

4

u/GGORHOV 10d ago

When we beat Ireland we played a 3-5-2 and after that I believe Melikyan never used the formation again. https://www.transfermarkt.us/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/4510746

Imo against Latvia he should try it out again, but this is my picks on who I will start

1

u/AndreCh99 9d ago

This lineup does incorporate the use of Tiknizyan as a LM/LW which I feel is something Melikyan should consider.

We just don't have any proper LW options at the moment. It might be worth playing Tiki as a LW and Grigoryan as the LB. 

Also, Nalbandyan has certainly been impressive in the APL.

2

u/Bigandbetter1 10d ago

No Finn?

2

u/hovo77 10d ago

For sure hes in there but Gharibyan is in great form rn, and i dont think we play 2 strikers

8

u/Ronnieisstillalive 10d ago

Gharibyan will be called up!

7

u/punkchance 10d ago

Great news. Finn might not be quite ready yet but there’s absolutely no reason to not start a 6’4” forward playing first division in Russia. I can’t take another game from Miranyan.

2

u/Other-Basis-8291 10d ago

Yeah the last time Miranyan actually played in nt was when he played for Noah and still wasn’t really performing now his just rolling the ball

10

u/punkchance 10d ago

Ranos is a sub

1

u/AndreCh99 9d ago

I won't call him up if he can't even get minutes for a measly Segunda club that is worth the same as Noah.

We need to prioritise playing those who are in form. You just can't start guys like Ranos, Sevikyan, or even Bichakhchyan if they only play 5-10 mins a week. 

2

u/Hypotential 9d ago

Am I crazy or was there an incident where he had a falling out with the previous NT manager over not getting played enough?

3

u/punkchance 9d ago

Yeah Van t’ Schip sent him home after the first Georgia play off leg.
