Olympiakos Highlights
By: Martin | September 30th, 2009Didn’t get to see the game, but from the looks of things, it was one of those games that easily could have been much more lopsided than the end result–I think 2-0 flattered the Greek side a bit. 12 shots on goal, many of them golden opportunities from close up, is quality, and I think we’re almost always going to win if we can create chances like that. The lack of finishing continues to be troubling, but it seemed like bad luck as much as anything here–Cesc hit the crossbar, their keeper made several quality stops, etc.
Since I didn’t get to see the match, I’m not qualified to give a match report or rate players (not that I’m ever actually “qualified,” but I’m even less qualified than usual here). So I won’t say anything else about the match. But as I said yesterday, I think the most important thing is that we already have a 5 point lead on the 3rd place squad in the group–if we can get 4 points from our next two matches against AZ, I think we’ve basically punched our ticket to the group stages, especially with a home fixture against Standard after that.
Blackburn on Sunday, and then it’s the international break. Chelsea and Liverpool are the late fixture on Sunday, and Aston Villa locks horns with Man City on Monday, so if we can lock down 3 points we’ll definitely pick up points and move up the table.
