Maybe because PAOK forwards didn't play their best games, but still.. Lejsal (his 3th game) and Losada (only his 2nd game) are making the team better. So did Kalou and with Paulo Henrique we do have an unpredictable talent. Yesterday he was important with his goal, but he can play much better..
We'll see next week. If we'll keep on improving the play week by week, I think we'll have a 60-65% chance of going through. Playing at home really gives us the best chance. At least, it should...
Losada yes, I really liked him too apart from Kalou. I am listening to the radio since morning and today that things have calmed a bit after the somewhat unexpected bad result for us most people are saying that in the second leg, the team that will score first is the one that will most probably qualify.
Voorstopper schreef:The level of play during the game was below par at both ends. But we came for the result and we got what we wanted. So we shouldn't complain too much. The players worked hard as a team to secure this draw in very hard conditions. Most of us will expect us to go through now, but we have to stay focussed. We are still very vulnerable, as u also should have noticed yesterday. We leave huge gaps between the lines and it was PAOK's weakness not to make profit out of it.
Indeed I agree, your players are to be congratulated for what they did yesterday. Our midfielders and forwards did not take advantage of the huge gaps while our only mistake in the first half was turned into a goal. What we base our hopes on for the second leg is that our two best midfielders (Olivie Sorlin and George Fotakis) are probably returning from injury for the second leg which will give us a more productive midfield. Hopefully we will see a much better match in the second leg from both sides.
