Looking at all the league tables online your points deduction is yet to applied?

correct.  the deduction hasnt applied yet because it could be a -3 point or a -5 point.  if im not mistaken, its one of the things discussed at the april 5th court case.

On an interesting note Panionios fielded an all Greek 11 today (not for the first time..). Just goes to show the talent is there if you have the scouts.

 

That's fine if you're aiming to not challenge for titles.

 

Paok has too many players that seem to not fit together. Idk why but I always get that feeling with Paok, like the team is never at 100% chemistry.

 

Every season we buy a heap of players.  Of course there isn't chemistry and I don't expect to see any consistency of any kind.

 

PAOK should hope its only 3 points that get docked because if its 5 points then the pressure is really on for that final playoff spot which will be between PAOK, Platanias and Tripoli....

 

Seems like everyone is losing form at the worst possible time.

 

WARNING: Conspiracy theory incoming.  EPO is waiting for round 30 to see how the table finishes.  Deduct accordingly.  Savvidis can then have a wah wah about how the Athens cartel are against him. ;)

It's called an appeal process. 

 

Anyway, we had a poor first half. I think we played much better in the second half, where Panionios with three chances scored twice. I think all these injuries took quite a toll on the team. It was quite evident in today's game. It was a good game with two teams evenly matched. The luckier team won today.

Regarding the team conceding goals, it's been a common theme through out the season that we generally out play the opposition, but yet manage to concede goals from the opposition having fewer chances than us.  This should not be surprising when you essentially have a young squad.  When Klaus is one of your more senior players ... well what do you expect.  What is surprising is that we as fans expect consistency and "steel" (ie. the ability to grind out results) from a young squad.  It just isn't going to happen.  Not yet anyway.  Maybe in a few seasons but of course that won't happen because by then we'll have a completely new roster.  The table doesn't lie.  We are 5th for a reason.

the lack of an experienced player that would step in and take the team on his shoulders is quite evident this season. There is no one that would take this leadership role. You would think Klaus would be one of those guys, but he is more interested in getting a new tattoo and party with his girlfriend in some Athens night club.

Tzavellas should not be playing as CB. He should be playing LB, which is his position. Instead Malezas loses his spot in the lineup. The CB spot should be reserved for Vitor, Chatziisaias and Malezas. Tzavellas should be sharing his position with Leovac.

Tzavellas has been good enough at CB to get a NT call-up as well as getting scouted by Serie A clubs Sassuolo (twice!) and Atalanta. He may have been a LB most of his career, but he's too slow and can't carry the ball well enough to play the position against legit top-flight competition (imagine him guarding Candreva or Cuadrado in Serie A? Ha!). Vitor was the travesty against Panionios, and in general the team defended poorly in their own 1/3. Everyone had a hand in that debacle.
