Nea Bafra

Michailidis back there gives me no confidence, but this is the kind of game the kid needs to build his experience.

No I'm definitely anti PAOK you've worked me out. I'm secretly a Russian bot hired by a competing oligarch to Ivan. I have come to this forum that is so popular to post my propaganda in order to convert the 30 or so PAOK fans to sacrifice their first born children to Marinakis. You can find proof of this if you just click my username, you can do a deep dive on all my posts to satisfy your conspiracy theory loving heart, when you've finished your detective work I expect you to send the AFP around to my place. Also on a serious note, work on your comprehension. I didn't say we didn't lose the match in midfield and I didn't say it was Garcia's fault we lost the match [I also didn't say to take out Iggi] so if you're going to go name calling at least do me the courtesy of understanding what I wrote. I was specifically talking about the choice to play Crespo and keep him there for far too long.

Smack myself across the face? Not a PAOK fan? I make a balanced assessment of my thoughts and this is the kind of childish rubbish you have in response? Let me add to my statements previously and hopefully you can follow on. Garcia made a positional move with Crespo. Let's assume his hands were tied to start with. He made no change until we were behind for this position. Once the game started did he have options to adjust? Yes, at least two that I can think of. He could have a] switched to a 4-4-2 system were Crespo only needs to defend, not try and put in a cross or play an attacking ball. b] switched Crespo for Ingason. From what we've seen Sveri likes to get forward and personally I think as a wing back he'd be more of an upgrade to the position than Crespo is a reduction at centre back. but what do I know I'm just an anti-paok fan who needs a smack in the face.

Why can't we blame Garcia for Crespo performance? Does he not know what Crespo can and can't do? Did he not watch the UCL playoff where Crespo played in the same position? Tell me, if he put Zivko Zivkovic in the same position and he screwed would it not be Garcia's fault? Does this make him a bad coach? No? Was it a mistake? Yes. Did he have few other options? Yes due to issues outside his control and those that predated his promotion. We have to blame Garcia for Crespo's performance because Crespo played to his maximum which in this position is extremely limited.

This one has to fall on Abel's shoulders.

Our midfield is non existent

Na to. We invited the pressure and there it is

Zahavi dropping deep into midfield to get a touch and then pushing forward is giving us issues

TAKE THAT BACK he only gets injured in training

Happy to sit in on a test call to provide feedback on volumes if you think that will help.

How are you guys doing it? Live on youtube?

Our CF may as well be positioned on a different continent we are so disconnected from them. Having said that Swiderski moves much better to try and make up for the lack of link up

You're in the US, so odds are it's you anyway regardless of your late night proclivities

this is the reason I no longer watch champions league once we are no longer involved. If I wanted to watch the same teams over and over again ad nauseum I'd be happy, but variety is the spice of life. the only 'big' club I have a soft spot for is BVB because they genuinely seem to care for their supporters

Rebbe literally explained that he is not the only person making the decisions. did you not listen to the interview? You think Ivan doesn't get what he wants [or at least is willing to pay for] ?

biggest takeaway so far is that we have an understanding with Sporting to loan him back to PAOK in January. Not finalised but the clubs desire

it's entertaining to say the least. is the translator an aussie?

thank god. he reminds me of the guy who pretended to be george weah's cousin and got on the pitch for southampton

As long as the cash is in the bank before he goes, I'm ok with this.

Have you seen Man U twitter?

@Blackhawk it's 2:15am AESST the next day. We have just ticked over to daylight savings time. FYI

tote g*****ikame pashali he is a highly skilled, passionate and active idiot. go to the 28 minute mark of the first half. OEK and he hassle kaio off the ball and they counter, he has a player free left and a player free right, what choice does he make? keeps running straight down the middle into the hands of 3 defenders. call it a brain fart but this is typical of this boys play.

on paper him subbing pelkas made no sense. pelkas was on a yellow, could have had a second. when things got desperate pelkas is not smart enough to keep his feet to himself. the hardest one for me to understand was the taking varela off instead of michailidis. varela at least has some presence from set pieces and michailidis was very poor.
