A draw should officially send us through.

[BacheLot]

Too many ties against them of late
time to put them back in their place with a convincing beat down & let them know who da Boss ..!

Sardar has talked so much sh1t about Uzbekistan, this is match to back it up.

Only concern is if uae drop point and qatar lose before OUR MATCH BEGIN
WE QUALIFY BEFORE THE UZBAK MATCH, AND PLAYERS LOSE INTENSITY.

also kabob is on the line for me if iran wins and
Sardar scored.

Forget about getting a draw. The players have to enter the pitch with an absolute WIN mentality.

We all witnessed what happened when the Genius CQ, went for a draw against the US at the WC.

Don't worry. Both Qatar and UAE will beat KRG and N Korea

[Hosseini]

I dont have a good feeling about this game. Expecting a loss

I'm just very concerned about this coach, no matter what direction I look in I can't see us doing well in 12-15 months. We're getting by facing low tier AFC opposition but this luck is gonna start running out soon when the oldies retire.

1. What is GNs system? two years in I still can't tell aside from Bezan Ziresh memes. Under CQ players had defined roles, they had their own zones, defense was organized, and we were ready to counterattack. Under GN I genuinely don't see that level of organization. Players are everywhere, and they aren't given proper directions. Example: vs UAE Cheshmi and Milad kept crossing each other and didn't know who would do the pressing.

2. What's the point of subbing in Karimi for Ghoddos at this point in qualification? What does that prepare the team for? Why not give Hosseinejad the last 10 minutes? Are we really starting Cheshmi/Ghoddos/Karimi vs the big teams?
