Anyone got a link for d highlights

[Nokhodi]

I was working so missed the first half and then watched last 30 minutes of second half. Really poor performance from what I saw. The clearances from our defenders and midfielders were rushed and poor, why do we have a tendency to play like a bunch of school kids with no composure. The team need to have some sort of anxiety training when they play for the national team as everything is rushed.
There needs to be some changes with this team/squad but it won’t happen. We need fresh legs but no one is coming forward, as long as we make the World Cup then they won’t make changes.

This is the sort of thing that is a result of upbringing. Our culture as is leads to complacency, lack of accountability, and no responsibility.
You only are as strong as your weakest links and I am not wise enough to pretend there is an easy way to fix this except with years of practice at youth levels.

I’ve been saying this for years now but Shoja and Kanani are not worth more than my left tokhm, and Ghalenoi is not worth more than my right one.

[Prowess]

Not a big GN fan, but to be fair, the Azmoun miss before halftime was very bad. The build up to the goal scoring opportunity was good.

In both instances that we got scored on, we had enough numbers, but just very poor individual defensive awareness. This would never fly under CQ. He’d rip them a new one for those errors.

Now that we have qualified, its time to move the goalposts.

The next excuse for why we can't play Hosseinejad will be "We need to win to keep our world cup ranking for pot 2".

Then after that, its going to be "its too late, we need to get the starting 11 maxxed out together instead of introducing new players"

Then next asian cup, its going to be "one last hoorah for these oldsters"

Then next world cup qualifying cycle its going to be "these old players are still good enough, our youth is not as good11~!"

Mental weak JB needs to be dropped ASAP , this team will have 3 loses at the World Cup I am calling this now ,,,

[Pluto2000]

Honestly rewatched the leadup to both goals, and the two most at fault are Shoja and Milad.

Shoja - incredibly bad decision making
Milad - bad decision making AND failing to cover mark the attacker.

I think 80% of our defensive problems could be fixed if we subbed Shoja for a CB who can properly mark and find someone who can actually play football for LB. The other 20% is a combination of DMs, weak goalkeeping by Beiranvand, and unreliable Hardani who is sometimes good/sometimes bad

First goal is on Hardani.
Loses a header (against the tallest Uzbek player) because he is out of position.... then tries to recover, but again is so out of position that JB has to run back and try and cover for him. Same player makes the cross.

Besides one tackle in the 2nd half, I would say he was pretty much our 2nd worst player last night.

I agree with your bro Hardani sucks But,

go watch the highlights again

. And you see that Again milad and shoja F up and can’t clear a simple cross,

2nd goal Biero and shoja what they doing ? But mostly beiro

these 3 to 4 players this year in tractor and Persepolis , Berio , kanani , shoja , even Milad we can make a highlight compilation lasting 10 minutes of these 4 making mistakes after mistake


Berio

Kanani Shoja Milad


This zoj those not work if you playing against a decent team, whoever the coach is they need to understand that at the World Cup these 4 players can’t not compete, and they will make alot of mistakes ……. They make a whole boat load of mistakes in the IPL every week ….

i hated CQ tactics , but one think he was really good at finding defenders and he seriously over looked these 2 clowns kanani and shoja with great reason cause not only do they hurt the team when the play but the also hurt the team when they don’t play ,,,.

Jusr having them on the team is a big distraction, I would go as far as even saying the same for Beira nowadays every game he makes a mistake ,,..

no one is bigger than the team ? No

I think you don’t invite these 3 for the next 2 games and seriously test the replacements ,

How old is Hardani ? 26

Compared to Shoja Milad and kanani? 35 31 31

how many caps does Hardani have ? 12

Compared to shoja milad kanani? 49 69 59


berio 79 caps 32 years of age . ?

jahanbakash 31 years 91 caps ,?

these player aren’t getting any better , JB still can’t give a proper pass , he still can’t even do a proper shot ! I mean isn’t time we actually give the replacements a chance win or lose .

Sardar 31 92 caps
Taremi 32. 91 caps

we have so many player approaching a 100 caps

it troubling that , seriously neither Sardar or Taremi or JB , or Beiro need the experience anymore they need to 2 some even 3 World Cup already,,,,,

we need to test the replacements now …

I don't disagree, but watch what Milad was doing the whole lead up to the player that scored the goal. He's completely unmarked until right before the cross happens, then he hands him the ball. I'm less concerned about RB because Moharrami will be back eventually, but how many times does Milad need to be yelled at to mark his player? Beiranvand yelled at him both last time and this time. He's back to being the scared Milad that was benched by Haj Safi at AEK Athens

Defense gets a -63736446 score out of 10. My dad and his friends would do a better job defending.
Bangladesh U17 would have scored a few against that defense and goalie. they were completely lost...

Did anyone else notice that Sardar didn´t celebrate last night? I haven´t seen any pictures of him during the celebrations either. I wonder if he was just disappointed in himself or if he feels like there isn´t anything to be happy about as the team doesn´t play well? It´s all speculations but Sardar has always been the goofy and happy guy.

Probably a mix of it
