I don't know about you guys but I really think we are missing Jabbari since he retired. The only true "playmaker" we had left. Now we have to think long to see who can fill in that role. He was highly criticized but it's only when something is missing that you notice how important it was (print that on a T-shirt please).

Don't be fooled by that hat trick....all three of those goals were Micky mouse/easy goals that wouldn't be scored in any half decent league. The first header was soft, the second goal was a blunder by both the defender and keeper, and the third should have easily been taken by the defender. Nothing impressive whatsoever, not trying to be a downer here but rather just realistic.

I actually thought his third goal was the nicest, since he played it smart there how he moved to the left and then turned right to trick the defender.

[Malkay]

You gotta love the Arab commentators. They celebrate goals and get their prayers out of the way in one go. That's efficiency!

i suppose it looked nice to toy with amateur defenders, but that was actually a pretty dumb move to hold the ball up for defender to catch up (on a clear breakaway 1v1 with keeper) and then try to score the hard way by dribbling past him again to get a shot off..! a real striker woulda took that at the keeper and tucked it away inside the net fast and efficiently..!! a halfway decent defender in a more competitive match woulda dispossessed him and made him look a fool for squandering a golden opportunity..!!

True, it looked nice how he fooled him, but was definitely not the most effective way and a big risk, it looked like what you do when playing gol chuck or any kind of street football and you want to humiliate your opponent.

Just watched the goals Ridiculous as fuck.

If Masoud SHEGGAIE can score a hattrick there i am sure Enayati could have scored a dozen.

AK jaan,

In all fairness credit must be given when it's due. His goals and in particular his second and 3rd. Goals were beautiful. I think PFDC overall has been a little unfair towards Shojaei.

[Ando Teymourian]

Why all of a sudden they are amateur defenders?? If they are so amateur why didn't we smoke them in ACL last year?

Half of Al Saad plays for Qatars NT, so its pretty much the level we will be facing (at least in the group stages).

Just because Shojaei made them look foolish doesn't mean they are amateurs. I think people need to look up the definition of amateur before they use it in sentences.

Seeing those goals I think you are very wrong.
I think one of our female footballers would have scored that dozen. Let alone enayati.

[Doctor DOOM]

^ I know. Poor Enayati gets a bad rap in forums, totally undeserved.
He is a class striker.

Only football forum on the planet where they analyse a hat trick and use it against the player.


I said during WCQ, on these forums you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Shojaei playing well or not no longer matters. People have found a guy to zoom in on, and whatever he does will be spun into a negative.

We can win the Asia Cup and people will complain about the style in which we won. Just wait and see.


Shojaei scores a hat trick, the defenders and goalies were amateurs. I promise that if Masoud scored 3 screamers from distance people would say the goalie sucks at saving shots from distance.


Hey while we are at it, Messi only scored on us because he was given 0.5 seconds time too much.

Duste aziz, if you read again you will see that i gave him credit for scoring a hattrick . A goal is a goal is a goal. No matter how and who.
I simply want to make sure that people don't get fooled by this hattrick.
And i disagree with the 3rd goal being beautiful. Absolutely not. A player with a common sense should never go for a dribble in that moment. It turned out good for him and we applaus for him.
But what if he failed there?

Aziz, no it isn't like that.
If he could score like that in TM, i couldn't care less how he did score. Screamer or blunder or with his beautiful hairs. But HE NEVER did. Not that anyone expect him to score a hattrick lol.
I would be fine if he simply could run fast and wouldn't lose the ball.
He scored a hattrick and i am really really happy for him.

But please don't make it sound like he dribbled 15 men in Ebrahim Tahami Style and scored with a bicycle from the middle of the pitch.
( I know you didn't say that but you get my point )

[Ghermez Agha]

That 3rd goal was the worst one of them all IMO, that cut back was stupid and unnecessary as he was already 1v1 with the GK....no reason whatsoever to cut back on that shot! Would have been taken away in a heart beat from any decent defender!

bro the reason i am laughing is not only just you but most members on this thread believe that he made a incorrect choice in cutting back, but why? He was on his left foot on a not really good angle, and we know how fast he is, by the time he was all ready to shot the defender would have made a tackle. It is quite ridicolous that people still criticize him and call his decisions "stupid" when he scored a hattrick! Also the goal was awfully reminiscent of another goal he scored a while back. In La Liga. Against "decent" defenders. A player may lose his physical and mental attributes as he ages but he never loses his technical skills, if Masoud could do it then he can do it now.
