Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ SC Heerenveen 2024/2025

[The]

Just call it the Belgian league.

It truly did feel like some Charleroi ass match.

[BacheLot]

thank you JB for proving me wrong again.

injury excuse was most likely bs ..!?
GN felt the pressure from khiabani & gang criticism of inviting him, didn’t wanna risk more backlash from playing him ..!?
Ps

He needs to get his shit together soon & prove he ain’t completely washed up..! Otherwise gooz luck finding another decent EU contract in summer ..!
& even so maintaining his place in TM ..!

ARJ in action today

That's exactly my thoughts as well. I think both ARJ and GN realized that his form considering him beeing clubless long time has been at lowest level hence they came up with this injury story. Unless ARJ start delivering, I dont think he will be called up again.

[Iran_19]

Yeah injury excuse is BS! He is done!

[Iranianarsenal11]

There are about 25-30 wingers in Iran who are better than him. He's finished. Nothing wrong with admitting it... He had a great career for team melli

Name 10 of them… lol. How about some respect for Jahanbakhsh? Only player since Ali Karimi to score in multiple games in AC knockouts. Winner against Japan and tied up Qatar once but unfortunately the last shot hit post. How much can one player do? Where was pfdc favorite Taremi in those last two games?

No way you're defending ARJ now it's official you're a Saudi agent

I'll name all 25 wingers better than ARJ right now btw:

1) Mohebbi
2) Ghayedi
3) Gholizadeh
4) Hosseinzadeh
5) Aria Yousefi
6) Mehdi Limouchi
7) Ramin Rezaeian (yes he plays RB but he's really a RWB or RW)
8) Mehdi Torabi
9) Allahyar Sayyadmanesh
10) Aghaeipour (can play winger and is currently better than ARJ)
11) Saharkhizan (can also play winger and is currently better than ARJ)
12) Vahid Amiri (still better than ARJ at age 36)
13) Mehdi Hashemnejad
14) Saeid Sadeghi
15) Reza Jafari
16) Mehrdad Mohammadi
17) Mohammadhossein Eslami
18) Reza Shekari
19) Mehrdad Ghanbari
20) Mohammad Amin Kazemian
21) Aref Rostami
22) MohammadMehdi Lotfi
23) Ehsan Pahlevan
24) Masoud Kazeymani
25) Omid Alisha

I really hope ARJ turns it around soon. He’s not that old, his body doesn’t have a lot of mileage, and he’s got a good motor.

He was an important player for us against Japan & Qatar. I still root for the guy, but think he should earn his spot on the starting lineup in TM, as it’s no longer a given.

[Pluto2000]

I really hope he turns it around too because in his current form he is disastrous. I genuinely think Haj Safi is more effective if put on wing compared to ARJ in his current form.

This is what happens when you don't have a team for 7 months:

[Iranianarsenal11]

And that's what I'm arguing of course.. I'm not saying he should never be called up again and that those 25 players have always been better or will be better

But that rather, ARJ is not as good right now because he's been unemployed for 6 months.

I think he'll be back as a top 10 winger for Iran soon.

Eyyy baba. When I post negative about TM player I’m bad and evil. When I post supportive I’m Saudi agent. LOL.

I agree with 5 in your list. Idk if you are making fun with some of these names i had to google. 34 years in a dead ipl team? Yeah Jb looked rough while not training with a club, and shouldn’t have been invited, but come on man. Who is mehrdad ghanbari? Lol

Btw another fun fact about JB… only player after Daei and Hash I can think of that scored in competitive game against both South Korea and Japan. He is TM legend. Where is the respect PFDC?

Match today. Starting lineup will be out in an hour.

Respect is fine and good.

Respect does not mean he can play until his Social Security kicks in like Branko wanted with Daei.

Mbappe won the World Cup for France in 2018. He was dropped recently for bad form. Are they being disrespectful?

Does Alireza deserve more leeway than Mbappe?

You do not need 10 or 25 names. If there are 2-3 better right wingers in Iranian football(inside or out) he should not make the TM list. What he did in the past does not matter. That is how merit works.

Full respect to his accomplishments for us but that doesnt necessitate a "pity invite"
