PRAISE JESUS

No harm no foul in the end. The Derby ends in a 1-1 draw and AEK also drops points at Larissa. We remain level with Olympiacos and AEK despite our poor result on Saturday. Aris also just a point behind.

VS MATCHUP: PAOK Thessaloniki FC – Maccabi Tel Aviv COMPETITION: Europa League – Lgue Pgase – MD1 DATE: 24-September-2025 TIME: 19:45 EEST (16:45 UTC, 11:45 CDT, 02:45 AEST next day) CITY/STADIUM: Thessaloniki – Toumba Stadium Stadium (28,708) REFEREES: TELEVISION: COSMOTE Sport (Greece)

Pressure goes up again, 2nd time in a relatively short period this season that our backs are against the wall. Maccabi was already a massive game given it is one of our 4 winnable ones in the Europa League, but coming off these last 2 results increases its importance. We created enough chances to win the game, but when you start slow and are pretty lacklustre for a half you leave yourself a lot to do in 45 minutes. Patience with Lucescu seems to be at an all time low from the fans. It feels like he has a lost about 20-30% of his support just by not doing what the average football fan considers an obvious move (playing 2 strikers for the last 10 minutes against 10 men, changing formation etc.) Again these are simple solutions, but it is no doubt frustrating when you watch you team pepper the opposition goal for a half and the only change is in personnel. As always our response is key and will give us a good indication into the mentality of the team for this season. We simply must beat Maccabi and then Asteras away.

another very bad result for us

FT 0-0. Threw away 2 valuable points. Despite 78% possession.

wtf is that sub? Chalov for Giakoumakis? Why not take out a defender and play 2 CF

Chalov in for Giakoumakis. Do it Fyodor!

Red card for them after VAR intervention

VAR checking for red card against PAN. I feel like Olympiakos

Nvm goal taken away. Foul on Giakoumakis before

Lucescu is officially on the chopping block

And they score the 0-1 after a counter

This is not looking good. I am getting on a plane from Chania to Athens. Hopefully when I land, there will be good news awaiting.

We are stepping up. Zivkovic with a strike justt over the crossbar.
