A game with two very poor sides that only got better from the 60th minute onwards. Our midfield was once again AWOL, there is no discipline whatsoever. Varela and Ingason are both liabilities when it comes to keeping the ball. They only time I have confidence in them is to win aerial balls. I think Krmencik has to start over Karol from now on. He is stronger and a more clinical striker. Karol desperately needs to hit the gym. Diamantopoulos had one decision to make in his 20-minute cameo and he was inept of making the right one. A clear throw in for PAOK in AEK's third of the field while we were pressing and he gave in to pressure from AEK players. It just shows how incompetent Greek referees are. ΧΑΡΤΙΝΟΙ, ΘΑ ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΑΤΕ ΝΑ ΕΙΧΕ ΜΕΤΡΗΣΕΙ ΤΟ ΓΚΟΛ ΤΟΥ ΒΑΡΕΛΑ!

The other guy in our team who can finish.

The only guy who can finish.

Really wish those clowns in the stands would stop heckling.

Absolutely shocking. None of these players have any confidence to finish a chance.

Ingason runs towards Zivkovic with the ball instead of just playing the 10 yard pass. Then when he realises he can't go anywhere he gives it to Zivko who is promptly closed down by two AEK players. I am telling you - Ingason is stealing a living.

So many mistakes by both sides. So many unnecessary fouls by some of our players - it's no wonder why they play in the Greek league. Nice play from Augusto and Warda, Karol should have scored that.

It was never about his ability. It is his consistency that is the issue.

The g@y-bros complaining that they will play against PAS with one less training session than them. Strange how they don't seem to come up with a solution. They way I see it, they could play on Thursday and PAS would still have an extra day. Shame the ESL did not go ahead. It would have been nice potentially see them go and leave us all in peace (providing what the newspaper Kokkinos Protathlitis was true, which it wasn't).

We aren't good enough and I expect a tough game mid-week against AEK. Where is Savvidis?

There are people out there stealing a living while claiming to be football players.

Awful decision by the referee. It just shows what a joke the Greek league is. If you are going to bring in quality referees that are supposedly better than the Greeks, then at least do it properly instead of some B list Europeans. Lyratzis does not seem interested in taking his chances. I backed him at the beginning of the season, however it's obvious he isn't good enough (like most of this team).

I just feel there should be a dedicated training to not committing stupid fouls.

Τι βλέπουν τα ματάκια μας!

Είπε αυτός που σε σχεδόν κάθε του σχόλιο βρίσκει τρόπο να πει κάτι για τον ΠΑΟΚ (και ας μην έχει να κάνει το thread με τον ΠΑΟΚ). Τέλος πάντων, σας αφήνω.

Είπε αυτός που έπαιζε κόντρα σε 10 σε δυο συνεχόμενα μάτς χάρη σε ανύπαρκτες κόκκινες. Να'ναι καλά ο Βαγγέλας.

No idea why they were only able to schedule this now.

Ταιριάζουν απόλυτα με το "DNA" σας όμως.

Saw the second half. Our mediocre defence deserves medals considering our central midfield was non-existent. Against a proper side we would have most surely lost that one today. Also not sure what Pablo was thinking putting Warda on up front. Had we conceded or lost after that decision, I am sure everyone would be writing about this experiment of his. I am usually the first to criticise 'Superman' but he made an outstanding save in the final moments. I hope a scout saw it at least. What an embarrassment it must be to support OARIS. Banners up all over the stadium, playing the same chants non-stop on the speaker, shouting every time one our players touches theirs, a team consisting of ex-Oly players, your best season in years and an awful PAOK can still match you. What a save by Cuesta as well against Zivkovic. It's amazing what he can do when he isn't playing against Olympiakos.

PAO win surely.

Tough game. They always seem to have extra motivation, however I think it's time our players step up to the job. I wouldn't be surprised if another episode is created that either sees a new corruption accusation or an under the table payment to do damage to our players.

The ESL is over before it started. This is, of course, UEFA's own-doing.

Saw the last 25 mins. By that time it seems we had taken out foot of the pedal. I hope the players take this momentum into the next game against their B team.

Surely it isn't hard to find a keeper better than the ones that we have.

He is gone. The clause that sees him bought by Norwich was activated when they sealed promotion.
