As I said earlier, I'm not holding much of a chance ... but "hope springs eternal" I guess. and I will be there to support the team no matter who leads it or who plays in it.
but let us dwell on what is humanly possible for us .
I believe with better player selection ( not according to the "name" of the player. case in point: shojaei, rezaei, ... ) but their FORM (eg: rezaei, shojaei, kazemi, madanchi, ... ) and NATURAL POSITION (eg: khalatbari, rezaei, ... ) , we can extract better performances from TM.
and who knows ... maybe with that much boost in performance we may be able to pull off the improbable ( not not impossible ) and win NKorea and then, UAE.
that would set us up for the THIRD spot ( I'm afraid I just cant see how we could get the top two !! ).
why do I say this?
becoz we've shown in recent years that TM's efficiency is MORE reliant on its INDIVIDUALISTIC BRILLIANCE than a team-oriented strategy and performance.
I'd add one more point, which is directly related to the "individuals" issue, and that is using (1) a playmaker & (2) TWO forwards in the team.
unfortunately we have very little to lose here and our backs are to the wall. So perhaps this shd give enough courage & daring to whoever leads the team to get more adventurous and use more attacking line up/formations. better late than never.
so if we use the superior individuals AND place those individuals correctly in the line up, we may get just enough boost in level of performance to push us through. coz the current selection strategy and formation has been proven not to work for us ( God knows it was apparent MONTHS ago and this game is just the death knell to this attitude ).
