We are not winning this game if we continue to play like this.

Once again we are facing a parked bus and we don't have any answers to break it.

To protect the pitch at Toumba.

Reports are that Lucescu will once again use Pelkas along with either Cimirot or Kace as defensive mid. I guess he did not learn his lesson from Monday's game. My lineup for the game: ------------------------ Rey -------------------- Matos - Varela - Crespo - Leovac ------- Cimirot -----------Mauricio ----- Campos ---- El Kaddouri ---- Mak ------------------- Prijovic ------------------ Zambrano, Biseswar and Vierinha to come in as subs.

Game will be played at Kaftanzoglio Stadium without fans.

Yes it was. Every SL home game will be on PAOK TV.

Still only €1.99 introductory price on PAOK TV. I think it will remain at this price until our first game with fans against Panathinaikos. I expect €3.99 or €4.99 for that game.

Well it's reported that Leovac is hurt, so he might have to play. That might be good news going into this game.

Very true. We controlled most of the game, but we screwed everything up at the end. When we had those double digit leads we should have ended it there. Instead we let them back into the game with poor free throws and poor choice of shots. Too bad. We could have easily advanced.

We have a chance to string a series of wins until we face Olympiakos in Round 8. We play Panaitolikos (home), Giannina (home), Larisa (away) and Lamia (home). Let's hope they grab this chance and win those game. It won't be easy because right now the team is basically doing a "2nd pre-season training" in the middle of the season. Hopefully we will have some luck on our side (like the posts we hit deflect in instead of out) and win those four games. Add also the two cup games before we face Olympiakos and the team should be ready and fit to face the big rival.

My mistake. He started but was subbed at the end of the game.

Tough night for Henrique as Qarabag got destroyed by Chelsea. Henrique came in as a sub.

Watching the Olympiakos - Sporting CL game. Olympiakos losing 3:0 at half, which could have easily been 6:0, with Sporting hitting the post twice.

The biggest mistake was that we did not do enough to keep Ivic. He should have never left. After that the next mistake was Savvidis listening to fans opinions about Lucescu who did not want him at PAOK. Instead of signing him when Ivic quit, they got Stanojevic. Aftre that disaster, Lucescu came to PAOK anyway. Valuable time was lost. The team pre-season training was a complete disaster. That is something we will have to pay for the entire season. At this point any talk of a new coach coming in is like throwing in the towel for this season. Lucescu needs to be given time to turn this thing around. We are only two points behind, with a favorable schedule before we play Olympiakos. I don't what we can accomplish by bringing in a new coach. it's not like we will bring some brand name coach. it will probably be Pablo garcia from the U20 team.

Very bad coaching by Lucescu today. It has been quite obvious for a long time that we can't play against parked buses. The Pelkas/Canas duo experiment was a complete disaster. Should have started Kace instead.

Two more points thrown away.

WTF

Nothing to show for in 2nd half.

Campos should have come out. Biseswar was the only player creating something.

Mak in for Biseswar.
