AEK- Panionios

[Original 21]

We have a game tomorrow at home against Panionios. It will be a very tough game with a new coach that doesn't know the team well yet, and also because of the players that we are missing. Lazaros, Patito, and Galo are all out suspended. Lescott, Vargas, and Simoes are all out injured; there's also a chance that Johanson does not play because he's suffering from the flu. All of these factors considered we are going to need big performances from Mantalos and Almeida if we want to win. Morais, because of all the injuries, had to try out this lineup in training:

                         Anestis

Bakakis Chygrinski Kolovetsios Didac

                   Galanopoulos

Mantalos                              Bakasetas

Platellas          Almeida          Aravidis 

 

I can already tell that Morais is a more serious coach than Ketsbaia because he'd rather player a true midfielder than Lambropoulos when Johnson and Simoes can't play. I look forward to seeing how Galanopoulos does. Also, many reports have said that Morais likes to play an attacking game, which is the complete opposite of Ketsbaia. It will be interesting to see how much he lets the team attack with so few practices in charge and so many injuries to key players.

Johansson makes the cut!

Also the player numbers look like something from a basketball game not a football one, 1 number under 10 don't think I've ever seen that.

Pame mori AROSTIA!

Not the best but no bar.

[Dikefale11]

20 minutes gone and not 1 chance between the 2 teams. A lot of petty fouls, breaking up the flow of the game.

We have majority of the possession however.

[Dikefale11]

Chyrgrinskiy with the chance of the game (the only one) and puts a header wide right in front of goal. Should be 1-0 up.

[Dikefale11]

Our passing game is way off point, this was the problem last game too we can barely pass, these are professional football players we are talking about.

[Original 21]

Time to send Aravidis far far away

[Dikefale11]

I agree, he has been wasteful, we should replace him with Simoes and put Bakasetas on the wing.

[AEKAlex]

Not a good game at all from us, really lacking creativity going forward today. I rarely saw an attack that didn't come from a hopeful high ball into the box (most of which ended in the hand of Panionios' keeper...). Might've been a bit better if we had Patito in but like AEK365's headline said, if you wanna win the league you have to win these games... 

[Dikefale11]

I missed the last 35, doesn't look like I missed much, Chygrinskiy should have given us the lead with that header, up until I watched Panionios did nothing all game, we should have beaten them, we lack so much going forward, it was the Iraklis game all over again, Patito and Vargas are so crucial to us creativity wise as is Simoes as he allows Mantalos to go back to CAM.

Aravidis just doesn't cut it for me, I love his passion but he is just so average.

Disappointed with the draw but again a lot of key players were missing, at least its not a loss but again to reiterate what Aek365, these are the games that win u championships. All we can do is hope Oly Pao and Paok drop points.

Typically, when a new coach comes in, everyone busts their @sses to prove their worth to the new coach. I don't think I saw that here. 

[Original Sydney]

Saw the game and even though we were stretched with injuries and suspensions we created more than enough chances to win the game that's for sure, but as usual we wasted chance after chance. This is 2nd time we have wasted a chance to go top of the table (with other games pending) another 0-0 draw at home.

[AEKPROTATHLIMA]

We have a long way to go if we want to talk about protathlima. You cannot loose points to Iraklis and Panionios at home and still believe that you have a chance.  As much I hate PAOK they have a better and faster team from us! We need allot of work and some better players.

[Alphonse]

Massive game for AEK tonight. Only a win will do, really hope the team can do it

[Alphonse]

With the PAOK lose and OSFP point this is a very important win for AEK  court cases pending too

[CincinnatiAek]

They got the win, Paok lost, and Olympiakos tied. Good day for Aek.
