PAOK v. Fiorentina ______________________________ Lineup ______________________________ Kalinic - Babacar Olivera - Ilicic - Badelj - Valero - Salcedo Astori - Gonzalo - Tomovic Tata
Gotta say PAOK defended well and made us looking uninspiring despite some good chances from our side. I gotta admit I'm disgruntled by our matches so far this season. They just aren't exciting. It feels as if we're still stuck in the same rut we were in at the end of last season. Sousa needs to change things up. What I personally think we're missing is a flair player. Someone like Cuadrado who's always ready to run at the defense. Far too many times during today's match our midfield was just passing back and forth without creating ANYTHING at all.
Welcome back. Tomorrow's game should be fun. Most of our buys this summer have been working out well. It's good variation.
Official Starters: Tatarusanu Tomovic-----De Maio-----Salcedo Tello-----Sanchez-----Cristoforo-----Olivera Bernardeschi Kalinic-----Babacar Big Turnover
No creativity from us at all so far. Even less than usual without Borja out there. I hate Sousa more every day.
Finally a real chance for us. Nice pass from Kalinic out to Olivera on the left, crosses it into Babacar's path but he can't quite toe it in.
2-0 Kalinic. Completely dominating them since they went to 10 men though, embarrassingly, they were in complete control for long stretches before the red.
HT 3-0 as Kalinic expertly finds Babacar for the tap in. We have about 70% possession even if almost all of that was completely pointless. Our better players were Kalinic, Sanchez, Salcedo and Olivera. I really like Olivera. First time I've seen him. Fine crosser/passer.
Huge turn of events. The english commentator might be correct, this may be the catalyst for us to get things going for the season. Feels good to see some goals. Salcedo was good AGAIN! Great signing. And Kalinic was definitely man of the match. He's integral to our attack right now.
