In pursuit of mediocrity; Dynamo Kiev 2012-2013 season.

Marco Ruben from Villareal? That would be a brilliant pick up, hope that doesn't happen!

Can't believe we took Aliev on loan from you lol fail at least we didn't buy him for $7M like we did with Hladkiy smh

 

Marco Ruben seems to be official now, another nice pickup for DK. And at least this move fills a need (quality striker)

 

He's definitely not an ideal target man although he could play like that, his slight build will get punished in UPL against physical defenses who are a good unit. He's a quality player. Its absolutely ridiculous he's coming to play for Dynamo Kyiv, no offense. Surprised Ramos and Dnipro didn't nab him up since he came to Ukraine anyway, and they always try to steal guys from Spain.

 

Terrible. Uninspiring. Low finishing quality. Too many passes went array.

Yes, the better team did win but it looked very disappointing. Dynamo looked good in the first 20 minutes. The rest of the first half the play was even. Dudu isn't as good as people say he is. if he wants to start ever again in place of Husev he better show something. Husev is faster and more aggressive than Dudu. How Haruna gets to start is beyond me. Khacheridi was Dynamo's best defender. Mykhalyk had two gaffes in the first half. Was better in the second half.

In the second half Dynamo attacked a lot but nothing looked particularly convincing. After Harmash and Husev replaced Haruna and Dudu, Dynamo capture the initiative and never gave it back. Still, the finishing quality was terrible. Excellent service by Yarmolenko in the 92 minute and great precision by Ideye helped us avoid disappointment.

A note on Kranjcar: had a nice touch on the medium distance piledriver. Other then that - was very ineffective on standard situations and basically had a forgettable match. He needs to improve, because when Ninkovic replaced him in the second half the quality did not suffer and that is a bad sign for Niko.

Boiko was very decent. he will compete with Koval. The year-long assignment at kryvbas must have helped. But when SaSho returns they will compete for the back up position.

 

If Dynamo are out of continental competitions by the New Year - I would agree with you. If they're still playing in the Spring = Syomin will stay. Just a feeling.

 

Thought Harmash was the best player on the pitch in the second half. Mind boggling that Haruna got the start over him. Husyev also made a huge difference when he entered

 

C'mon guys....
You know it takes more than one game for this team to gel! Especially when you get the amount of turnover that always happens during the summer break.

If you thought that MetaDon would be a walk in the park then lad you haven't been following the dynamics of what has been going on for the last few months.

 

92nd min winner lol, always sneak by in these games its really annoying.

 

Well that's what we've been doing most of the last season in the UPL. I mean aside from the disappointment of being unable to hold the first place, you have to admit that despite very unconvincing play, Dynamo kept winning. Sometimes - despite their best efforts

 

lol dynamo played like absolute trash again, i can't even watch this team play it's so freakin boring

 

So, don't. I wouldn't mind if they had 30 terrible games in the UPL and had 30 terrible 1-0 victories. That would suit me just fine.

 

You do understand that 30 1-0 victories would mean that Dynamo would have to have a perfect defensive record? I mean, I'd love for that to happen, but even on the most optimistic days watching the Dynamo back four involves an emotion akin to strong disappointment.

 

There are 29 more games this season and and if the track record for the league proves to be similar then there are only 2 games for Dynamo that really matter and they are the games against The Miners.

All the other 27 games make up the statistical inferences for the season and give the fans reason to travel and watch their teams.

Until a serious change to the competition structures happens (akin to Juventus being disrobed of their championships and sent to Serie B or Rangers or going bankrupt an sent to the 4th Level) the championship even after the first round will clearly be whether Dynamo will have the goods to actually stop The Miners from winning the 2012-13 Premier League.

 

i think best thing for dynamo would be to fail qualification for champions league. I think that's the only way that will make that brain dead president surkis realize they need to get rid of semin. On the other hand though, knowing surkis, he will sign some other dumb sovkovuy manager that will deal with his antics like going inside the locker room half time and telling the players he's the shit here and they better play better cause he pays them. the less that man is involved in the football department in the club the better it will be for dynamo. personally he shouldn't come closer than 300m from the training ground.

 

Haha yea that's too bad. Thought we had a stud on our hands after he bagged an epic brace at Mestalla to beat Valencia. He got called up to the NT to face England at Wembley in 2010 WCQ right after that but got hurt in the first day of practice and missed like the next 6 months with that groin problem or whatever it was never really a factor again after that, so weird
