the Shojaei Dilemma...

[faraz]

I gotta bring this up again...another less-than-impressive performance out there, especially as he had some good clear-cut chances to give us additional goals that we need oh so badly.

i'm becoming pretty annoyed...regardless of whether or not he's tired and this and that...

[Martin-Reza]

^ At least he's getting chances. He had the longest season and he's playing out of position slightly and yet again he was one of the few players creating real danger for the opponents' goal.

He remains our most effective player of the final qualifying stage with 3 assists and 1 goal and I think like Karimi he is always able to decide a game on his own.

So even when not in best shape, like now, I think he MUST start.

I don't believe that he is so tired. I think he gets frustrated too easily and he makes bad decisions.

when he was supposed to pass, he took the shot himself and when he is supposed to take the shot he makes a bad pass.. that shows mental fatigue, and not necessarily physical fatigue.

I tend to agree on that....with one addition .

The man seriousely lacks discipline , mental and attitude.

he reminds me of the old karimi, specially against ireland...

he needs to mature, specially in his decision making infront of goal, and that only requires time and patiece...

however, he really needs to work harder on the field and run more, although i must say, he did run more and support the attack and midfield more in yesterday's game, which means that against north korea, he could have been fatigued.
