Iran vs. Japan - [Match Thread] | Asian Cup 2023 | Saturday, February 3rd |

I’m confused on Majid injury too, they say he will be ok by Japan game yet they took out his shirt for the goal celebration which makes me think he’s injured for awhile.. I just realised how much we took PAG for granted, we needed him this tournament

[webmaster]

Their goalkeeper Suzuki gives me the appetite for sushi all day. TM just needs to bring their chop sticks and pick up after him.

We should not start with Azmoun or play him in as an OF and Ansarifard as a striker and I would start with Ghoddos and Omid

Koka he'll become superman against us lol Japan's engine just started against bahrain. We should start with 3 central defenders . shoja playing as right back.

3-2-4-1

my thoughts exactly, they wouldn’t hold his shirt up if he is back next game ?

Hmm okey, good that kanaani is back, he is a good arial threat for the smaller weaker japanese defenders

the problem is that japanese players are fast and technical. we need to make the game physical, stop japanese players from passing by technical fouls, slow down the game , use long balls and use tall physical players in MD. Thats the only reason iraq won against them.

I think maybe it was supposed to be morteza but they got the wrong shirt lol

wouldn’t be surprised haha

For the love of God No more Cheshmi. Every game he has played in this tournament, TM has performed like crap.

He was directly responsible for Taremi getting red carded by leaving his post.

Back in 2019 AC Semi-Final match with Japan, Team Melli line up was as follow:

Beiranvand - Rezaeian, Kanaani, Pouraliganji, Milad Mohammadi - Ebrahimi, Haji Safi - Jahanbakhsh (Torabi 71'), Dejagah [c] (Ghoddos 71'), Amiri (Ansarifard 58' ) - Azmoun

https://www.national-football-teams....ran_Japan.html

Considering we have the bulk of the players from that match which was also without Taremi, I would say starting lineup should be:

Beiranvand - Rezaeian/Moharrami, Kanaani, Khalilzadeh, Haji Safi - Ebrahimi/Cheshmi, Ezatolahi - Jahanbakhsh/Gholizadeh, Asadi, Ghayedi - Ghoddos

I am keen on playing Ghoddos as striker and use Azmoun as sub or bring two strikers later at the game Ansarifard + Azmoun. Asadi in Taremi's position of behind striker, so Ghoddos will be backed up by Asadi. Torabi would be good sub for Ghayedi. I don't have faith in Moghanlu, so best not to give him game time. I prefer Gholizadeh instead of Jahanbakhsh as starter, Ebrahimi or Cheshmi choose your pick, probably Cheshmi better as starter due to better stamina, Moharrami if fit better to be starter, otherwise Rezaian is good too.

How you like my strange/odd lineup?

How many times must that turtle Cheshmi screw up before people realize he is a liability. I cannot believe you would consider him in the starting lineup against a speedy team.
