Iran vs. UAE Sept 10th WCQ Match Thread

[TM4LIFE]

I can’t believe people are asking for that bache sepah bi orze Torabi. He has had so many chances with TM. Not only does he not have a neck, he doesn’t have any quality in attack and has consistently been a waste of space. He can’t even dribble against mid tier Asian opponents.

Taremi has always had sooti here and there, this is nothing new. Azmoun being wank up front is expected given his career trajectory. He should stay as a super sub.

Ezatollahi… the good is he is physical, has good tackles and anticipation. The bad is that my god was he so sloppy in possession. I encourage you all to watch the game and just focus on his pass completion and possession . He gave away so many passes and needlessly hoofed up balls to UAE GK. Are we really this desperate for midfield talent? Is PGL really this empty?

Anyone else not feeling as excited during these qualifiers? 4 years ago, 3 points away against a tricky arab team felt amazing. Now it's just meh.

Maybe because you must be garbage not to qualify with the new format, or simply because we have a shitty manager with no bright future.

For me it’s this way for 2 reasons

- our coach is so bad, there’s zero hope we will do anything in the WC. With Carlos and our strong defense you knew we had a chance against even the best teams. We know deep down that a lowly rated team can move past us pretty easily, also our top players are aging so they will obviously be older and worst come the WC. We don’t have too much young talent / we don’t see the talent used to get excited for the future. In short, we aren’t as good, we are poorly managed, and the path suggests we will just get worst come the WC.

- The new WC format destroyed the fun of the qualifiers. It’s pretty difficult to not quality now. We also have gotten used to qualifying consistently now.

Stupid Arab fans throwing bottles onto the field

We Iranians are the worst offender in this regard. Didn't you watch the previous match?

Odds are the same as before (2/6 in group qualify directly) - and it's even more competitive now with how much better the less known teams are getting.

I wonder if CQ watches our games lol.

We need one of Hosseinejad or Nourollahi in midfield.

Our team looks colossal. Our CBs did ok but they are sooooooo slow. They need someone with speed in front of them.

Literally a backline of hairy Per Mertesackers

We need a close out dmf .

When up come in and close the game.

Unfortunately gorbani was given that opportunity and that pk if stand was his fault.
Ghorbani is not it.

Like pp when up goal last 2 years asadbigi would come in and he just run ,destroy othe team passes, push the ball forward and kill the clock.....

Think it’s been more entertaining as the bottom teams have more to play for so you’re seeing teams like Indonesia and Kuwait rise to the occasion doing a fair bit better

if you’re a fan of a mid tier Asian team it’s arguably the most entertaining qualifiers ever

if you’re a japan or Korean fan for example then yes it’s boring

Playing away with a bit tougher opponents and in superhot weather.

6 points in the bag and we are off to October.

GN getting the job done, as much as most people here praying he screw up.

Sure if you're satisfied with the bare minimum. We aren't Bahrain. We are Iran. Our standards should be much much higher

As an employer of a company, would you be satisfied with a worker who is given access to more quality machinery and still produces the same as another worker who is doing everything manually?

This was a good result and a terrible performance. Looks like the bad game good game streak is over.

For the love of me I dont understand two things about Iranian players, I need clarity:

1) Why TF do they stop running and ruin a great chance just to get a foul call by a referee. From what unGodly place did they learn this in football?

2) After the same players playing together for years and years why dont they know how each other make runs.

I really think GN game management is terrible. Picking lineups he is decent in but his reactiveness in management is not better than any other TM fan

this is really true..!!

as ive said for long time, his only true exceptional talent lies in Good/sensible Team Pickings .....!! otherwise he seem to possess lil to none tactical, formational (XO's) knowledge and even more disconcerting is his game mgmt abilities sucks asss to say the least..!!
in terms of coaching Overall, he comes across as one of the two team captains in our typical sunday league games (sorta like your's truely) ke khoob Midoneh keeyaro var dareh o kojahaye zamin bezareh so that you could naturally have a good functioning team... amma aggeh yeki dota bazikonaash massdoom mishano, yek dota ghar mikonano miran khooneh o ye yarroo bazikoneh khoobe digeh dir mirese o be teame digge mire, hame karri ke kardeh boodeh riddeh mishe o mirre radde karesh...!! lol

Ezatollahi is still the best option there. He's assured and knows how to defend + transition the ball from defense to attack.

Ghorbani has very poor defensive capabiliyt.

Hosseinnejad should be in for Noorafkan.

I agree. Indeed I am talking about who Ezatolahi's partner is and should Hosseinejad or Nourollahi if he is at his best.

We need some more legs in midfield.

Ideally it would be Amiri from 6 yrs ago or a different similar workhorse.

At this rate I dont see how we plan on attacking Qatar/Uzbekistan because their teams are much faster than ours.

[Pluto2000]

When are Majid and Sadegh coming back?

Majid will be back next March. He just got surgery like a few weeks ago for his AC injury lol.

Sadegh will be back next camp
