Lack of motivation. Lack of ambition. Lack of organization. Lack of focus. Lucescu...the (im)possible return?!

Not convinced with this performance. A lot of work and dynamics to be consolidated.

After ~ 1.5 months with García, I would expect more. 4-3-3 with poor pass precision, definition and unclarity. El Khaddouri and Murg seem too "dispersed", they need to support and find criterion to progress in the center-mid. With Boloni, Pana should keep showing reasonable adherence and resistance to the plan trying to balance and maintain equilibrium.

Some rotation post-Europe League but poor performance today. A lot of intra and inter-spaces conceeded. No real connections when advancing to the area. A lot of non-sense and innocuous crosses. García needs to consolidate its simple, its practical 4-3-3, improving team's compaction.

We are loosing...García is taking too long for the subs, changes.

Just the first match with García but immediately the obvious and simple change to to 4-2-3-1. Hope to be the beginning of a wonderfull adventure!

I've posted here several times about Abel and his tactical farse. First with a naif and bluffing ambitious 4-4-2 but exacerbating erros but no effective connections, attacking solutions. Then this season, a conservative 3-4-2-1 and then Repeated history. Even understanding the focus on equilibrium, balance, I always expected more willingless to invade, more desire, more risk. Abel is too "pseudo". Too much time to see any improvement in the team. And it didn’t happen. I don't know García, but excited to see changes in tactics and style for the near future. And all individuals rising individual level with the support of a solid team.

Abel, what a sad tenure at Thessaloniki. Glad to see him leaves but suprised how can he attract Palmeiras' interest (or this is just one more case of agents-business-partners?). Don't know García, but hopefully he can confirm the very good performance with the kids. It's urgent to find some ambition and performance stability. I'm not finding any realistic alternatives which could ensure some "confidence".

Pablo García, is his managerial record with PAOK U20, above 80% in 3-4 seasons?! Really? Don't know his tactics, his preferred style of play. PAOK need someone to impact immediately. Lucescu is impossible but it seems crucial to be someone who knows PAOK internally and also the SuperLeague itself as a whole, all the "tricks" and traps, the difficult stadiums and grounds.

So so obvious. From the early beginning. Worse than a bluff. Impossible Lucescu...

Suffer too much against teams that close spaces. Embarassing unability to find practical solutions to overcome these systems. For how long Abel? It's clear that he will not work here. Too early in the season for a discredit horizon (again). Now, we all know the story. No faith at all.

The “warm” sky of Athens… but OAKA is empty. Until when? Carrera's AEK, from the usual 4-3-3 (which he has used since Spartak days) for a reformulated 3-4-3 / 5-2-3. Mirrored in Abel's PAOK. Good pace but no ideas. PAOK with more ball but insisting on long ones. Waste of time. No depth. AEK more on hold and exploring the spaces. Giannoulis non-stop runs and criterion with Tzolis. They will be the next ones to leave (Pelkas scored in his debut for Fenerbahce). Abel taking a long time to change. Finishing in a 4-1-3-2 / 4-2-4, more chaotic, more "anomalous" in attack, but the approach helped and 1-1. Has he captured the signal? Last season, Abel pulled out “smart guy” in an unsupported make-up ambition. He exacerbated mistakes and paid deardly, conceding too many goals. He adjusted to a 3-4-3 / 5-2-3 where he avoids playing from behind, hits the front, flying balls over the midfield, to protect losses and counters and go to the 2nd ball. But now team suffers more when trying to invade small spaces and low block defenses. Transfers...some arrive, some left, (low) individual quality but at Greek dimension. This season, beyond SuperLeague, there is also Europe. At the crossroad...... he need to quickly consolidate without complicating the things. Flexibility without too much variability, with the shield of perceiving the best chemistries. Many doubts on his evolution as a coach.

Abel, you were late... https://www.sdna.gr/podosfairo/770416_ampel-argises

Abel: "Good match to see. Congratulations to my players, they respected the game plan". Final hunger, spirit is praiseworthy. But we need to improve connection between lines, "junction" and minimize disorder. And obviously to speed up incorporation of new comers.

"Draw is fair" - Carrera, satisfied. Change in the system may have impacted.

What a pitty this last chance....

Let's go 1-2 still possible.

GOAAAAL Murg!!

Giannoulis, infinite runs. 4-1-3-2/4-2-4 to try to at least a draw. But too much dispersion and poor precision. Can't we prepare something simpler, practical? Missing Lucescu.

With ball I believe he can do better. But it's his typical. No surprises. We need to filter and create more at center midfield (anyone on the bench?). Insisting in direct balls when thae have three center backs, it will be hard to find depth.

Esiti with ball....poor. No ideas in center midfield. Senseless direct balls.

Too passive .....in 1-0 by Ansarifard. Sharp finish by Tzolis...

Giannoulis e Tzolis, how they are still "here" in Greece?!

Giannoulis - what a speedy train! Up and down.
