SL1-R1: PAOK - Panaitolikos (20-08-21, 21:45 EEST)

The match was a little awkward yesterday when I do a recap. 81% possession of the bal but not the feeling they were parking the bus. And 0 times offside for both teams. Still like the way we played. We dominated. No stupid cards, or I should say no cards at all though Lyratzis should have been booked.

Maybe this is the positive side effect what the early elimination might bring us: time for Lucescu to practice those things that can not be practiced while travelling and preparing for the ECL qualifiers.

I was sure that this game was today. Smooth. Watching the highlights now - nice goal by Thomas, stupid shove by Augusto.

I predicted to PaokCT a few months ago that if we don't qualify for Europe, we'll win the league undefeated. Make it so, Lucescu!

Also, remember when we advertised our signing of Karelis (who I forgot played for Panaitolikos) by pretending he was really jacked and having him push a tractor? Greeks are hilarious. Guy develops a visible set of traps and everyone is like OH MY GOD THIS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE LEVEL OF STRENGTH. Another reason why players we develop will never be able to compete at the highest levels.
