[Blackhawk]

With 1:1 from the first leg, all we need is a scoreless tie.

[italosPAOK4]

we must score a couple of goals not to risk the qualification !  B)

[pash]

One thing we won't do, is keep a clean sheet.

[paokarag4]

Kitsiou and Vitor trained a little lighter today, hopefully they are good to go for Thursday. Mista is looking unlikely 
Leovac took part in a bit of the main training session but doubt he'll be ready to play in 2 days.

Neither of Kitsiou or Vitor are actually injured, right? This is just an attempt to keep them from getting tired? It seems to me that we'll have pretty much the same lineup as Sunday.

[Blackhawk]

Except for Tzavellas, who is serving his red card ban. I expect Skondras to play as LB. If Kitsiou can overcome the stomach flu, he will play as RB.

[Blackhawk]

Looks like Tudor will use the same lineup as in the game with Olympiakos. The only difference will be Skondras as LB in lace of Tzavellas.

[Nea Bafra]

I can see us drawing this game 2-2 and going out on away goals.

[Blackhawk]

[pash]

Surely Klaus isn't playing as a winger?

[PAOKSWEDEN]

Klaus as a winger? wtf

[Pontos]

Anyone's laola stream running a little late?

[pash]

Mine hasn't started streaming yet

[Blackhawk]

try this in the meantime:

[Blackhawk]

Laola is on

[pash]

Our new CB is quite fiery

[Blackhawk]

So far he has been excellent. Clears out anything Panionios brings into the box.

 

We have serious problems transitioning from midfield to offense.

[Pontos]

Chatzisaias has started well

[pash]

That was excruciating. And nearly copped a goal out of the deal.

[Blackhawk]

Lucky not to be down 1:0 right now.

[PAOKSWEDEN]

Another match where we have a major advantage in possession but don't create anything...

[PAOKSWEDEN]

We have serious problems transitioning from midfield to offense.

 

The consequences of not buying a dekari...

[Blackhawk]

The way we are playing if we managed to hold on to the scoreless tie it will be an achievement.

[pash]

Mak very disappointed in himself, but this was the first decent attempt I've seen today.
