I have a feeling we will respond to our last 2 disappointing results and come out with a big win here. I think Zivkovic is due and will have a big game and we will get our Europa League campaign off on the right foot. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Starting 11:

Pavlenka, Kenny, Kedziora,  Michailidis, Baba, Ozdoyev,  Meite,  Konstantelias, Zivkovic, Taison and Giakoumakis. 

Pame PAOK

Taison coulda scored there 😞

-edit- and a minute later, we are very lucky not to be down

Good save by Pavlenka after a Baba mistake.

[Dutch Eagle]

Two good saves Pavlenka already. We had our chances too.

[Blackhawk]

Anothrer big save by Pavlenka.

Major issues with our defense.

[PaokCT]

What else is new. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Kenny

[Dutch Eagle]

Glad there is the VAR. Still 0-0

[pash]

Our passing is absolutely tragic. It's like none of these guys have ever played together before.

[Dutch Eagle]

Despodov and Camara for Taison and Ozdoyev. 

[Blackhawk]

Thank god for Pavlenka keeping us in the game.

[Dutch Eagle]

They hit their own post. 

[PaokCT]

Own goal is the only way we can score. Not sure how Lucescu survives this season

[pash]

Chalov > Giakoumakis

[Dutch Eagle]

Chalov subbed in for Giakoumakis

[Dutch Eagle]

Last sub: Konstantelias out; Ivanusec in

[Dutch Eagle]

Oh oh Chalov. Score that one!

[Dutch Eagle]

And Mady not able to score a sitter

[Dutch Eagle]

0-0 FT. Disappointing result. But we played at some moments good football. 

[Blackhawk]

Disappointing result. Missed some big chances at the end, but Maccabi could have also scored a couple. 

Our scoring issues continue to hurt us.

[kolokotronis99tripoli]

Chalov should not be seeing the pitch period. If they gave Giakoumakis half these chances we would have won. Instead he had to play the whole game basically out of position just to win some possession with how horrible we looked in the first half.
