We have started being careless in our end in the last few minutes.

It's nice to see in Koulouris, when the coach gives you a chance you go and grab it. This has to make Klaus sit down, think and try to do better. Competition is good.

Goooooooooooooal 2:0 Koulouris

Koulouris

Goooooal

We had like 5 corners and 5 other set pieces in the first 15 minutes, but nothing to show for it. Looks like a parked school bus in front of Tripoli goalie.

Antenna Satellite/Pacific has the rights to the Greek Cup games, and they are actually showing the two early round games this weekend. One live and one on tape. Also notice a disturbing thing on Antenna Satellite's web site. They are apparently showing some of the Superleague games on tape delay instead of live despite the fact that there are no game conflicts. Check out this week's TV schedule: http://home.earthlink.net/~paokfc/GreekSoccerTVSchedules.htm

Really surprised me that he left Pereyra AND Koulouris off the squad and went only with Klaus as the lone striker. Also starting Pelkas was a mistake. Poor coaching by Ivic in this game.

0:0 final score. Not a bad result considering who we played. Next two games with will be important. If we can get 4 points out of those games we should be in good shape. Standings: 1. PAOK 1 2. Fiorentina 1 3. Liberec 1 4. Qarabag 1 Next round: Slovan Liberec - PAOK Fiorentina - Qarabag

That was handball and should have been a penalty for PAOK

Big chance by Rodrigues.

And he's putting in Thiam replacing Klaus. BTW Vitor scored for Hapoel.

Why not put Mystakidis in? Very poor coaching by Ivic in this game.

I think we are playing 3-5-2 formation, which would be a first for Ivic.

What a dismal game in the second half.

Shakhov in for Pelkas Crespo in for Campos

And Crespo coming in as well.

Shakhov coming in.

Big save by Glykos after a big mistake by Pelkas.

Looks like no changes in the lineup to start the 2nd half.

Pelkas does look improved, but still not at the level to play in a game like this. Specially when you have better players in his position. Agree about Mystakidis. Put him in along with Beseswar.

Halftime 0:0 I think starting Pelkas was a mistake by Ivic. I'd like to see him replaced by Biseswar in the second half. Also I don't believe Klaus has touched the ball at all in this half. Fiorentina is quite dangerous offensively, so we have to be very careful. We did have couple defensive lapses, but so far Fiorentina did not take advantage of them. it will take a lot of improvement to win this game.

Much improved the last 10 minutes or so.

Fiorentina the far superior team in the first 15 minutes.

Tzavellas has been shaky so far.
