Otto picked up an injury and won't be in the squad. Murg, Pavlenka, and Colley also out.

Oh God please don't let Vieirinha start here.

[Dutch Eagle]

Chalov isn't in the squad either. No idea why he is left out.

Ref is Italian Sazzo. He refereed last years match in Toumba against Eintracht Frankfurt. 

[Athens4]

What is wrong with Colley?

[pash]

Guy puts in a great performance vs Galatasaray and then disappears forever. Maybe the team wants to make sure he doesn't get an automatic extension? Weird though.

[Blackhawk]

Officially Colley has the flu.

Unofficially shady PAOK fans (and associated radio stations) claim Colley and Lovren were caught drunk one night and since then lost their spots on the team.

[PaokCT]

I wouldn't be able to step foot in Thessaloniki if those were the rules. Guess grown ass adults aren't allowed to go out no more.

[pash]

Caught drunk one night? By who, their babysitter? Wtf

[paokarag4]

I have heard that rumour too on sports radio. Apparently the issue is it was the night before a game (at least in Lovren's case per the radio). 

This seems to happen an awful lot with PAOK players, I remember the rumours about Jaba being found passed out on a park bench after a night-out and similar stories with Stoch, Z.Zivkovic amongst others. Is the Thessaloniki nightlife that intoxicating that no one can resist? Or are these just rumours created to justify why a players form has dipped/why he is being sacked from the team. 

Because you obviously hear similar stories from other countries, but it just seems that every year there is at least one PAOK player who is out all hours. So either other teams are sweeping it under the rug (I am sure this happens worldwide) or I have to doubt the validity of these rumours.

[PaokCT]

Hey! Mr. Passed out Drunk on a Thessaloniki bench is starting.

[pash]

Anyone else think Lucescu has noticed the Michailidis problems, thus the replacement with Lovren? Hmm

Otherwise - probably the best lineup we could field. They're taking this one seriously, much to PaokCT's chagrin.

[Dutch Eagle]

Penalty for them and they score in the rebound after Kotarski saved it.

[Blackhawk]

Goal does not count.

[Dutch Eagle]

But the goal is cancelled as they entered the box before the penalty was kicked. 

[Blackhawk]

In any case Baba and Kotarski with big mistakes to create the penalty for AEK. Kotarski fixes the mistake by saving the penalty.

[Dutch Eagle]

Hope this is a wakeup call as we were almost non-existent on the pitch so far.

What would I do without you? My streams have been absolutely terrible; I saw the PK, the block, the "goal," then static until it came back with a 0-0. I'm like...is this time travel? CAN I STILL STOP THE FUTURE?

[Dutch Eagle]

You're welcome. 

And now they miss a sitter. Xipniste re!

[Dutch Eagle]

Glad they are sleeping too. What a chance they missed just before HT.

0-0 HT.

[Blackhawk]

AEK is completely dominating the game (70:30 possession). We are lucky that we are not down by at least 2 goals. I don't think we had a single attempt on goal in the first half.

If things don't change in second half, I don't see how we can keep them from scoring against us.

0:0 would be an excellent result the way things are going.

[Dutch Eagle]

Wow. Our first offensive attempt.

[Dutch Eagle]

And there is their lead.

[Blackhawk]

And there is the 1:0 for AEK. 

PAOK defense completely out of position.
