Where do we go now? Dynamo Kiev 2013/2014 Season thread.

So, I am watching Dynamo game. This is really becoming depressing to me. Every two or three minutes, Yarmola, Mbokani, or Lens run free right at the Tavriya net and shoot the ball wide or right at the keeper. It's easy to attack Blokhin for that but what is he going to do? He does everything to get these players in scoring positions but no strategy in the world is going to make them put the ball into the net!

It is funny how the only time they scored the goal Mbokani was right on top of the goal.

 

How was that not a pk?? Much more obvious on the slomo than in real time...

 

Wow, Dragovic, just wow... Was that Blokhin's fault, too?

 

And there it is. Even though Metalist drew, they had 16 shots, of which 8 were on goal. Dynamo won but out of their 15 shots, only 3 were on goal... Can't score if you can not put the ball on goal.

 

After a review, it seems that the bonehead move was made by Khacheridi, not Dragovic.

 

Lol relax about Metalist. They aren't going to challenge for anything anymore. They lost their good players and the players aren't getting paid. Plus Markevych rightfully left. This is going to be Shakhtar, Dnipro and Dynamo race

 

I do not think you got the point. My point wasn't about Metalist. My point was about how Dynamo players can't seem to put the ball on net.

 

I know, I'm just saying that you don't have to worry if Metalist drew or lost. They are gonna have like Gomenyuk play striker for them for the rest of the season. lol They might drop to 5th or even 6th (if Vorskla try hard)

But the defense without Khacheridi is a sore sight. Just to be sure, it is just marginally better with him too.

 

While I agree that this wasn't Vukoevic's best game, he is a defensive midfielder and a far more reliable player defensively than Veloso. Veloso occupies a slightly different niche - he supports central midfielders from behind and tries to dispatch the attacking moves from farther back. But he is a liability defensively even on his best days.

 

Dnipro v. Dynamo u-21 played at the old Meteor today btw. Pretty nostalgic stuff for old heads.

Good thing, our field is a mess as usual so they're trying to save it the best they can for tomorrow.

 

We need to do something about defense - this is ridiculous. Supposedly good defenders should not be allowing gaffes that Dragovic allowed today.

In any case, Dnipro looked head and shoulder better than Dynamo today. Dnipro look very good, they are, most likely, the best Ukrainian team currently.

 

How many times did Dynamo kick long balls straight to Boyko??? Just elementary style attacks, caused us almost no threat whatsoever. Dnipro just looked like they wanted this game so much more, Dynamo played with no heart.

 

Blokhin has taught Veloso to pass to opposing players!

 

They are liberated from a buffoon so naturally they will play better. He might be a decent coach actually, I like his demeanor.

 

Let's put it this way - not inspiring. Yes, they fought to the end and did score the required two goals.

BUT: the central defense is terrifyingly bad. Until Dedechko's second yellow - nothing was working. but worst of all, and you all know I have said a lot about this - how can a team have 16 shots but only 3 - on goal? What is going on? Did they forget how to put the ball on net?

P.S. Dedechko's second yellow was a bit harsh but he was really late on the tackle and could really hurt someone there. I think it was a deserved yellow (which happened to be his second)

P.S.S2 - Lens works a lot and tries really hard but does anyone remember a good pass from him?

 

No, but remember, these are the same players we will have until Summer. Lens will not be hitting the target better and Dragovic will not stop making silly mistakes just because Blokhin is gone.
