GN can't beat Hong Kong at home more than 2/0 (52min) with a full force line up??

The times of 17-0 scorelines against minnows are over bro, the game is not like in the 90s and early 2000s.

And Hong Kong has played against us in recent years more than i meet my wife so they knows us well also

[mahestan]

Watching JB play football is so frustrating

Yes and the 3rd and 4th place of each group goes to next playoff round which is two groups of 3 teams. The winner of those groups also qualify

[Nokhodi]

Hajisafi please leave TM.
Have you guys noticed how open his side is?
Against a better opponent we would be cooked.

Eztaollahi, Rezaeian and Hajisafi have been atrocious. Childish mistakes. Their head is not in the games. Sub them all.

*Forgot to add Mohebbi to the list of atrocious players.

Ghodoos has been our best.

[perspolis#1]

Hong Kong is such a weak side but we are playing terrible.

Awful trapping, no control in midfield, players are out of sync. Trying to do acrobatic BS agha jan just tap the ball in its worth just as much as I promise

[DR Strangemoosh]

I'm sorry but no excuses, this is a poor performance. Even against such an open team the players keep mis-placing the ball and doing silly things.

The discipline is atrocious and will be punished against a strong team in a tournament setting when teams play to their highest level

All that work that Queiroz put in over a decade has disappeared

Come on man. It's not his fault a player can't score a point blank tap in.

[perspolis#1]

Make a substitution Ghalenoei its 65'

[perspolis#1]

I don't kid I would have scored the chance Azmoun just missed
