Tough game against a tough opponent. The players need to overcome all the psychological problems they have after the recent games. They need to believe in themselves that they are capable to win this game. Chalov has some injury issues following yesterday's game and is doubtful.

We will need to beat Young Boys, Brann and Ludogorets in order to qualify to the next stage. The 9 points plus the one point from the tie with Maccabi should be enough to qualify. I really doubt if we can snatch any points from Betis, Lille and Lyon.

Well deserved for Michailidis. He has been solid and is the only bright spot on defense this season for PAOK.

Thankfully he won't get any game time!

Giannis Michailidis (PAOK) got a call for the Ethniki. He replaces the injured Retsos.

He wouldn't be up for it, that's for sure

The plan was to keep it tight and hopefully pinch a goal, which we managed to do. The timing of their equaliser no doubt deflated the us mentally. Regardless of that, it probably was a matter of a time until they equalised. Konstantelias was good and our only real threat. I thought while we were keeping ourselves compact Michailidis was also quiet solid. Bianco looked to be a hard working defensive midfielder, who didn't mind a challenge but was pretty safe with the ball. The pressure continues to mount, a loss against Olympiacos and who knows what will happen with Lucescu. Although it's hard to be confident in us getting a win given our current form, reality is a victory puts us back to the top of the table heading into the 2nd international break of the season. Showing how volatile the situation is. Big picture Europe wise, this was a game that we had penciled in as a loss regardless of their form. The 3 key games left are Young Boys, Brann and Ludogorets. 2 of those 3 won today so they won't be easy by any stretch. Our performances and form needs a massive improvement, nothing is lost yet but the early signs are not overly encouraging.

Would you be up for bringing back Conceicao?

I genuinely question if Lucescu is trying to force his way out

Every. Single. Pass. Goes right to one of their players. For four games in a row. Think Lucescu's noticed?

3:1. Way too easy for them to create chances to score. And they do.

So much for getting a tie. 2:1.

We have been outplayed at every aspect of the game. Pavlenka kept us in it in the first half before we scored the goal. Not surprisingly they tied in the dying seconds of the first half. If we can squeak out a 1:1 tie out of this game it will be a miracle.

Konstantelias "dribbling" the ball out of bounds so the Celta player can't do a throw-in 30 seconds after they get carded for doing the same thing is really stupid. Anyway, as I type this they score the 1-1. We have been pretty garbage imo.
