gdkmangosalsa Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 we did very well today but i am convinced that last year's team would have found a way to either lose or tie this game. we should not get too hyped up this early i guess, but it's hard not to feel like things are at least trending in the right direction with this kind of performance. it's true that brondby are european minnows (even by our standards) but i think they are better than many teams in the soupa ligk. give a few more years for some of these guys (including those not playing today) to develop and gel and then we could really see something. especially if tudor can give us some stability at the manager position.

pash Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Some thoughts... Defenders All very solid, including Malezas (who I was worried about). Kitsiou played in his worst position and was still convincing, and Korovesis had a few good plays in the ten minutes he was on Olsen looked sloppy though. I'm beginning to have some real concerns about him. Midfield Konstantinidis was awesome, completely owned that right side. I lost count of how many times he had moved into the far forward position and served as the target for long crosses. And the fact that he won so many of those attempts was all the sweeter. Tziolis made small mistake after small mistake, but didn't manage to ruin anything. Still was able to run headlong into a ref. Pelkas was a monster, has speed, can dribble, makes it look easy. He owns that attacking mid position. Kace was wonderful as usual, should have had two goals of his own. Mistakidis and Savvidis, as the subs, also showed their worth, very solid. Strikers Mak finally was able to make good on his threats to score, and got a hat trick out of it. Huge for him, and us. Rodrigues got a much deserved goal as well, and seems to have more talent than I credited him with. Both played out of position, I can't wait to see what we look like with two CFs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Eagle Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanx Blackhawk for the vid as I wasn't able to watch the game. Great win. The biggest in tonights EL. 3 homegames in Toumba, 12 goals scored and 3 clean sheets for Olsen. Not bad. And no red card this time :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There was a moment when I was worried - he had grabbed a ball that had squirted towards him, and the opposing forward shoved him (and caused the ball to fall out of his hands). Thankfully he recovered fast, but at first glance it just looked incredibly sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Impressive result. All of the goals were very good. The build up play on the first and the steal by Mak on the second, excellent. I actually think Mak can play in the CF position if the opposition are playing a high line. The 4th and 5th goals I don't think any other player on the squad would have scored them. At least I can't think of anyone that would have. His ability to run with the ball with pace is very very good. With both those goals he essentially took the ball from close to the half way line. I think his market value just doubled overnight. ;) Pelkas has been a revelation. The good thing is Tudor won't let him slack him off. Just keep getting better Pelkas! For f***s sake, extend Kace's contract already! The GSL will be a different story as most teams won't play with such a high line, so I don't see Mak in the CF role on a regular basis, but I think he's shown enough to give us confidence he can play the position if required. Will be interesting to see how the other new signings will fit into the squad. With the exception of Leovac, I don't think any of them are guaranteed starters just yet.

pash Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Let's not forget that Mak also gave the assist on goals #2 and #3. Those are Lucas numbers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Great performance Were Brondby that s%$#! or PAOK that good??? Does anyone else see a bit of Kanaki from Radio Arvila in Tudor ... :lol: He DEFINITELY looks like him. Brondby were pretty bad, but we did everything right. They looked scared to me, right from the start - no effort to actually attack until it was too late. They literally had only one shot on target.

Bananas Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Great performance Were Brondby that s%$#! or PAOK that good??? Does anyone else see a bit of Kanaki from Radio Arvila in Tudor ... :lol: I think it was a little of both. Mak was inspired today which helped. The critical difference is Tudor, as well as the fact that we look to have some depth in the squad. The players know that if their level drops, their is someone ready to slot right in, and Tudor won't hesitate to drop a player. I'm just guessing of course but that's how I see it. We will get a better idea as the season rolls on as to Tudor's competency. We also started brightly last season and for a time there Anastasiadis looked like a tactical genius. Having said that, I'm feeling optimistic about the new PAOK project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised to see Mak playing up front. His pace and dribbling will force Brondby to play a deep line. If only his finishing was a little more clinical. This is where someone like Mak can be very useful. You put him up front next to the last man, and it "should" force the opposition to play deeper. The only way to counter this is to have a very fast defender or play a deeper line. And just like that *poof*, space in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED SHERIFF Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) those goals remind me of u11s soccer...when the only kid on the park that knows how to dribble and run is chased by the fat slow defenders.. he (nor any other GSL player) will score too many goals like that in the GSL this year Edited August 21, 2015 by RED SHERIFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Eagle Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Heaviest defeat for Brondby in their "European" history together with a loss against the great Man United in november 1998 (when they beated Bayern later on in that epic final).
