Is all this stemming from his celebrations V OFI? Had one bad moment v Chelsea where he flapped very badly at a corner(show me a keeper that's played in Greece who hasn't had flaws) but apart from that I thought he was one of our best. If it's a question of his provoking the OFI fans, who knows the m*****es he heard from the stands, he lost his cool it happens all over the world. In Greece it happens more often. Anyways looks like he'll start vs AEK as his hearing has been pushed back to early next week. Must win game this one, but we all know that. Interested to see what Razvan does in the middle of the pitch, whether it's Wernbloom or Canas who partners Maurico. Biseswar to start please

Overall record sits at 2 draws and 7 losses. 0 wins. We've scored 3 goals and conceded 23 in those games. Historically we are awful against the English

Refs from overseas for derbies is a great idea. We saw in last years cup final which had 3 red cards and a penalty not one decision was argued by the players. They accepted it and moved on. Has this been enforced by FIFA or did the Superleague commission agree to having foreign refs for derbies?

Optus sport has all the rights for the Champions league and Europa league for us down under

We've been in the group with Aris (had to be) Ergotelis and Aititios Spata. We'll play Aris at Toumba and the other 2 away https://www.paokfc.gr/nea/20180918-o-omilos-tou-kupellou-elladas/

Nah nah he's alright, theio savva said so.

Pasxalakis could be looking at a ban for his "celebration" after our 2nd goal on Saturday. http://www.novasports.gr/podosfairo/ellada/super-league/article/408011/se-duskoli-thesi-o-pashalakis/

His general play wasn't bad pash but I'm sorry if you lose the ball 4-5 times in the spots where he lost it then you've had a bad game. Seemed like it was a directive of OFI as soon as Canas was on the ball 2-3 OFI players were charging at him. I agree with bananas, he was important in his first season but the team has grown since then and he is now a depth player. (or should be) You wanna see Paschalakis really angry re banana? get on that stool and tell him he's hair cut is trash, then you'll see rage

Karelis looked good, moved around the front line a lot gave an option outside of the box he needs a bit of time to properly gel but I was impressed. Wernbloom didn't have a huge impact, had one moment where his touch was really bad but I'm putting that down to rust/one of those freak things. Interested to see if and when Pontus works his way into the starting XI. Lucescu we know doesn't like to tinker with the line-up especially when we are winning. But Canas was atrocious yesterday, one of the worst games I've seen him play for us.

JABA! 3-1 ! Beautifully worked goal

WELL after losing his spot to Ospina for 2 games (In which time Ospina conceded 5 goals) he is starting again tonight at home v Fiorentina. First 20 mins, he made a solid save on a strike from distance. Seems like Mr.Ancelotti keeps changing his mind on who his no.1 is. A solid performance today will go a long way to cementing his spot in the starting XI, at least in the short term

Great comeback to turn that around within the half. Early days we were looking sloppy, looked much better after Biseswar equalised. He also grabbed the assist our boy Diego, the man just produces when called upon! Hopefully we go on with this and grab another couple of goals in the 2nd half @pash I think the OFI players were complaining about Paschalkias celebration and that he was egging on the crowd, just normal Greek things you know :)

Much needed goal, we have looked far from good Biseswar looks hurt after that goal, hopefully nothing too serious but seems like he's in a bit of pain

Canas has given away 3 times already in the first 20 mins and it cost us a goal. Need a lift from everyone atm

Love the line-up. So attacking. It is a little surprising that Karelis has been given the nod over Akpom he must've really impressed Lucescu. Also a little surprised no start for Wernbloom, I guess he isn't 100% fit yet. Hopefully there's a stream around for this one

No Kitsiou at all, I guess given that Matos is suspended for the Europa league opener Kitsiou will be getting the start in that game

bravo @Alphonse speaking some sense. All the guys getting hammered for a poor performance (donis lazaros etc) were the same guys these posters wanted starting the game. Now that we lost (through bad luck more than poor play imo) it's "we are so embarrassing, can't believe Skibbe is still in a job, I called it Lazaro is s%$#!, donis is koutsianikoulis 2.0. It's quiet funny We are playing much better football than we have in a few years, quality of the opponent probably has something to do with that but never the less. Happy with how we are looking but I pray Mitro is fit in a month when we have our next round of matches because without him we struggle (not exactly a news flash)

He missed a training session at some stage last week with a minor knock but I believe he was back in full training a day or 2 later No need to worry my sweet buttercup

Match topic for the Hungary game? Looks like Mitroglou is unlikely to play on Tuesday. Huge blow. Donis has to start at centre forward (assuming he's fit) Zeca and Bouchalakis good to go. http://www.novasports.gr/podosfairo/diethneis/nations-league/article/406591/ponaei-o-mitroglou-ponaei-i-ethniki/

Wow surely this thing does not happen at the NT level? Fortounis can be a bit of a solo artist at teams and be a little selfish could it just have been that. Very disappointing if that's true and the reason behind it is the PAOK/olympiakos rivalry.

I read it's because he's still suspended? I thought he got 2 yellows in the cup final which should equal a one match ban, so not sure why he is still suspended

Ah that's cool! I got us with Sevilla, Dinamo Zagreb and Dudelange from Luxembourg. Tricky but I think we'd come through 2nd if that's how it fell

No call for Pasxalakis, for whatever reason managerial or otherwise Gianniotis seems to be favoured by Skibbe. Could be argued his error vs benfica cost him, but I feel on the body of work he's put together he deserves the call. Gotta love the Greek NT Pelkas called up as was Giannoulis and Koulouris. The ethniki needs a striker asap, I kind of can't believe Kolouris is getting called up.

Siovas not getting a call is criminal. Especially with Retsos and Kyriako injured. I felt Pasxalakis deserved a call up, despite his error v Benfica. Maybe I'm biased. Man are we thin at centre forward, Kolouris as our no.2 at the senior level? It's pretty bad, hopefully Karelis finally leaves Genk today and gets some mins.

You'd think between Jaba/Warda/Bieseswar/Limnios we have enough cover out wide. Not to mention El Kaddouri, although I don't love him out wide Lucescu has shown he doesn't mind playing him there. We also have Lamprou hanging around so surely we are more than covered
