SL-PO-R4: PAOK - Panionios (26-May-16, 18:15 GR)

[pash]

Mak misses again, same kind of one-on-one

[Blackhawk]

Mak is officially a "Xasogolis" in my book.

[pash]

This first-gear play is leading to more and more mistakes. Panionios is going to get some more fast counters together, just you wait.

[Klaous]

Chatzi comes in. Probably for Malezas.

Hatziisaias coming in for Malezas

A near goal by Panionois just now, tipped out by Glykos. We need to not be so complacent.

[PAOKSWEDEN]

Berbatov in for Klaus

 

From my football manager experience subbing out a player with 2 goals in half time won't make the player happy.

[pash]

Looks like Mak has gone up top, Berba is playing as a dekari and Pelka has gone wide right

 

My guess is that Mak is going to be subbed out any time now, with Berba then moving up. Got to save his legs for this weekend, after all.

[pash]

Korovesis coming in for Rodrigues, good sub.

Yeah, it's time to put on second gear again gia na doume ligo mpalitza.

[pash]

Would you say we're...unsafe at any speed??

I'm bored to death with our first gear show, so... yes, totally.

[pash]

And that's game! We're now at 10 points.

[Klaous]

Very well, let's hope the other game today ends with a X

[pash]

At this point, it's no longer possible for us to end the playoffs in last place.

[Blackhawk]

The second half must have been the most boring PAOK game I have seen in a long time. That was probably the only negative thing today.

 

the positives are

 

- we won

- we rested tired players

- rested players got playing time

- no cards in the game

- put pressure on PAO/AEK ahead of the game

 

Let's hope for a tie in the other game and focus one the game on Sunday.

It is possible that it won't matter who finishes last anyway, since UEFA is scrutinizing EPO's decision to give Panionios a license. It's quite possible PAS Giannina will play in Europe without even playing a minute in the playoffs.

[pash]

So what you're telling me is, it's win-win.

[Klaous]

Btw, two draws in both of our derbies are probably enough to win the playoffs!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. If PAO wins the next match, which they might, and wins vs Panionios, which they will, we're S-O-L.

[Klaous]

Koula won't lose at home, it will be most likely a draw.

However, if Bazelos wins today we need a win against them.

No cards ?  Can't remember the last time that happened.  I'm used to the refs bashing us with at least 3 cards a game.
