Metalurh D – Dynamo: Bangoura Returns
By: Yevy | April 5th, 2009
The leading scorer in the Ukrainian Premier League will be back in the starting eleven for Dynamo this Sunday when they travel to face Metalurh Donetsk. The injury to Artem Kravets paves the way for the Ismael Bangoura to pad his total of 12 goals which he has yet to add to in 2009. The Guinean striker played his only shift for Dynamo this year during the first half of the encounter with Metalurh Z. But after representing his country in World Cup 2010 qualifiers last week, Bangoura is itching to get back on the score sheet. Dynamo will want to have him back in form ahead of Thursday’s first leg of their UEFA Cup quartefinal at PSG. Despite a seemingly insurmountable 12 point lead over Shakhtar Donetsk in the league table, Dynamo needs to maintain the momentum and carry it over to Paris.

If Siomin goes on with that shit we are going to have a huge problem next season and this season in the UEFA cup. Bangoura is out of form, Zozulia scores almost every week one or two goals in the reserves, Yarmolenko is a stable in from striker and we have Husyev and Kravchenko on the bench. SO WHY GOD HELL DO WE HAVE TO SEE BANGOURA ON THE FIELD? He doesn’t deserve a place in this team AT THE MOMENT. I’m afraid Dynamo is going to be a second Shakhtar, where Ukrainians do not have any chances to tune up anymore. With such players it is just a horror to see that except Mikhalik, Bohush, Aliev and Milevskyi in the Dynamo lineup were only foreigners. We are champions, we have great players like Husyev WHO NEED PRACTICE. We have young stars WHO NEED PRACTICE. If I were Siomin I would play against Paris with one Striker, Artem, and as replacements Zozulia and Yarmolenko.

The reason we have to see Bangoura on the field is simple: 27 goals from 37 matches in the UPL in the last two seasons, plus 7 more in Europe. I dare you to find someone else in Ukraine who is even close to that kind of strike rate. The week of a European cup quarterfinal is when you need to determine if one of your proven performers is fit enough to play on Thursday. It’s the same reason Yussuf started at center back over Sablic, and I hope the verdict was good because Mykhalyk is out for who knows how long.
Husyev is definitely in Semin plans and is just getting his legs stretched out – he’ll be starting on the right flank soon enough. And once Kravchenko adapts to the team he will be out there too. But the kids will have to prove themselves as the situation allows.
By the way, Yarmolenko got half an hour against Metalurh today as I am sure it was planned ahead of time. His finishing still leaves a lot to be desired.
