YKPAIHIAH Premier League - 2013-14

In today's realities, metalist are also a significant brand. There will be interest.

 

Karpaty v. Sevastopol today. Awkward.

 

Did Jaba Kankava just save Gusiev's life??? The response of the Dnipro players was unbelievable. I guess Kankava resuscitated a lot of mofo's getting knocked out back in Georgia during his youth

 

Damn, Gruzin guy is a boss.

 

Kankava, Fedetsky and Zozulya are world legends now. Massive fukin respect.

Are these guys supposed to do this btw? How is this different than when an NFL player or boxer loses consciousness? Is it just the rare case where his tongue completely collapsed all the way down his throat or what?

 

LOL

He was the best player on the pitch in the 1st half and managed to save a life too lol epic day. Jaba Kankava, Georgian captain, world legend.

 

I think Kankava can retire with a clear conscience after this. Worldwide respect.

 

He's like a Georgian Chuck Norris.

 

Awesome name too, Jaba Kankava.

 

With that defense, Dynamo doesn't belong in the CL anyway. They should learn to play well at their current level; which is that of a team competing in the Europa League.

The defensive LOL's were just too much in the Dnipro game. Although, I have to say that was an atrocious game to watch, horrible football on display by both sides. Tight and combative, with nothing for the spectator.

 

Dnipro deserves a better field than that. Can't they hire someone to fix that shit? Or is it a fundamental flaw of the stadium?

 

Its a flaw of the stadium, we've changed the pitch at least 3 times since it was built in 2008. We've lost valuable points every year this time of year to lesser opponents because of it. As well as having officiating calls go against us. Not really debatable, just grim reality.

 

Does Dnipro play better in the away games? I'm sure their players are like "hell yea" every tine they don't have to play on that pitch.

 

Lol I don't understand how they f'd up so bad, just massive corruption I bet, pocketed money and cut corners with construction.

 

Loden, this guy exposes Blokhin

I agree with his overall line of thought that Dnipro's defense won this game, and Dynamo's defense lost this game for their respective teams. Not sure if it exposes, or doesn't expose Blokhin. You should watch the Metallist-DK Cup game, it was a very quality game with lots of bright attacking football on display.

The thing about closing down Yarmolenko, is that once you put a permanent marker + an assisting marker on him, his game falls apart, but this is where the rest of the players are supposed to step in and take advantage of the open space. If Garmash's game had been on point this time, things would've been very different. But unfortunately, Garmash didn't show shit this game, most likely due to the DK's defensive gaffes.

 

Usually, it is very difficult to fully take a winger out of the game if there are two quality wingers. Lens completely falls out of the game. So, when he is playing opposite of Yarmolenko, every team can double on Andriy and allow a solitary defender (like Fedetskyi) remove Lens as a factor.

I do not think the result of the game would have been MUCH different with Husev, but Yarmolenko would have been far more active.

 

I think it's more of a chain reaction. If Yarmolenko is closed down, then Garmash could've stepped up and exploited the space in the center, and then Gusev would have a lot more space on his respective wing as well.

Yeah, I'm unimpressed by Lens too. He has zero self-confidence in his abilities, and as a result his game sucks. That's too bad, because he is capable of great bursts of speed, but he hesitates after he breaks free, which is his undoing.

Gusev is a little bit too straightforward to be called a true winger. He doesn't take players on and he is technically limited as well as doesn't possess a lot of explosive speed. He is more like a central midfielder who plays on the wing. Gusev is a very good finisher though, and very cool under pressure. You rarely see him panic or lose the ball.

 

Dnipro had to travel to Crimea after beating Shakhtar and Dynamo. Responded with a 3rd straight 2-0 victory.

Legendary 3 weeks for the club.

 

Our fans have been pretty heroic too. This is them after the Dynamo game. Out of the big 4 teams we're the only ones to pack the stadium to capacity so far this spring.
