Greek Cup - Group Stage - R2: Trikala - PAOK ( 01 Dec 16, 17:15 EET )

How bizarre was that interview with Letterman a few years back ?  Great viewing though.

[pash]

Even better that it was staged, but only on one side. Poor Letterman.

First half is over. It tasted like a Budweiser - stale, tepid piss.

[Bananas]

Staged ? Really ?  I had no idea.

Poor first half.  Just no chemistry between the players.  This the sort of game that Charisis and Shakhov should be dominating the middle but I just don't think they have it in them.  Charisis needs a mentor.

66% possession to PAOK.  Felt like 20%

Some Guns and Roses at half time.  Why not ha ha.

No.  We have played badly like this plenty of times.  It doesn't surprise me in a sense because you're putting 11 guys together that don't play together normally.

[pash]

I say put in Leovac and Cimirot...should give us the boost we need.

[Bananas]

Kitsiou and Giannoulis have offered zero in attack which doesn't help either.

[Bananas]

Liposuction for Biseswar ?  Do you think this could help ?

[pash]

Hamster wheel. I don't want him looking disproportional.

[pash]

Pelkas for Biseswar. Probably a good move. Lookit that paunch.

[Bananas]

Pelkas for Biseswar.  Not a bad change all things considered.  Biseswar has been quite flat.

[pash]

Well...not physically.

Klaus on for Pereyra. God help us.

[Bananas]

This would have to be one of the most boring performances I've seen from PAOK this year.  They had more vigour in some of their pre-season training matches.

1 attempt on goal in 80 minutes.  That says it all.

[Bananas]

Yawn.  What a boring game.  The only positive thing about it is that fringe players got some game time.  Overall, a very flacid performance.

[pash]

Atrocious. At least...we didn't lose?

I would add another positive thing and that is that some our our starters got rest ahead of the two difficult games against Panathinaikos (Sunday) and Liberec (Thursday). As for the fringe players, what other incentive do they need in order show their potential (if they have any).

[pash]

You're right. This match should have made it obvious who should get loaned out/sold/released in the next window or two.
