Gio, wanted to get your thoughts on Pyatov. do you think as of late he's become more of a liability for the team, he seems to be conceding more goals, ones that should be stopped, and making mental errors with distribution. You think He'll be there for a while or are there talks for a new keeper. On Moreno, It's good to see Lucescu has faith in him despite his scorring drought. I think he views his contributions as valuable for a forward. I think he does draw more defenders when he's on the field, what do u think?
What's going on with Adriano? Will he be able to play on Sunday? Will be a hard game, I think. Hope Moreno ist getting time again.
There's no talks about another keeper. See, despite some mentality (since he usually errs in crusial games only) and rush out disadvantages, he's great keeper and best Ukraine has to offer. Since domestic competitions has foreigners limit, Shakhtar couldn't afford a keeper with another nationality. That's precisely the point. Another reason why Lucescu keeping 3 different by characteristics forwards is to vary tactics. Adriano having some injury problems, it's still unknown if he'll be ready for rivalry fixture or not. The game should be at over the top mentality, both teams hyped up to the limit. A draw will be enogh for Shakhtar with Moreno to become 2010/11 Champions while Dynamo going to do anything just to avoid rivals celebration at their stadium. I recommend to watch this game just because of love to football, but there might be some sort of scandals, referee biased actions, divings, fights, injuries, nervous atmosphere etc. as it usually happens. Well, you prolly all watching el classicos, we have pretty match the same to offer just at local level. Moreno is very likely to perform again, but I guess Eduardo would be the one who hit the starting lineup then Marcelo come from the bench in the 2nd half. In the winning case he replace Eduardo, in another someone from midfield line. Just the opinion. He also got a good chance to appear as starter, but I wouldn't bet on that.
Hey Gio, wheres the best place to get a Shaktar Jersey? I promised my nephew a Moreno shirt awhile back, and I think it's about time I stopped procrastinating. I'll get myself one too. Any info would be great. Thanks!
Finally a rivalry day, the match will be in 6 hours. 1MADDOG Shakhtar online shop I guess. But consider that lots of americans had troubles with shipping. My friend from LA haven't gotten jersey in few month before he finally get one. Also you could try and call to Nike, worth a shot, but maybe you won't have luck here or there could be another name on the bottom of the shirt. Good luck anyways, I'll stay in touch.
I got my Shakhtar on ebay!! its a legit jersey, it was kinda pricey( more than any other jersey i bought) but the shipping costs from the Shakhtar website is crazy!!! the guy i bought it from gets his merchandise straight from Ukraine
really quiet here, but I'm singing:.....we are the champions....we are......... So Gio, what about todays match, the semifinal in the ucrainian Cup? Any news? Marcelo wasn't in the squad last weekend, will we see him today?
I was busy celebraiting club's main event Marcelo watched the kicker game from stands till the happy end, then rejoined teambuddies at pitch in champions jersey. As for today, tough there'll be for sure, they has UCL ambitions, I bet MMM show up from the bench in second part of the game replacing LA. Anyway, we'll got a lineup in 2 hours for sure. At May 14th Marcelo take a part in grand show dedicated to 75th anniversary of Shakhtar.
Thanks for your informations, Gio. Hope you're right by saying he may gets time in the second half. Marcelo has two goals in Kubok, Adriano three, I think. Maybe it's time, to get ahead of his teammate
Moreno starts in league match @ Vorskla. No Adriano or Eduardo on the bench, so he's one and only striker. Only defensive midfielders Mkhitaryan or Vitsenets, however, highly unlikely, could possible replace him at that position. Marcelo has a chance to stay at the pitch for entire game. You can catch the game in 40 minutes. http://eafangames.com/tv.php?channel=31970
Nope. He suck today. In few hours he take a part in huge (world cup openning-like) grand show of 75th anniversary of Shakhtar.
Moreno wasn't in the squad last weekend. Tomorrow Shakhtar is playing the last game this season: the Cup final Wednesday, 20:15 ucrainian time. I hope we'll see him, maybe Gio has got some further information. btw Shakhtar announced the first new Player: Dentinho (Corinthians), Forward, or off. midfielder.
Thank you guys for the Updates I wonder if Moreno could be leaving pretty soon. Shakhtar now have another striker/offensive middle.
I think, they will have to look for more and better players, if they really want to win the UCL. Seems like the next one is Alan Patrick, Santos. I don't want to rate those guys, but in my opinion it needs other men to get points against teams like Barca, Real Madrid or Manu. There are rumors about Adriano and the french Lyon, about Jadson, Willian and Costa may leaving Donezk in summer. After the vacations, Shaktar will start the training in the middle of June. On July 2, there is first Bolivia match, right? Moreno is going to play Copa America, isn't he? We will see, what happens in Donezk during the next weeks. But I think, Dusty is right by saying, Marcelo is leaving. But first I'm watching the Cupfinal this evening, maybe they are making a double.
Yea, he for sure is leaving I'd think. Thanks again for following marcelo. I actually was thinking, I'd like to see him transition to a team in turkey, maybe one of the big 3. Fenerbache would be my dream.
For me I'd like to see him in Holland. Marcelo plays ( and looks) similar to the forward for Twente Bryan Ruiz. i think Marcelo could be an impact player in any of teh big teams there. More important, clubs from everywhere get players from Holland, more so than teams from Turkey.
First point in Copa, go on further like that! Marcelo needs to play a fantastic Copa! I was just a little before a heartattack, that guy doesn't make the 2:0. In Donezk the things are going on on without him, there are a few new offensive players: Dentinho, Alan Patrick (Santos FC) and (striker) Evgen Seleznev (from Dnipro, Ucraine - makes the most goals in Ucrainian League last season), till yet no one is leaving.
