  1. My expectation is that he plays his best 11 and does his damn best to qualify in the top 2 in the group. That is achievable. Winning the title is not. Therefore, the game against PAO should be a lower priority. Thus, the conundrum.
  2. I find it surprising that he would say Europe isn't the priority. PAOK lives for their "european nights". Maybe he thinks we got a shot at the title, or maybe he just didn't think about the comment before he said it ...
  3. I've always rated Skondras. Easily on our best 3 players last season. Unfortunately maybe playing 3 at the back doesn't suit him, but you'd think that given the CB's of Vitor, Costa, Tzavellas, Malezas he would have had some starts by now. The fact that he hasn't is a worry. So if you do throw him in now and he's a bit rusty, is it his fault ?
  4. Tinder is full of p******kia. Pana, download tinder NOW!
  5. The first second Greek team in history to win two consecutive CL away games ?
  6. That injury to Olsen seems awfully convenient. Playing Malezas and Skondras seems like lunacy. Other than Olympiakos, this is probably the strongest team we will be facing so far this season. And you go and change 2 out of 3 of your CB's and your GK ?
  7. Could go either way, but if anyone was to implode, it will be us.
  8. This makes no sense, except in Greece of course. Dellas was sacrificed on the alter of Melisanidis, at least that's how it appears to me. Was he doing that bad a job ? AEK only lost 2 games so far this season. Away to Olympiakos and away to PAOK. Hardly the worst results. Other than those games, AEK was coming along just fine. As for Meli, I don't understand this guy. If you are worth 3 billion, why would you spend only 160K on your beloved team. Maybe it was a setup all along and he didn't want Dellas but couldn't find a way to get rid of him.
  9. Why wouldn't you want the automatic spot ? It's guaranteed 4 bonus points.
  10. Agree, but I don't see this as the game Tudor will be experimenting in. I'm hoping once we're done with the derby with PAO, he starts trying out some of the other players. At the end of the day, what I want to know is what each of the new signings has to give to the squad. Rodrigues has shown what he can do. Leovac seems like he'll cement the LB position. Sabo is a concern. Olsen, oh Olsen. I want to see more of Charisis and especially Cimirot. Hoping for big things from this player. Hoping ...
  11. And here I was hoping you got a severe case of crabs from screwing half a fraternity.
  12. And the 6 o'clock news here in Australia. Although, it doesn't take much to get the media excited here in Australia ...
  13. Agree, aside from the EL Qualifying matches, this is the most important game of the season so far.
  14. The team was leaking goals for the second half of last season. This season, they are still doing the same. Statistically, our defence is one of the weakest in the GSL. The management knew this and only brought in Malezas. The team concedes goals from set pieces easily. To blame Olsen is easy. Why did you bring him to the club if you knew he's not strong on set pieces ? Oh, you didn't know ....
  15. Rumour has it a 37 year old. Might be a bit young for PAOK though. I'm sure he's got a couple of good years before he needs to retire at PAOK. Bring on the youth. Build for the future, etc.
  16. Seriously, he should be happy to play for no wages right now, just so he could stay fit. Playing actual game minutes would be a bonus.
  17. I like the idea of playing Klaus and Berbatov up front. I think increasingly we'll need something like this to help break down teams that play deep.
  18. Old EPO mission statement : To steal, plunder and enrich ourselves. New EPO mission statement : To steal, plunder and enrich ourselves, more discretely.
  19. I think it's time to give Sabo a spell. With a new player, it can make a difference when they come back. Let's see what the others have to offer.
  20. Tziolis is not so bad, and he has picked up his game. I do hope that Cimirot and Antonis can offer more though. Cimirot especially.
  21. Very encouraging signs from this game. I even have some hope now for WC qualifying. The lineup was something I didn't expect. Could it be that Tsanas actually knows the game ? Or did he play the "reserves" to teach the "best" 11 a lesson. The irony. Tachs was superb. Until we get the DM/CM roles sorted, this team will never progress. As others have pointed out, hopefully this display along with Samaris wasn't a one off. I wonder if having more attacking options allowed Tachs to play his natural game, or whether he just had a really good batch of fasoulada. He was just out of control. Pelkas, Fourtounis, Mandalos great to see. Go for it, damn it. These kids will only get better.
  22. Clubs complaining about their players not being selected, should be told ... respectfully ... to f--k off. PAOK demanding Tzavellas be in the NT is farcical.
  23. Ranieri was always a dud. He's never been conservative ... which is fine, but he'll never make a good NT coach. NT football is conservative by its very nature. You don't have 30 rounds to catch up if you have a bad run of form.
  24. I can't see any reason for Fortounis to not be on the field. My suspicion is that Tsanas was "instructed" to not play him. After all, what's the point, the campaign is over. Nothing else makes sense. Why wouldn't you play your best player ??
