Iran vs. UAE Sept 10th WCQ Match Thread

[BacheLot]

The speed of our midfield is attrocious. How is this not so visibly seen by the coaches

& we could Never form proper passing triangles, move intelligently w/o the ball @ our feet & provide sensible passing options for the man with the ball ..!
That’s something that CQ realized early on that he cannot fix in our football so he gave up on trying to play possession & controlling of tempo , and attacking game and instead played to our strength which was just defending Absorbing pressure and counter attacking..!
So general goozoo with his backs against the wall, had to revert back to whats been working for us for decades, which is playing CQ ball..!

Hot take: Ghaedi has been TM's best player in the past year.

HORRIBLE PERFORMANCE BY TM
IT GETS WORST EVERY MATCH.

Also a couple of other points:

Mohamadi proved me wrong this game. I wanted Jalali but he’s been unbeatable in defense, in the correct position every time and very alert.

also despite the Refs being very biased, UAE on two occasions followed fair play and hit the ball out. The second time they were deep in our end and the winger kicked the ball out for Ghaedi being down so no BS tactics so far. It’s been a good game, lots of speed and forward movement.

we maintained possession to slow down the momentum but we need to get a bit closer to the wing backs and have a middle man, the theee CDMs are too far back and the wingers are too far forward

Btw, JB started most of our dangerous chances

I noticed he plays way better on left side

Hot take: Ghaedi has been TM's best player in the past year.

He's won us about 3 games this year where we would have tied or lost without his goal. HK 1-0 at AC, Turkmenistan 1-0 away, and now UAE 1-0 away

The thing with Mohammadi is that he's fast and okay in defense...but he doesn't offer anything in attack as his crosses and passes are usually sent to the moon or miss big time

We played poor in that half. We jus look so slow and sluggish. We need to just play on the ground and stop doing long balls. Thank god Ghaedi scored. UAE outplayed us in that half but that being said they didn’t have any real chances.

Defensively they have been pretty organized so far so well-deserved lead even though it was a bit of a lucky deflection. JB and Ghaedi doing a lot of running. Keep it up!

I know but it was taken over by us middle of the half which helped dissolve their momentum, if they hadn’t it would be 70-30

Nice close down speed by Saman there to stop a counter, surprised it was him on a close-up.
