PAOK has never won penalty shootout in European competition!!!

Penalties

Does not look like we have strength to win this game.

Almost 2:2

We were giving them too much posession.

It was a matter of time.

The Danes will have to open up and give our offense more space. I think we will have our chances to score.

Third goal should seal it. Until then we will be on the verge of a heart attack. We need to be careful defensively. They did create couple chances to score.

What a goal by Vierinha

Zivkovic after a play created by Colak. 1:0

I would rather have Biseswar fresh in the second half (and possibly extra time).

Here is a chance for Colak to prove that he can score outside of Croatia and Sweden. Lucescu is leaning towards starting with Ingason and Crespo as CB's. I would have gone with Michailidis instead of Crespo. Knowing Lucescu, he will start Biseswar. Not sure if he can be very effective playing non-stop full 90 minute games without any brakes. It will be an interesting game, which I think will go down to the wire. We just need to find a way to score goals.

Ingason and PAOK agreed to a 3-year contract extension. He will sign with the team until June 2025.

It will never happen. The Superleague teams will not allow it. More logical solution would be to limit the foreign players in the lower divisions.

Zivkovic and Augusto are at 6 yellow cards. If and when they receive their 7th card they will have to sit out two games.

Aris had better chances to win the game. Paschalakis made some good saves. IMHO he was our best player on the field. I also liked the play of Soares. Looks like a good signing by Boto. For few games now I have been disappointed with Zivkovic. He is definitively not in a good form right now. I think he needs to be rested. Big game on Thursday. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion.

Common Akpom

Almost 1:0 down Michailidis saves our ass.
