PaokCT

He’s going for the jugular

U like pulling my balls don’t you

Olympics were two years ago…

Not good enough for PAOK? This the same kid who was chosen to represent BRAZIL at the olympics before his injury? On a team that won gold

I wouldn’t trust Kaddouri with my first born. Warda on the other hand…

Him and Mihaj are the two most injury proned people in the whole country of Greece

I wonder if the admin lady is hot

First leg is important, obviously. We are on a high right now. They haven't played a competitive match since December 12th. Their last 4 games they only won one. I haven't checked if they have played any friendlies or have any injuries. The away goals rule is gone, so I think that helps us. We need to at least keep a draw so then a win at home will do it. Even a one goal deficit isn't terrible going into the home leg, as we will have 90 min to win by one to send it to extra time.

Yo, that phantis forum beef was entertaining to watch. Brings back memories of me and Boxou

We need a GK. In expected goal stats, Pashalakis is 14th in the super league at 5.6 more goals than expected. Meaning that he let in 5+ goals that should have been saved. Vaclik is #1

Kurtic on a PK

away goals is a thing, correct? For this cup.

We have to stop the narrative that Olympiakos controls the league. How many penalties have we gotten? Over the past 4 years we have gotten 10 more PK's than any other team in the league. What do you think they say about us and Savvidis?

I like your optimism, but I don't have the same. Well, I agree with a lot you said but then I will get into my thinking. But first, point by point let's go over it. Theoretically, you could put Sastre at RB and Lyratzis at LB, but I like Sidclay too, so having 3 quality wing backs isn't a bad thing. Kurtic to me has a short fuse and when he is distracted by other things he has bad games. He needs to take it down a notch and focus on playing more simple. I have been really impressed with Mitrita as of late. I didn't know he had that burst of speed he showed yesterday. Him on the left and Zivkovic on the right, with Jaba as a sub is quality. Ultimately, we beat a sorry PAO team. They are struggling to make it to the top half of the playoffs so I wouldn't put too much into the win. As it is, we struggled for the first 60 minutes or so. Defense and goalkeeping will lose us games. 9 points behind olympiakos, is the league still possible? Yes. But the fact Razvan didn't play for the win in our game against them, I think that cost us the league. Had we won that game, we'd only be 6 behind and a real possibility of winning the league. I do not have high expectations for the cup. Going there and getting a result will be tough.

Goal of the Year !?

Best CB in the league!

So we spend 3 million euros on a playmaker… and when we need playmaking ability, we don’t sub him in?

Which means he will wait till the 75th min to make a sub. Also, why did Kurtic get a yellow? Yea he got up pissed and ran towards Alexandropolous but he didn’t make contact or say anything. You can’t be carded for almost doing something…

How is this a VAR check? He clears the ball lol

Crossbar Colak

He gets beat every single time down that side. He’s out of position and always drifts too forward.

Vierinha has gotten beat 2/3 teams already. He got embarrassed there

Wtf was Pashalakis doing there? He didn’t even try and make the save

Poyet employs an attacking 4-3-3. In 27 games he coached with CD Universidad Catolica only 5 did he use another formation. So I assume he will be bringing that w/ him to the national team. A back four w/ 2 8's and a 10. Two wingers then a natural striker.

Must win to : 1) Keep pressure on Olympiakos (9 pts is a lot, but we still have 2 games against them) 2) Solidify a top 3 finish 3) Not freak out if we drop a game or two down the road
