Rip Panathinaikos.

I hope it doesn't get any worse than the way we were playing with Alonso

It's a good person and a good leader of men, but he isn't a good coach.

PAO could have signed Guardiola, they wont win anything with Bakasetas in the 11.

You hate Bakasetas sooooooooo much.

[Faliro]

Can't stand him. Slows the game so much, many games he barely touches the ball. Then he will score a pen or give an assist 5 games later and he is an idol again.

You have the same problem with Rafa, but a lot of fans liked him. 🫣

With Bakasetas most fans don't even like him, it's the Greek media and EPO adore him.

I agree (and he plays for my team), he can do some distant shooting or a good assist every now and then, but he is not so suitable for our system (or any modern system) and takes playing time from players who could give more, because he is the captain of Greek NT team and he HAS to play.

Guys if you ever feel the need to complain about referees in Portugal,
remember that in Greece this was NOT a red card

And yes if you wonder where you saw it before :

So Ioannidis the greek player that Sporting tried to get  :

https://www.transfermarkt.pt/fotis-ioannidis/profil/spieler/532444

signed new contract with Panathinaikos until 2028.

The problem is that this year he had injury issues and so far he has done almost nothing in comparison to his last strong year. 0 goals in 9 league games...

His injury and the fact that as a team we suck again this year (and things don't look that much better with Vitoria either...)  doesn't help.

On a good day he can play amazing, but so far this year...
And he is quite injury prone as I have previously said:

[Faliro]

If PAO were good in the market they should have sold him this summer. However I think they knew they would struggle to find a replacement.

Yep, the same thing that happened with AEK and Livaj

[Faliro]

Bad defeat by England.

I think the coach got the tactics and especially the lineup wrong.

Bakesetas was useless. Poor press, poor passing. Would have started with Telias as the 10.

Midfield to weak and not enough height. Siopis despite the running should have not started and a stronger midfielder should have been placed next to Zafeiras, most obviously Alex who is in high firm atm.

Ioannidis scored an amazing goal last night :

Best PAO game in a while. Coincidence Bakasetas wasn't playing?
