AFC Champions League 2015

Major tactical error from Branko not going for that early goal IMHO and not even having a target man far up on the field.

You can't sit back for 90 minutes like that and just soak-up pressure. It was a very risky move and obviously didn't pay off.

The BIG question is if PP can adjust their game plan now, because they do need that goal at some point.

By God, Nouri's passing is that of the Afghan 3rd division. What a piece of crap. PP should lose for even employing him honestly.

This is pure torture. So many wrong passes. Feels like Im watching a high-school team

I agree. Branko is overrated imo. Wtf do you expect when you play here?
If Makani and Nouri continue to play like this, PP will concede 2-3 more goals.

Indeed. How the fuck is this team so popular? Naft is like Barcelona compared to these overpaid soosools.

Wow, down 1-0, and 11 guys defending behind the midway line at all times. Makes CQ look like an offensive coach. Funny how people will bash CQ as being too defensive, but will overlook how Branko is employing a similar tactic and failing while CQ wins. Pisses me off how many don't notice this. I thought Branko was one of our "offensive" coaches. Haven't seen anything resembling an offense today.

When I see the level of this game I start to wonder why steven beitashour and Radjabali-Fardi have not been invited!!

PP needs one goal, then Al Hilal has to score 2 more to advance.

[onebloodfool]

Jesus, who the hell is that guy that always charge the saudi defense like a mindless buffoon, and always end up losing the ball?

[Karimi 8]

They are strong attacking from the wing, both our RB and LB have been beaten with their long threw balls. Our passing in the middle of the field is very poor, too many giveaways. Clearly the tactic was stick back for 90 minutes... didn't work and now we don't have much offensive ability going forward. Also their players have gotten away with a few fouls on us. Hopinh we exit tha half without getting scored on and make some substitutes. We need to score.

[Kiarash]

So the game plan is to park the bus for 90 minutes long...

That's a big IF. With the way PP is playing, they're going to need Reza Ghoochannejhad to rain from the heavens to give us a goal. Just saw our counter attack. What a waste. This game is shitty so far.

Alishah riid on a promising attack..
