I didn't think Panserraikos was that fortunate?

Bone thugs

Thanx for your match report guys. Together with the goals it gives me a good impression of the game as I was not able to watch because of my work and right after that bringing our twins to the training. Have a good day at work, Bajewy! And have a good sleep, Banana! The draw will be tomorrow 12:00 Greek time.

Why? It's only 6pm in Austria.

And I can go to bed.

Random draw. Tudor said he wants either Iraklis or Olympiakos in the next round.

Solid performance, even if we did leave it late to score the first goal. Mystakidis was excellent. Cimirot and Charisis solid again in the middle. If Charisis keeps this up, this kid could be NT material one day. Yeah, I said it. Mak, Jairo, Tzavellas, Vitor good as well. Kitsiou and Leovas a little quiet. Good to see Berbatov on the scoresheet and oh my god, we kept a clean sheet. Might make the score line my computer background.

I really want to see Mystakidi been given a run of 4-5 games playing as a no.10, give him a chance to show us what he can do in his actual position

As long as your defence stays put against teams like Estonia , Cyprus, Bosnia , who are much inferior to the level and football talent of our defenders, our problem will be , as it has always been , the goal. Since doing crosses from Torosidis and Holebas does not seem to work much ,at least not with 1 tall center forward, with 2 tall we ll have twice the efficiency to reach a player of ours with a cross but to also score. Apart from that , we have no wingers, and putting wingers is a waste of space , as it s been obvious from our last campaign. Our best winger has been Holebas and he is not even a winger, So you realise the struggle. Id put 2 creative players like Fortounis and Taxtsidis do the crosses that they know to do , and with 2 CF with such a nice shot, our offence can secure a 2nd spot. All this in the ideal circumstances of team finding it's previous performance and confidence.

Mystakidis on for Leovac EDIT: Just incase you didn't know

0:0 half time Things are not looking good.

It's PAOK against a parked bus so far. If and when we score the first goal, the flood doors will open.

Damn pash, those numbers on the jersey never bothered me until you brought it to my attention. Now I'm going cross eyed looking at them.

I've never been a fan boy of any particular system. Use what suits your squad, and change according to your opponent. Having said that, the 4-2-3-1 on the weekend gave us lots of width. The right flank with Kitsiou/Jairo and the left with Leovac/Mak worked well. It also meant Jairo/Mak could concentrate on attacking without having to worry so much about their defensive duties since they had a full back behind them. Having said that, Charisis and Cimirot were excellent. I am keen to see them play together in the middle again. Please stay injury free ....

for me Fortounis is the only certainty.... the issue are then : 1) how many of Taxi/Samaris/Petsos/Mandalos fit into our best 11? and who in that combo best compliment each other....it seems Taxi - Samaris are not the best combo... 2) who plays wide? 3) where can we best utilise Kone? Maniatis at 30 can no longer be considered ahead of Taxi, Samaris and now Petsos (Werder next season) who are all younger , better footballers and play at higher level each week.... Maniatis would not get a game ahead of Cambiasso, Kasami, Milivojevic....and Bouchalakis (if fit)...

:: snaps fingers :: YOU GO, GIRL You're not making me feel anxious by saying that - if Charisis and Cimirot are better players, then by all means let them play!
