CL–QR3-L1: PAOK - Spartak Moscow (08-Aug-18, 20:00 EEST)

Jaba in for Limnios

Is a handball in the box no longer a yellow or something? Hmm...

Last sub is Shakhov for Mauricio

I literally spent the last seven minutes praying.

Very hard fought win. What a game! This had literally everything. I haven't seen something like this in years.

[Blackhawk]

3:2 final. I'll take it considering the circumstances. Still have a chance to go through.

It was a wild and exciting game. Would have liked to be at Toumba today.

[pash]

Should have been 5-2, but whatever...a win is a win. We can still get through. I can't see them stopping us from scoring in Moscow.

[paokarag4]

Could've had our 4th goal, had a few counters we didn't take advantage of. That Pelkas chance should've been scored. 

Very proud of this team, that was a remarkable come back. In years gone by we would have fallen apart and lost 0-3 and tie over. 
I have full confindence we can get a result in Moscow, it's going to be tough but it's possible. With Vieirinha back (hopefully) and IMO one of Jaba/Warda starting who are more direct and will run at their defenders on the counter. 

Recovery is important now, it was a taxing game and you could see a few of the boys struggling and limping towards the end of the game. Hopefully everyone is fit and good to go come next week. 
Bravo Paokara mou

[Yiankos]

Thank God it's not a 3-3!

Now, on to Moscow. With Vieirinha hopefully.

Bravo PAOK!

[pash]

Moscow won't have the heat they had to deal with today. So there's that.

For me, Warda should start the next game on the left. El Kaddouri was fine but Warda was something else. Him playing with Vieirinha is going to be deadly (then again, Vieirinha can play next to a stack of Russian nesting dolls and make them look good too).

[Athens4]

It should have been 4 or 5-2. What a shame we started the game asleep.

Onto Moscow for the win! Hopefully the usual away PAOK will show up.

[pash]

Our fans apparently broke into the press room before the game and started throwing punches at Russian journalists. We are absolutely F***ed.

AEK 1-1. Nice goal by Klonaridis.

Pash, what happened?

Whoops, posted in the wrong forum. Not sure entirely, was told by someone on twitter and then when I searched I saw a journo who covers Russia saying as much. Gate 4 needs to be locked up, entirely.

[Dutch Eagle]

Just back from Rhodes. Was in the plane during the game. 3-2 is not the best score one could have but from 0-2 behind en the penalty missed by Promes puts this tight win in another perspective. Just avoid a loss overthere. PAOK Jera!

[Ellada2004]

Thrilling match, great comeback! PAOK will progress next week.

Lol it's no illegal

 

Well done PAOK on the come back, big week next week

[BostonThanatos]

I agree with Pash about starting Warda, ESPECIALLY if Vierinha is ready to go... These guys saw most of the action coming from Matos today, they won't know what hit em.

[PAOKARA]

Very impressed with Warda when he came on.

Skillful,very calm on the ball, I don't think I saw him lose the ball once.  Will be a big player for us this season.

 

[Tahma]

I loved watching Warda on the ball, I missed having that flair like player on the wing.

Great video man.

[Bananas]

I’ve only seen the highlights but it was one for the ages.  I’m so happy for the club and the fans.

As for the game my favourite part was Paschalakis reaction after he saved the penalty.  Could watch that on loop all day ha ha.

[pash]

I literally watched it five times last night. I love how pumped up he gets. Really took control from the first moment he was on the field last year, and hasn't given it up since.

[Bananas]

Yeah I’ve been waiting for him to ... fail ... but I’m getting real close to thinking he could be our GK for years to come.  I don’t see anything other than a serious injury (now I’ve jinxed the guy) stopping him.  I suppose if he keeps this up he may even become a transfer target.

Anyway, back to the loop ... ?

[Yiankos]

Great saves by Pashalakis. But not to forget his reactions on Basel's goal and Spartak's second goal were not good enough.
