Sepahan/Zobahan Fan Thread

[Keano]

Krancjar doesn't know how to use his players

Then please tell me how he took charge of Sephan on his first year and took the troubled Sepahan at the time who struggled in the middle of table to clinch the first spot, thus PGL Championship.

I think some sepahan fans here are too emotional, I dont blame this on kranjar at all, he lost the skeleton of his teams attack....

Sukaj+Nk+KB = 41 goals!
sukaj = 16 goals KB= 17 NK = 8

How can you possibly expect the team to perform NEARLY as well with Afshin gholami and djalovic in place of those 3??? how is it the coaches fault?
I blame management for not holding on to KB and not making the proper purchases.

^ sepahan always struggles at the beginning of the season and then climbs to the top and you can't compare compare that squad with the current squad

Jamshidian was no good. Ever since his injury he never got back to his old form & last year had some bad performances that looked fishy too (Es game in Isfahan & the hazfi semis missing the pk). Seyed Salehi the fans didn't like. Everybody was happy he left. The only loss was Karimian & they say Sepahan wanted to become a younger team & we have. If you look at our roster we are probably the youngest team in the PGL. I still think with the addition of a semi decent playmaker & a good striker we will be the champs.

Zlatco Kranjcar is responsible 100% for two things; his substitutions, and his players selections both in starting line ups and in players transfers. The management is responsible partly for players transfers.

Since that team reached the ACL quarter final, Amir Ghalenoies team, Zlatco Kranjcar have made no significant changes to the team. He hardly brought useful players to the team. His game line ups and substitutions showed a weak character and tactical vision.

Today he was held 1-1 in Fooladshahr and during the time he took off Arash Afshin and brought in Amin Jahan Alian, a midfielder for a striker. He had two strikers in the field and they were Arash Afshin and Mohammad Gholami. If he wanted to take off one of these strikers then Mohammad Gholami would be the one to take off. The latter was the worst player at least in Sepahan.

Sepahans midfield has suffered a great damage since Amir Ghalenoie left. By the way I am not a fan of Amir Ghalenoie. All of Fabio Janvario, Ahmad Jamshidian, and Akbar Imani have left Sepahan because of Zlatco Kranjcar or at least under his supervision. Now they have youngsters in their squad and one of them is the talented defensive midfielder Ali Karimi and he has been using the same players and making no changes what so ever.

Cmon bro are you serious? Seyed Salehi was booed out of the frickin city.

And you ask as if our league isn't known for players transferring all the time. The odds that Karimian and Jamshidian were going to stay in Sepahan forever were slim to none in this league of ours.

[babak_iran]

They left becaus krancjar didn't want them same with janvario unanimous and jamshidian. Why w
ould they want to leave after winning the title 3 years in a row!!

Its so funny seeing Sepahaniiis mad at Kranjkar. YOU ARE IN 2nd pLaCe!! he got you the Hafzi cup last year, and a championship the year before.. you want him to play Arash Afshin even if he is being lazy, not showing up to trainings etc...? and THEN, you moan about there not being any discipline in PGL. THIS IS WHY!!

Its a different story with Y. Karimi though, imo he should have also been played. But, it seems as if Kranjkar is scared to test some new players which have transferred to Sepahan. Either way, your overreacting way too much.

[aryanirani]

Also lets not forget Jabbari acting like a girl wasnt predicted, and you have lost a key play maker. What can you expect..

[sorkh]

Many members here say "he got you first" "he got you second". As if Sepahan won the league, Hazfi cup, and were competing in ACL all through charity. Sepahan have been the best team in Iran for years now and they had their own players and thier own good foreign players. Zlatco Kranjcar have taken Sepahan to their worst state ever. In my opinion, if he continues in this position Sepahan will be hammered in ACL and lose more games in the IPL.

[K. Nader]

Whether I agree with his current rotations or not, Kranjcar has led Sepahan to both a League Title and a Hazfi Championship since his arrival. As we approach nim-fasl, we are currently sitting second in the league (and have done using a squad which is missing two of it's most pivotal players and lost the third due to a transfer). Furthermore, Jabbari bailed on the club and Afshin has continued to be an over-hyped flop.

Kranjcar has a contract until the end of the year and as it stands, we're still in contention for both domestic titles. In addition, we have an opportunity to strengthen our squad in a few weeks time through 1-2 new signings.

Let Kranjcar remain for the duration of his contract. Having high standards doesn't mean we should couple it with erratic behaviour. Professionalism and organization is what separates us from the Sorkhabi clubs (with all due respect to their fans). Sepahan has been successful because the management makes thought-out and calculated decisions. In contrast, Persepolis has spent the past 3-4 seasons acting on whims and despite repeatedly changing coaches and buying the hottest commodities in our league, their output has literally been zilch.

Calm down and relax - we'll be fine.

^ You have a point of view but two players will not help this whole team as long as you have Ervin Bulku and Omid Ebrahimi in midfield.

Well said!

Regardless, without any major changes, the team is bound to get slapped!!
