Ideal Shojaei Replacement

[Sly]

Who do you think would be better suited for the CAM/attack-minded CM role in Iran's starting lineup? It'd have to be someone who
1. Actually plays in the center (so not Khalatbari)

Actually I've gotta say Khalatbari has played in CAM before when he was playing in Zobahan and he does the job tremendously well! The only problem is that CQ doesn't believe in the guy!

But I also totally agree with Behrou (Ba-Honar)! Dejagah can play well in the CAM too!

What we really needed was a fully healthy and in form Moharram Navidkia! Sigh!!!!

As for the replacement of Nekounam..... now that's a very tough one! I don't think that any of the players on the bench can actually replace him! I think Haghighi has been overrated so far too!

If I was a coach I would go to 4-4-2
----------------------JB/Gucci-------------Azmoun/AF-------------------
----DJ-------------------NN-------------------Ando------------------Khalatbari
Hajsafi-------------------Montazeri------Hosseini------------------Heydari
Shojaei a sub for DJ or Khalatbari.
But otherwise admit it shojaei is best CAM awailable

The most obvious choices are Jahanbakhsh and/or Azmoon when Gucci is up front.

[Bi-honar]

The most obvious choices are Jahanbakhsh and/or Azmoon when Gucci is up front.

I think/hope/pray that JB has solidified his position as the RAM and we won't be seeing Shojaei or Heydari in that position any more.
