Iran vs. Turkmenistan March 21 and March 26 Pre-Match Discussion

[oracle]

this tm camp is super important to see which way
General will go.

[Karimi 8]

I agree he should be capped, and called up for some easy qualifiers.

But I'd like to see him perform with TM in international matches, under TM conditions (ie stresses) and then decide it he's TM material.

I don’t think GN has a clue he exists, so far he has shown zero eye for young talent locally so a lot to ask to expect to find it internationally

After watching general interview
this is the line up I think

Biravand
? Kanani. Majid omid
Jb Saeed ghodos mohebi
sardar mehdi

[aria32]

General in his interview said he believes defenders should be experienced and midfielders need to be young so they can run. Given Ghoddos and Ezza are pretty much fixed, and Mohebbi/Ghaedi are young. I have no idea who he is going to replace with young players like Salmani and Hosseinnejad.

^ were his hands under the table when he said that? then I assume he meant something else. :-)

Neither does he. He's so incompetent and full of crap. Not once did he admit to any wrongdoing and blamed it all on bad luck. This has become a cultural thing under the magnificent IR: Fail and blame it on bad luck!

Btw by "experienced" defender he means more Kanaani/Cheshmi/Noorafkan. For those who are optimistic about players like Hazbavi and Aghasi getting some time, I'm here to give you a reality check

[Kavian]

GN will use the same line up he used for Qatar game, against Turkmenistan just to prove he was right. This guy is trying to resolve his inner complexities more than trying to be a good coach.

Norafkan is stud in lb.

I have no problem with him, but he has been injured for so long...he should play in club level first to deserve call up to team melli?!

[perspolis#1]

Do you guys think that in both legs there will be fans with complete set of flag shirts and hats like in the Asian cup?

I remember thats what Turkmenistan did in our game there in 2015 before IR copied it last month
