According to Ivic, Cimirot carried a slight injury from Sunday's game. In that case he should have included Kace in the squad. Sounds like excuses to me. I think Ivic's biggest mistake was going into the game with offensive mind set.
Listening to Ivic during his press conference. He should stop the excuses and concentrate on putting the best team on the field. There is no excuse for his poor coaching today.
We gifted the final to Panathinaikos. They deserved the win as they were better on the field. We only had one chance to score today and none in the second half. Very poor display by the team in such an important game.
Biseswar and Klaus did not even dress up.
On the bench for PAOK: Siabanis, Kitsiou, Varela, Cimirot, Mattheou, Pelkas, Prijovic
Surprisingly it lloks like Campos is playing on the left side.
They are done discussing. They voted to have the playoffs in the future, and not only that they will now have playout system for relegation as well.
Also this playoff disease appears to be spreading. I read today on some Czech site that the Czech league will adopt a playoff system starting next season.
Leovac got his 7th yellow card and will miss the last two regular season SL games.
Shakhov and Mystakidis are sitting at 6 cards. Shakhov will probably get get his 7th card inthe game with Platanias, so he will only miss one playoffs game.
Matos, Crespo, Malezas are sitting on 5 cards, so it's very possible that they will miss some playoff action as a result.
9 points is enough to get that extra point. 9/5=1.8 (rounded up to 2)
Seeing that all 4 playoff teams are very good, every extra point will make a difference.
