on a different note, are we STUCK with the likes of nekounam, ando, karimi, ... ?
I mean are these players UN-BENCHABLE?
dont we see the likes of xavi, rooney, cesc, ... get benched or at least get subbed out? so where is it written that in all games nekounam, karimi, ando, rahmati, ... shd play and not be subbed ... even if they play badly or less convincingly?
sometimes a fresh pair of legs with youth energy and hunger adds much more to a team than an experienced vet who turns out mediocre or just-acceptable performances? if for nothing else, to catch the opponents off guard with such a move and introducing an unknown, you might get things in your favor.
this is based on all the just-barely-acceptable performances by many of our famous players (captain included). yes, they may not do something drastically wrong and do all the safe passes and run enough to be seen, ... . but somehow that is not getting a win for us. shdnt we at least throw a surprise in the middle by subbing ando or neku or .. out bringing in a hungry lad by minute 65-70?
