I don't care that Ramin scored, he was our worst player by a long shot.

besides arj

[Abtin]

Happy with the result, considering it's first game. Cant say a lot about performance, only watched last 30-35 min.

What did he do that was "So Poor" ?

He was absolutely awful. Turnovers, poor passes and poor decision making in the final third. Asadi came on for him and Iran played way better... Which says something cuz Reza Asadi isn't good either

[Nokhodi]

Worst players: ARJ, Mohebbi, Hajsooti, Rezaeian
Bad players: Ezatollahi
OK: Taremi, Azmoun, Shoja, Kanaani, Beiranvand,
Good: Ghodoos

Subs:
mostly inconsequential. Torabi was the best one of them.

Seriously though, why were the players slipping so much?

Can you explain how he wasn't poor because everyone else seems to agree he was either the worst or one of the worst performers today?

What did he do well?

[Kavian]

Best part of the game, was testing a senior citizen in the middle of the field.

This GN is a dangerous guy! He wanted to prove to everyone who complained about aging players that 39 year old Ebrahimi is still better than any young and upcoming talent. What a moron!

I like how for the past three years or four years we have continuously seen Ezatolahi, ARJ, and HJ commit sooti after sooti and head coaches keep favoring them to start. Then they wonder why we lose to teams like South Korea. Am I being gaslighted? Or is there something special about Ezatolahi and HJ that demands them to stay on?

For every good pass Eza has 3 slips, poor passes, and the movement of a turtle

the pitch was so wet and slippery, if a player got injured it would have been so embarrassing for the stadium officials

The thing with Ezatollahi is he shows up for the big games.

[BacheLot]

caught only the last 15min of the game....
looked a bit rushed but still a definite commanding performance with 2 late goals to boot...!
honestly shoulda been 4-5 goals if not for bad luck and dodgy ref decisions (why dafauq do they even assign an oriental looking ref for this fixture...? no doubt all the 50/50 decisions went HK way for the bit i saw of the game.!!)

Finally a TM Set-Piece goal .... wow how long its been since..? last i remember was Neku's vs SK ...!!
it sure helped that we kept the fking shot on frame.... i dont recall a set piece delivery that was on frame either..??

now where can i see a replay of the match please...!!??

[TM4LIFE]

Did ARJ straight up sub himself off for fucking up too badly?

[koko]

Was it just me or had Azmoun regained his old speed back?

[Nokhodi]

Highlights:

Look at the chances missed.

I feel we are being gaslighted by the coaches and by our own fans. I genuinely wonder if people are watching the same game sometimes, just don't get it
