Turkmenistan vs Iran March 26 Match Thread

What parking the bus?

It was a poor game, sure, but no one should have expected much more versus a super scrappy Turkmenistan on one of the worst pitches in international football.
Made Azadi look like Wembley.

The last 5 minutes we brought in Fallah for Mohebi

[Nokhodi]

When Skocic had this kind of performance on bad Lebanese pitch everyone called for him to be fired. This clown GN gets a pass for us constantly playing dysfunctional and awful game after game. Our only decent game at AC was versus Japan...we struggled vs HK, Syria, UAE...

Pluto jan, this is international football now. Smaller teams will park the bus, try to play physical and compact, and make it hard for any technical team.

Although against Syria and UAE we were the better team for most of the games.
HKG was our worst game.

Speaking of azadi
there was religious ceremony there today
They allow 80k inside😅😅😅😅 w/o problem.
The renovation is an excuse for soccer crowed control....

GN needs to be fired. I've seen enough. What an awful manager with absolutely zero game plan and it shows. The players are also super spoiled...

I don't even want to open a post match ratings thread... Not worth it for this shit.

GN, Ramin, Ezatolahi, Gholi, Noorafkan were all horrendous

Taremi, Milad, Shoja, Ghayedi, Ghoddos, Ghorbani were all mediocre/poor

Hosseini average

Only good players today were Mohebbi and Kanaani

Apologies for not starting links Thread, thought the game started about now.

Can somebody post Ghaedinhos goal plz? 🙏

I can only measure the performance that was on the field, and today Hosseini played. He was no better than an out of form Beiranvand.

Love you bro, but that's nonsense and I have to disagree.

Hosseini's exits, although some were maybe not needed, all resulted in clearances... He also had good positioning and footwork for the most part. An overall average performance.

Beiro on the other hand, has been shaky in club and his exits have cost us penalties such as against Syria.

First clean sheet ever in Turkmenistan
First win ever in Turkmenistan

General will say
if a head coach with blue eyes did this he is national hero.

Of course.
Tell that to the idiots who hate TM who want no one to watch it.

[Ali Doust]

Beiranvand would've given up a penalty today.

I could say the same for Beiranvand - all of his mistakes have only led to one penalty.

So now, we are 100% qualified to the next round.

We do not need a nursing home team to play against Hong Kong. Let some new players get in.

Hazbavi or Fallah as CB.

Hardani or a returning Moharrami as RB.

Trial Sayyadmanesh or Saharkhizan.

The vets can stay on the bench and bring them in if needed.

For Uzbekistan game can be more conservative but 1-3 players should still be trialed in that game too.

Your adopted son saved general from harsh criticism..

Ddi you see Hosseini take out the Turkmen player in that clearance mix-up at the end?

I get that. But its funny how much hate Skocic got for getting the exact same performances against the same scrappy teams. I see absolutely no difference between the two coaches as of right now. Both relying on moments of individual brilliance from our players instead of having a clear/organized plan. Both are tactically inept. We are gonna be totally embarrassed at the WC against any organized European or South American side
