Dikefale11 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 FT 1-1 Probably the fair result at the end of the day, we were poor, I will blame the pitch, but Iraklis had more of the chances and could have nicked it at the end had Vellios had better control.
Dikefale11 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Didnt have much to do tbh, lack of balls coming in, not his fault, read the corner well and was at the right spot at the right time to head in to an open net at the back post. His mobility isnt the worst for a giant. Tracks back a good bit, but Poyet wanted him to stay up front. Definitely a step up to Djebbour.
Original 21 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 I'm gonna ask the question everyone is thinking, now that we tied, do I keep my job as topic starter, or does someone else take over??
Original 21 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 How was the Czech? He did his job and that's score a goal. Other than that it was tough for him to really get involved like Dikefale said. I don't wanna judge any player on this game because we played in a swimming pool.
CHE21QNS Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 It was insulting that this game was played. We are lucky that none of our players were seriously injured and in all honesty our squad is notches above Irakli's as far as quality. This was the only way they would get a tie. Wasn't the gauro game not played last year on a much better pitch in Livadia?
Original 21 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Thankfully PAO and PAOK tied. A win next week and we are in a great spot.
Original Sydney Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 No matter the result that game shouldn't have been played, the pitch was terrible and player safety wasn't taken into account, typical Greece. Now to the game, we did ok but was hard to play football on that pitch, everytime our guys had the ball and made a pass I would have heart attacks thinking the ball wouldn't find their man as it would hold up on the pitch, that's how bad it was. Good to see Pekhart open his account for us, well taken goal. As for the goal we copped, we can blame Baroja of course but again the pitch did him no favours, overall a draw isn't a bad result there but if does feel like 2 points dropped. Not the end of the world and thankfully PAO drew today which still gives us a 4 point lead on them, beat them next week and I think it will be safe to say 2nd spot will be ours.
Damianos Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Very bad conditions, can't believe the game was played. Huge game next week. If we win second should be ours. It's important to be as many points clear for the playoffs though. Can someone remind me how the point allocation system works for the playoffs?
Original Sydney Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 All I remember is the 5th team starts on 0 points, PAO and PAOK started on 2 points last season and Asteras on 1 point but not too sure how they work it out. This is why its important to get as many points as we can now so it gives us a bigger lead from the rest in the playoffs..
Original 21 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 You get one point for every 5 point difference from the 5th placed team. For example if the season ended like this: AEK: 65 Points PAO: 60 Points PAOK: 55 Points Panionios: 50 Points The payoffs would start like this: AEK: 3 points PAO: 2 Points PAOK: 1 Point Panionios: 0 Points 1
Original Sydney Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Yiasou Original, thought it was something like that just didn't remember exactly how it worked, so really our main aim is to get as many points as possible so we have a big gap from 5th. Currently we start on 2 points, need to start on minimum 4 points in case of any early hiccups in the playoffs..... I think the teams as they are will be in the playoffs, Tripoli has a massive run of games coming up and I cant see them over taking Panionios. Edited February 22, 2016 by Original Sydney
Original 21 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 I think starting at 4 points is pretty much impossible. It will be hard to be 18 points or more ahead of 5th place but weirder things have happened. Even If we start with 3 points I'll be happy as long as we have some advantage.
Original Sydney Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Well Panionios dropped 2 points today so that's a slight start lol and toward the end of the season they play us and PAOK so hopefully they drop 6 points there.
Damianos Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 It is a stupid concept and stupid system. Let's say hypothetically we finish 17 points clear of 5th, 14 points clear of 4th and 9 points clear of 3rd. It would look like this... AEK - 3 points X - 2 points Y - 1 point Z - 0 How can you finish basically 3, 5 and 6 wins clear of 2,3 and 4 and only start with a one point lead? What's the point of playing the season? This is not because I support AEK, if any team was in the same position I would feel the same. It should be 1 point for every 3 points you are clear of 5th!!! I think that's what it was last season when we played off to get promoted?
Original Sydney Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I remember when the playoffs first started the team who finished 2nd on the ladder started on 6 points I think or maybe 4 points cant remember exactly but it was the format it is today, this format is a m*****a, these whole playoffs are a m*****a......
