SL1-PO-R3: Asteras Tripoli - PAOK (11-04-21, 17:15 EEST)

[Dutch Eagle]

Goooooaaaaallllll

[Blackhawk]

AgaIn sleeping on defense

[Dutch Eagle]

Damn. The equalizer.

[Dutch Eagle]

Not that he was very aware of it. 

[paokarag4]

Warda unlucky there. Again frustrating, they have created close to nothing yet they have equalised it's a trend that we concede when the opponent creates half a chance. 

I'd say we will see Kremncik soon, probably in a 4-4-2 

[Dutch Eagle]

Should have done better with that opportunity. No penalty. Arm was at a natural pose.

[Dutch Eagle]

Krmencik in for Schwab

[Dutch Eagle]

Crespo yellow. Douglas received one earlier.

[Dutch Eagle]

Another great sliding Vieirinha

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Warda and Murg replacing him right after that.

Our last sub as it is the third during the game

[Blackhawk]

2 more points dropped.

[paokarag4]

Another disappointing result, we played ok in patches but overall not well enough to get the win. I can't even say defensive woes cost us, it just seems teams score against us on their first foray into our box.  

[Dutch Eagle]

Yes. But glad we did no lose and that we scored.

[Athens4]

Once again I opted to not watch the game and take photos of an empty London instead and once again it seems I made the right choice.

The team is an absolute shambles and these players are just not good enough. A stone wall penalty not given to Asteras in the first half and I have no idea how VAR did not give it. If that would have happened to us, Lil' George would have already uploaded something to his Instagram account. It wasn't us who dropped two points today - it was Asteras.

Paschalakis should have been sold in the summer. I can't see us finding a buyer now. He is absolute liability.

It did happen to us in the same game. Similar handball by Tripoli player was not called a penalty. I do have to agree that Crespo's handling was more obvious even though the ball hit his thigh first before hitting his hand.

Paschalakis, I even understand he is elastic but with no brains. In any case, selling him and who will you be buying to replace him?!

Finally spend some money on a keeper instead of wasting it on has-beens.

But again who (realistic, obvious)?! It's easy to criticize...

Surely it isn't hard to find a keeper better than the ones that we have.
