1:1 final. bad result.

Slovan is easily creating scoring chances against our defense. We should be happy the games is still tied and we can thank Paschalakis for that. This game can go either way.

Poor defensive coverage.

1:1

Akpom

Fixed. I am concerned about Esiti starting. When he starts he usually has a bad game.

PAOK Lineup: ------------- Paschalakis ------------ Taylor - Mihaj - Michailidis - Sidcley ------ Schwab ---------- Esiti ------- Zivkovic ------ Augusto ------ Mitrita -------------- Akpom --------------- BENCH: Zivkovic, Talichmanidis, Lyratzis, Vieirinha, Tsaousis, Giaxis, Tsiggaras, Kurtic, Biseswar, Konstantelias, Swiderski

I believe Giaxis can play as CB. He has been taking part in 'A' squad practices for a while now.

Varela and Murg ruled out for this game following their injuries this past weekend.

The PAOK produced behind the scenes videos for each game are always fun to watch. This one for the game with AEK was quite good. Notice the double middle finger salute by a fan in the stands at the 6:16 minute mark.

OFI enters this game unbeaten, but on the other hand they have not won a single game yet.

They have a worse team than they did 2 years ago, so a win is the only acceptable result. Should be an easy affair, but we got burned by them in the past.

2:0 final. Solid game by PAOK and well deserved win. Biseswar MVP.

No goal. Still 2:0

2:1 now

Kurtic 2:0

Penalty for PAOK

That could have been 2:0

Biseswar gooooal

Yes Varela injured at warm up. We are not starting good.

My 7 day trial to Net TV Plus Plus ends. Hopefully they don't cut it off in the middle of the game.

Our lineup: ------------- Paschalakis ------------ Taylor - Varela - Michailidis - Sidcley ------ Schwab ---------- Kurtic ------ Zivkovic ----- Augusto ---- Biseswar ------------- Swiderski -------------- BENCH: Zivkovic, Mihaj, Lyratzis, Esiti, Tsiggaras, Murg, Mitrita, Akpom, Koutsias

Kagawa and Rodrigo are partly out of the lineup due to the fact that you can't have more that 5 "foreigners" on the games squad.

Turns out our deal with Nova is only for one season and not two as reported earlier.
