Dinamo was an inferior team the whole game, they are very lucky to win, the header by Kerzhakov was perfect though, Zhevnov stretched pretty good and still didn't get to it. We (Rostov) are extremely lucky to tie (two goals by Amkar were disallowed, deservedly but still). Lokomotiv is pathetic, with such a great roster, they performed horribly.

Нападающие: Андрей Аршавин («Арсенал»), Роман Павлюченко («Тоттенхэм»), Павел Погребняк («Зенит»), Дмитрий Сычев («Локомотив»).
Possibly but Lokomotiv is quite average lately and the Russians on that team tend to under-perform lately with club and country...I prefer the guys from Cska Zenit and Captain from Kazan as of now that's why probably Bukharov will come but not as a starter for some time though.
I hope Kolodin will finally deliver this year . Very important for Cska to progress in Europe for their many young prospects playing tough matchups more often.
Yeah, Bilya and Sychev haven't exactly lit the world on fire lately, but they belong on the NT imo. Just too talented not to be there. I'm still hoping that their best futbol is ahead.
Saenko, I think we can do without. I'm not Denisov's biggest fan either, although I think he can be a valuable sub. He can provide a lot of energy late in the game as a substitute.
I think Guus made a mistake of starting Yanbaev and Denisov vs. the Germans. That's a wrong team to experiment against. It backfired.
I mean, Denisov wasn't terrible, but he wasn't much of a factor. Yanbaev had a lot of trouble.
At the moment the best line up would be Akinfeev/Zhirkov Ignashevich Kolodin Anyukov/ Semak Zyryanov Semshov Dzagoev Arshavin Pogrebnyak this to play the two weak teams in 2 weeks.
Torbinsky needs to play in Loko. He and Denisov at the moment are great late game subs but no starters...Bilya and Sychev are on the verge of dropping out of the subs bench of NT...
Dzagoev is already on NT and he's already higher on the depth chart.
Keep in mind, Bilya had a pretty good season at RPL last year, it just hasn't translated to the NT yet. Hopefully it will soon.
We have several young midfielders (Glushakov, Mamaev, Kombarov bros, Fayzulin, etc.) that are waiting in the wings, but I'm not sure any of them are better option then Bilya for the NT at this moment.
I'm not sure what the story with Ionov. Zenit doesn't seem to trust him.
As far as Sychev, well, he's VERY inconsistent, but when he's on, he can be great.
Our young strikers are talented, but still have ways to go.
Bukharov is taking steps forward but probably not there yet. I'm hoping Dzyuba and Prudnikov finally take steps forward in their development. Savin and Bazhenov are ok, but will probably never be stars.
Stavpetz, Minchenkov, Smolov, Kokorin and Ryzhov are all talented, but have a long way to go.
