We have the depth for this competition. This year, so far, has mostly been without Parker, Lloris, Benny, Kaboul, and Ade. 
I also think Townsend can be just as good- perhaps better than Lennon.

Pana were formed in 1908. Mere babies, then. They were originally called P.O.A - Football Club of Athens. In 1910, they were renamed P.P.O - PanHellenic Football Club. Aye, just like Chelsea FC tried to call themselves "London FC" when they formed a good couple of decades after the rest of us. So, Pana risked becoming known as pretentious twats from very early on.
At some point during World War One, Pana assumed the imagery of the Shamrock. Perhaps you will hear stories from people swearing that their Irish granddad served alongside Greek troops, and introduced the luck of the Irish to the Athens club. Maybe.
FWIW, their official site asserts that the three leafed shamrock represents the mind, body, and soul. So smoke a spliff and eat some lentils before tomorrow's game, man.
Since all that old shit happened, Pana have won an impressive number of trophies. Twenty Greek titles, to start with. Add to that seventeen domestic cups, and four Super Cups (the Super Cup is the same as our Charity Shield). Of course, their league is a bit shit, really. But still.
If you choose to peruse the club's list of European "trophies" on their official website, you will see they haven't won any. But they have been quarter-finalists and semi-finalists on a number of occasions in the Champions League and UEFA Cup.
Their league form is DDLDW. And the win was against Levadiakos, who are shit.
They got humped 3-0 at Maribor who most of us thought would be the whipping boys of the group. Of course, most of us didn't know Maribor are from Slovenia or even that they existed, until we drew them in the competition.
So, all of this adds up to a challenging away game in which we'd be happy to scrape a draw. COYS!

I’m also not in a position to criticise other managers’ approach to the competition.
“But ask my goalkeeping coach Tony Parkes about when he won the UEFA Cup with our club in 1984.
“When English clubs were later banned from Europe it was every single club’s ambition to play in European competitions.
“I respect the competition. I certainly think it is viewed as a punishment in England and I cannot understand why. It is a traditional trophy.
“We have lost the Cup Winners’ Cup, which I did not think was a good decision. But it was taken to enrich the Europa League.
“It’s full of tradition, particularly in England, so that’s what surprises me about this attitude even more.
“So many great players have won this competition. You can go back to Ray Clemence, Kevin Keegan, Tony Parkes and the list goes on and on.
“You could build the most sensational team of all time from the English players who have won it.
“We at Tottenham view it as an education for the future.
“I certainly believe other countries do not approach it as England do.”

Parkes played for West Ham, Parks played for Spurs.
