Not really a great game. Slow pace. I don't think Shakhov even played today - he's got a boo boo on his foot (hasn't trained for a few days)

Goal Pelkas!

Goal Koulouris!

These Aryan children wearing the oversized PAOK shirts are absolutely adorable

Crespo/Giannoulis/Korovesis/Jairo/Koulouris in for Tzavellas/Leovac/Cimirot/Jalma/Klaus

Dokari by Jalma, nice play by Pelkas and Klaus to get him the ball

Vellidis/Kitsiou/Malezas/Charisis/Pelkas have come in for Glykos/Matos/Pougouras/Tziolis/Mistakidis respectively.

Not a very impressive first half. Wish we could get better camera angles on this, too.

Truly bizarre

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Tzavellas wins by making Koulouris run for an unlikely save.

Watch out Pana - if you say his name three times he appears and then you're a target too :( :( :( :(

Doesn't invalidate my point. The only surprise here should be that he is surprised that he isn't given godlike control. Due diligence should be done on both sides (so, hopefully someone at Lazio feels some pain over this too).

Assuming he's leaving for what you're referring to - would it not have been more admirable to, oh, I don't know...not take the job in the first place?

For those who are still dreaming of sucking off Bielsa - he's left Lazio after TWO DAYS on the job. Unhinged.

Skanky sounds mad :(

After watching the sideline camera with the replay of the goals...there wasn't a single goal that we scored, that even a 2nd-division club would have let through. So you're right on that front - this game really showed us nothing.

Comments in bold.

^ there we go

I hadn't heard that, interesting. In other news, Savvidis has signed with Panionios (PAOK retains rights to 30% of his resale value), for two years. I believe they got him for free. Varela is no longer training due to what seems to be a somewhat serious injury (out for at least a month?). I can't see us continuing to pursue him now.

How good is this new guy?

Shakhov hurt his foot, did not train today. Now I know he's PAOK.

Iraklis is a team that would set off a lot of warning lights for me...

Someone's gotta give, as blackhawk said. We'll see who. There are more transfer rumors of a second Romanian guy that we're after. Personally, I don't think we're as desperate in that position as others think. Klaus/Koulouris to start, and Pereyra/Mistakidis/Jairo all can theoretically play there. More than theoretically for Pereyra in fact, since Anastasiadis had played him as CF for like half of that season. We def need another CB though. A good one. Care to elaborate? Is this just to keep pressure on those-who-would-think-themselves-shoo-ins?
