Very frustrating!

[PaokCT]

Why not try another formation these last 10 min? Why play 4 defenders when they’re keeping one up… go to 3, take one out put on someone with fresh legs 

[Ellada2004]

Another big miss! How many chances are they going to botch?

[PaokCT]

This is 100% on Savvidis and Lucescu for not signing more players. Barely eeked out vs an amateur Irish squad and can’t even beat a smaller Croatian side

[Ellada2004]

Unreal they cant get a single goal!

[Dutch Eagle]

Ball doesn't want to go in. 

Esiti and Kagawa coming in at 90'. Why. Kurtic and El Kaddouri out.

[Dutch Eagle]

+3

[Dutch Eagle]

Goalllllllllll

[Ellada2004]

GOAAALLLL!!!

[Ellada2004]

FINALLY!! OPA!!

[Blackhawk]

It took an own goal for us to score in the last second of the game.

[Dutch Eagle]

Own goal. Had to see the replay though.

[PAOKSYD]

We live to fight another day! 

[Ellada2004]

FT 1-1

23 attempts many high quality and PAOK get an OG... Thats football!

[Athens4]

A fair result. They pressed us in the first half and we battered them in the second. If I were Lucescu I would focus mainly on fitness for the entire week.

[Dutch Eagle]

Nothing is lost. More so since the away goal rule is abolished. 

Agree with A4 about the fitness. Need to go further on the way we ended this match.

[Athens4]

If we play like we did in the second half (and finish once in a while) we should make it through. It will be tough next week.

[Athens4]

Man of the Match: Stefan Schwab.

The only one who cares

[Blackhawk]

Don't think you can get more fit in one week. We will need to play smart game. For Rijeka to advance they need to score too, so they will not be parking the bus as they otherwise would if we did not tie the game. Some of our big players will need to perform. I would sit Biseswar and start Kagawa instead. Use Biseswar in the second half.
