Iran vs. Hong Kong June 6th WCQ Match Thread

[Kian H]

We are also not going to win a tournament where we have 11 senior players and then nothing else.

Our fanbase is reactionary but we absolutely need to play some youth in games like this.

Familiarizing our future core and exposing their mistakes and things to learn from is crucial.

Would we have gained anything from Kanaani, Mohammadi, Rezaian, Beiranvand, Ezatolahi starting this game? Not really.

In fact Azmoun was so wasteful we could have replaced him with someone younger too.

It's not about these players being ready to play in the World cup/Asian cup now. It is about them being ready in 2 years time.

Im not saying we shouldnt use Young players. But these Young players should be playing with the core of the team, not together. People want Hazbavi next to another Young defender with that 17 year old goalkeeper in goal. And Andarz as full back. What does that do? Hazbavi should play next to the main team, so he Can learn to play with them.

The same with Ghorbani. Its good he is playing nut he should be playing next to main players, so he Can learn to play with them.

people want us to play 11 under 21 players. What does we as a team gain from that? Which team in the World does that. Every team uses their main players, and sometimes use 1-3 New players so they Can learn to play with the main team

That was mainly due CQ's park the bus tactics, not real strategic defense game play. But i agree, results matter.

Yes but also defensive structure. The Way we are playing now doesnt give me hopes for the future. We cant go and attack Brazil

How can you say we didn’t have any defensive strategic game play? Against Argentina, Spain, Morocco, and Portugal we had at least 2-3 very good chances on goal that our players just couldn’t finish (further evidence we just don’t have the talent to play attacking football) on our counter attacks. What’s this idiot GN’s plan? To out perform teams like these offensively?

footballe hoojoomieh diggeh ..!! ( i should say "shaansieh", khar-too-khar alakieh digge..!!)

you asking for "shape" "tactical stance and organization" As If you dont realize who our coach is..!!?

he'll do for time being for the WCQs.... but after the likely qualifications, IFF really need to step up and spend the big bucks to bring on a proper foreign, int. caliber coach to get us properly prepared for the WC..!!

This team has a humbling coming soon either next game or in r3 when opponents quality increases. For a team that tied Syria 1-1, conceded 2 from UAE, conceded 3 from Qatar, and now conceded 2 from HK I'm a bit worried for what's gonna happen when we actually face a team like Saudi or Iraq

[JoojehKoobedeh2]

We will lose next week in Azadi to Uzbeks and that walking bag of trash(literally looks like one) GN will be finally fired. Hoping for a great foreign coach. Renard would be the best option but I’m ok with giving Golmo a chance.

I remember CQ would get so pissed off if our CBs crossed into each other's zones. Throwback to when he was pissed off at Cheshmi vs Turkey and started yelling at him for crossing into PAGs area.

I don't think GN even knows the concept of defensive zones 🤣 . His assistant tactician is a guy who got a $300 Barcelona online certificate

Are Saudi doing much better t? They drew 0-0 v Thailand and scored a whole two goals against 9 man Kyrgyzstan

Saudi came to mind as an example but a better one would be to say a European team at the WC. With this defense I genuinely see us doing worse than 6-2 vs England. If our shape allows HK to get 2 in imagine getting drawn with a team like Belgium/Netherlands 💀💀 we are gonna get cooked.

It's not individual player problem and way more of a tactical/shape problem. GN thinks he's quirky with his ignoring defense and going all attack.

I'm willing let the defence slide for this match.

They had never played together. They need time to get.
That said, Yousefi has no business playing FB.

More than half of that team has played togheter for years. This team will only get worse under the current staff.

[Keano]

Our defense shitty performance is back to pre-2012 years. Easily conceding against all teams. The team has little strategy in all areas. Our strikers have forgotten have to put the ball on the back of the net. Only Taremi is somewhat better. I am not too happy with this TBH. Niazmand has been terrible in the recent months.

With all the critics, beiro by far is the best gk we have. Niazmand is a pure fraud. Hosseini showed us his value against England but can help as a back up. The rest don't have the level and is hyped for one or two beautiful saves in the league.

I didn't expect a good performance as long as we try new players. We put crappy performance in early wcq games before.
Ghorbani, Jalali yousefi and hazbavi getting minutes.

Limouchi hosseinnejad and Aghaeipour non tested because of pos like Moghanlou and Noorafkan is the biggest disappointment

Beiro is slightly better than Niazmand who is already not good and blaming Hosseini for england game is just weak. The entire team sucked that game. He has much better exits than beiro. Hosseini should be the starter for now. Akhbari and Gohari can be backups.
