PAOK playing with borrowed jerseys from OFI in 1996-1997:

 

 

[Blackhawk]

Looks like Pelkas and Louchet will miss this one due to injuries.

[paokarag4]

Confirmed they will miss. This would be a tough match under normal circumstances, our form adds extra pressure to this one. 

More dropped points and pressure will continue to mount. Performances need a massive upswing too, they have been poor to say the least. Not sure this is the match where we will be able to start playing some good football. Hope to squeeze out a win and move on.

Hopefully OFI has some fatigue of playing two European matches in a row with Leaguematches too.

Anyway, our squad that travels to Crete:

Τσιφτσής, Μοναστηρλής, Μπαλωμένος, Κένι, Ελουστόντο, Χατζηδιάκος, Κόστα, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπαταούλας, Μπάμπα, Γιαννούλης, Τέιλορ, Σανταμαρία, Γιάκιτς, Ζαφείρης, Καμαρά, Ούγκρεσιτς, Τάισον, Σορετίρε, Ζίβκοβιτς, Χατσίδης, Εντιαγέ, Μπάνζα και Μύθου

[Dutch Eagle]

Our starting 11:

Τσιφτσής, Κένι, Ντιέγκο Κόστα, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπάμπα Ράχμαν, Γιάκιτς, Ζαφείρης, Ούγκρεσιτς, Ζίβκοβιτς, Τάισον, Εντιαγέ.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsiftsis trying a suicide.

[Blackhawk]

Poor display by PAOK so far.

[Dutch Eagle]

And 1-0 down.

[Blackhawk]

So easy. Defense sleeping again.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsiftsis too afraid to catch the ball. Or the player?

[Dutch Eagle]

Ndiaye almost after a smart assist by Baba.

[Dutch Eagle]

Michailidis injured. Looks like his groin.

[Dutch Eagle]

Hatzidiakos subbed in for Michailidis.

Yellow Jakic

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Costa 

[Dutch Eagle]

Hatzidiakos missing the target.

Save Tsiftsis to prevent the knock-out. Though I do not see us score at all.

[Dutch Eagle]

Hands and penalty for them.

Converted and 2-0.

[Blackhawk]

2:0 with penalty kick.
