Would not be surprised if we don't win this game.

----------------------- Paschalakis -------------------- Matos - Crespo - Malezas - Deligiannidis -------- Canas --------------------- Shakhov -------- Limnios ----------- Biseswar ------------ Pelkas ----------------------------- Mak --------------------------- Don't understand why Matos is starting in this game.

El Kaddouri, Rey, Zambrano, Varela, Leovac and Cimirot were cut from the squad for the game tomorrow. here are the players that were selected: Πασχαλάκης, Σιαμπάνης, Δεληγιαννίδης, Μάτος, Μαλεζάς, Πούγγουρας, Κρέσπο, Σάκχοφ, Κάτσε, Κάνιας, Μαουρίσιο, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Βιεϊρίνια, Λημνιός, Κάμπος, Μακ, Πρίγιοβιτς

I want PAO, Xanthi, Panionios wins this round. And of course PAOK too.

Very good result for PAOK.

Until yesterday we were one of the only 3 teams that were undefeated. The others were Atromitos and Levadeiakos. Those two still are, although Atromitos is playing AEK as I write this. What I am trying to say is that we are still in the race. We could still be in first place after the end of this round. I think the frustration among the PAOK fans is that we could have easily been ahead by 5 to 7 points right now if we were taking some of the games more seriously. There is just no reason for not beating Larisa and Apollon, or at least tying Olympiakos yesterday. Lucescu is still making bad coaching decisions. Yesterday was no different. When you are down to am average Olympiakos team, why do you put in Shakhov? To hold on to a 1:0 loss? You have to go in to tie the game. Biseswar and Pelkas should have been thrown into the game right after Olympiakos scored. Instead he waited until the last 15 minutes to only puyt Biseswar on the field. Anyway, we will need to improve offensively. Vierinha and Mak need to get their s%$#! together. There is no doubt that Olympiakos and AEK will improve after their European season ends. That's why it was important to accumulate as many points as possible during the first 8 rounds. We now need to get maximum points in much tougher games. BTW Atromitos just scored and is beating AEK 1:0. About 30 minutes left in the game.

The race for the title is wide open.

What a shame to lose a game on such a lousy goal. Should have been 0:0 at best.

Biseswar getting ready

Campos coming in.

Shakhov in for Mauricio

Bad start to second half. We need to regsin out composure.

What a stupid goal

I would throw on Pelkas as soon as possible. Worried about Matos with the yellow. He could have easily had a second one.

Let's go PAOK

I am fairly sure we will score in this game. The question is if we can limit their offensive threat. We also need to keep our composure and not retaliate. I am sure that they will play physical game and with the help of the ref they will get away with it.

10,000 fans at today's practice at Toumba:

Georgios Kominis is the ref for the game. This guy is anti-PAOK, with severe complex when he calls our games. There are several games where he screwed us. We will need to be careful not to accumulate cards early in the game.

Not sure if Campos is 100%, but he sure could be helpful in this game, but that would mean playing in Vierinha's spot. It's obvious Vierinha is not quite ready. He has been a disappointment so far if you ask me, but I don't see him not starting. He knows what these games are all about. I would play Cimirot along with Mauricio. I too think Biseswar should get a start, but we know he won't. I think pash's xx's will be Cimirot, El Kaddouri and Pelkas.

# 48 in the latest rankings.

This is not really the game (or any of the derbies for that matter) that decide the championships. It's the results against the "smaller" teams that do. And this season we already dropped 6 points against such teams. As a result of this we need to get some of those points back. Beating Olympiakos and AEK away will surely make up for the lost points. Will be interesting to see what lineup Lucescu will field in this game. Seeing some of the Olympiakos games this season, their defense is quite suspect. They are good in the air, but if the ball stays on the ground with quick passes we can unlock their defense. Because of this if I was Lucescu I would consider keeping Prijovic on the bench and going with some speed upfront (Mak, Vierinha, Pelkas). I would also start with Biseswar as dekari.

The first game is they. We must not lose in Zagreb, and hope for one goal on counter attacks. Besides winning, a 1:1 tie would be an ideal result.

The goal by Larisa that was not counted allegedly due to the offside position of the scorer:
