Great game and great win!! Albanis , Mantalos and Livaja were great, as usual we missed some classic chances and I though we were gone after Aris went 2-0 up but we needed just 1 goal to save us and thankfully we did it.

Silly red cards, we play Olympiakos this weekend without Mantalos, Oliveira and Simoes.

[CincinnatiAek]

Did enough to beat OFI 2-0 at home, today.  Blew a ton of good chances in the 2nd half. Araujo and Verde are really struggling to finish.

[Alphonse]

Our goal is Europe League Group Stages

[Soprano76]

Makari. Getting 2 teams each in UCL and UEL for Greece would be huge. 

[CincinnatiAek]

Carrera out. Jimenez back yet again. The results have not been good recently but I would have given Carrera more time. Garcia is still getting back into shape as is Szymanski. I am tired of the Meli-Jimenez love affair.

[CincinnatiAek]

Ivic out as well.

[CincinnatiAek]

Kone hired to replace Ivic. This seems like a terrible idea. Meli is way too hands on.

[CincinnatiAek]

Team is playing like hot garbage at the end of the season. Losing out on a European spot is a possibility.

[Alphonse]

Unless we buy quality defenders and get a coach that knows how attacking football is played we dont deserve Europe, in fact I dont think we will qualify with how we are going this season, utter disaster 

[CincinnatiAek]

Team finally managed to get a win. First one since March 8.  1-3 on the road against Aris. Hopefully they can get some momentum/confidence going forward and try to nab second place.

[Alphonse]

New coach in Vladan Milojevic, signed until the summer of 2023, hope it goes well

Season Review

[CincinnatiAek]

Aek loses a penalty shootout to Velez in a second leg they dominated and is out of European competition. Good times.

[Alphonse]

Tragic stuff... should have won the game in Athens at least 2-0 but their keeper had the game of his life... tragic

[CincinnatiAek]

Thanks for posting the "highlights." Defense looks to be worse than last season. I fear it is going to be another long one.

[Alphonse]

We have not looked good under Milojevic at all in all our games

Agreed. He will not last long if we have a slow start.

[CincinnatiAek]

AEK starts with a 3-0 win against Ionikos. Played a poor first half but the game turned on a 33rd minute ejection of an Ionikos player. Team will be better when Zuber gets up to speed.

[Alphonse]

Zuber made us look much better, I’m still worried about our defence, it’s gets picked apart easy, we need to fix especially when the bigger games come up.

Still, some good positives, the new played are good upgrades, looking forward to next week 

[CincinnatiAek]

Defense will be rough all season. Tsavellas is out of position at CB. Will take time to gel with Vranjes.

[Alphonse]

Not really file, he has been playing at CB for years now, transitioned there from LB years ago

[CincinnatiAek]

Clown show in the last 15 minutes against OFI. From 0-3 to 3-3. Ref was bad but that was a big choke.

I cant believe they let a 3 nil lead slip away. Crazy

[Alphonse]

Embarrassing to say the least... all the good work undone.

Have to mention, what a ridiculous red card to Gracia when Lambrou was all over him... VAR too... hopeless
