Nekounam & Ansarifard @ Osasuna | 2014-2015

[Ardalan]

Morabbie Osasuna az in baazi ekhraaj shodeh.

[Kiarash]

This team will get hurt for the weak defense and it has been missing a Masoud type of player.

[BacheLot]

Do you also feel that Javad is more involved in ball distribution in Osasuna compared to TM?

yea..! its obvious
in TM he is more restricted to defensive posturing and connected the D to MF by CQ and hardly ever allowed to venture up the pitch so far and so often as in OSA to get involved in the build up play..!!
probably another reason is that Osa badly lack a decent CAM...!!
in this game they Osa coulda badly used services of Massud ..! Zaragosa are in Zonal Pressure defensive mode all over the MF and Osa needs a technical player capable of beating their immediate marker and wrecking havoc in their organized defensive scheme..!

[Kiarash]

Watching this team it will take a miracle to qualify for the play-offs let alone promotion to La Liga.

[BacheLot]

ooof, Zargoza almost score again
the lob over keeper hit the upright

Yeah promotion 100% out of the picture...

[Kiarash]

Nekounam's ball distribution is fantastic, almost every pass makes it

[Kiarash]

Hopefully they can snatch away a draw here...

I don't know about you guys, but I honestly enjoy watching one of the top 5 IPL teams more than watching Osasuna!

I know some of you are going to freak out about this comment, but both skill wise and tactically, Osasuna are at par with a mid table IPL team (as a whole), although admittedly they're a little better fitness wise.

No you're right. Top IPL teams are arguably on par or better than teams of Osasuna's level in Liga Adelante. You can also use our clubs friendlies vs European teams, granted they are just friendlies but they usually get respectable/good results vs them. IPL bottom club Gostaresh without their key players have drawn Rubin's first team.

Ansarifard would struggle scoring with Naft Masjed or Rah Ahan as much as he is struggling with Osasuna.

Overall Liga Adelante is better but top IPL teams would beat most of their middle/bottom table teams.

[Kiarash]

First substitution made, no Ansarifard.

[BacheLot]

one sub gone
no karim yet

he should be brought on soon, Osa have no offensive venom atm

Masous could make that happen.

[jahandoost]

Masous could make that happen.

Really?

[Kiarash]

Osasuna can play all day long against this team but they would still not score with this kind of offense. Toothless.

[Kiarash]

Really?

Did you watch him play for Las Palmas? With all his assists he took them single handily to the play-offs.
