We are going to win this? Or... well?

[pash]

I will predict a 5-0 win

I would advise adhering to the 'Best before' dates on those beers.

[Blackhawk]

It will be one of those game that will be decided by one goal in the last 10 minutes of the game if we don't score an early goal.

[Blackhawk]

This is a must win game. This goes for our next 6 games if we want to solidify our standing in the 2nd or 3rd spot before the playoffs start. The remaining games in the regular season are:

Panaitolikos (home)
Apollon (home)
PAS Giannina (away)
PAS Lamia (home)
Tripoli (away)
Aris (home)
Panathinaikos (away)

[PAOKSYD]

Time for our defence to shore up, and introduce Kagawa! 

[Dutch Eagle]

I think Kagawa will play his first game against Larisa in the cup, as that game is an nice one for rotation and introduction of a new player after the 5-0 in Toumba. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Squad was announced. Crespo still not 100% fit to play and therefore not included. Kagawa as expected also not included. Pereira is probably history and wasted money.

The 21 selected players: Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Βιεϊρίνια, Λύρατζης, Ροντρίγκο, Βαρέλα, Ίνγκασον, Μιχαηλίδης, Περέιρα, Τσιγγάρας, Ντούγκλας, Νινούα, Ελ Καντουρί, Σβαμπ, Μουργκ, Λάμπρου, Ουάρντα, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Τζόλης,  Σφιντέρσκι, Κρμέντσικ .

[pash]

Hasn't played in a while. Probably will be a long time until he's fit.

[pash]

Boom

[Dutch Eagle]

Pereira in surprises me.

[paokarag4]

I think against lower-mid table teams where we will have the majority of the ball he is okay, he's just not ready defensively to stand up against the better teams in the league. 

[PaokCT]

Is PAOKTV freaking out for any of you?

[Dutch Eagle]

The screen of PAOK tv is scrambled. Yours too?

[PaokCT]

Yup it’s fixed now

[Dutch Eagle]

So we have the same problems, Angele!

[Dutch Eagle]

Good old switch off and on again. First lesson for IT-staff.

[pash]

Came in 11 minutes late, so far so good for me.

 

I don't think Pereira is our problem. Has flashes of that offensive spirit that we need, as well.

[PaokCT]

We are getting pressed high once again and can’t create anything towards goal

[Blackhawk]

Don't like what I see so far.

[paokarag4]

Yeah looking a little lackluster so far,  you get the feeling Warda, Vierinha, El-Kaddouri and maybe Kremncik will be subbed on at HT.

Garcia needed to rotate given the busy schedule but that's probably one too many of our good players left out. 

[paokarag4]

Must score there Swiderski MUST

Nice play from Perreira to set it up

[PaokCT]

Swiderski misses a point blank shot. That needed to be a goal
