Who are three players that you would like to see join TM at the beginning of the WCQ?

[irani8perspolis]

Nourollahi, Taremi, Kaveh + new AK

[AminGP]

Iran is not Afghanistan so that a U19 club players or 4th English league players get invited, and that's why I find the suggestions for Saeid to be called up at the beginning of qualifiers to be completely illogical.

I didn't see you previous posts but you're absolutely right it makes sense.

[Ghermez Agha]

Ahmad Nourolahi, Amin Hajmohammadi, Iman Sadeghi

[O-ZoNe]

Ezzatollahi as a late sub, in matches we will win easily, or when we have a comfy lead...get him the national experience when not in conflict with his club or U23...groom this kid now to be a boss on the field later.

[Bi-honar]

Faghat Enayati!

Joking aside, it would be nice to see Taremi, Sharifi and Mottahari tried in a few games and I hoep to see Rafei back in the mix real soon.

Is there something wrong with Mehdi Sharifi that CQ never chooses him.

Let's see the criteria

-22 years old (not too inexperienced)

- Plays for Sepahan (reputable team)

-scored 7, assisted 4 thus far (pretty decent)

-has backed up his impressive form from last season (not just some 'Padideh' that disappears next season)

Why would a Vahid Amiri get picked, but not Mehdi Sharifi is beyond me.

Please, would someone care to explain?

Sharifi is a striker, where we have Azmoun and Ghoochannejhad and even Ansarifard (who knows if he will be picked for the next call up), while we are a little short on wingers, could that be why?

Amiri is in-form and the key player of Iran's current best team, although he's a winger while Sharifi is a striker as CK said, so it's not really comparable.

And the reason why he has not been given enough chances is probably CQ's obsession with Ansarifard and partly because Sharifi isn't particularly shining ATM. He's young obviously he's not going to play every match outstandingly so it's understandable.

Hassanzadeh on the other hand has been scoring a lot lately and earned his call-up vs Sweden/Chile even though he should've had more minutes compared to Karim. Now I would say Motahari deserves a spot more than Sharifi but both should definitely be given a go during the WCQ.

I think it would be a good idea to field entire domestic teams at home vs the likes of Guam, Turkmenistan, India with at most with 2 or 3 1st team players like Ando, Hosseini and see what they can do.

^^ can we agree that CQ hates even the slightest of changes to his preferred starting eleven?

His squads are so predictable.

What message does that send to hardworking IPL players that even if they are inform, they will not get any game time in TM.

Yeah I kind of agree with that. Although I am satisfied with the way he inserted Pouraliganji, Amiri and Ghafouri into the squad but it would be nice to see even more young players.

My guess would be that now that we are going to start the WCQ against very weak opponents, he will start using more experimental lineups than before. It would be ideal to use these games to give experience to some younger players so that they can adapt and prove themselves easier, to become part of the team permanently.

I think it would be beneficial to have players like taremi and kaveh rezaei to join TM, train with them and sit on the bench to learn.

They can also fight for a position in the team. Just being with TM will be good for them.

Regarding ezatolahi. He isn't just some random U19 english fourth dev player. He is playing in ATHLETICO MADRID! He has come up the ranks of youth team mellis and he is an extraordinary talent.

I disagree with those who say he should not be brought in to TM. No one said he will be a starter but just like how Sardar trained with TM before WC and gained a lot from that, so will he.

I said everything that needed to be said, but I quickly will sum it up for you, for the nth time.

No, he does not play for Atletico Madrid, he plays for Atletico Madrid U19 against teenagers, has almost never experienced pro football against grown ups except couple of minutes in IPL games. Everyone is excited that he wears a red and white stripped Nike shirt, I get it, I am hopeful for him as well and look forward to his future, but there is no way at all he would be even an option at this point yet. Most of you want to accelerate his growth out of excitement when he still has an awful lot to do to reach even a simple call-up, let alone being a starter.

I can currently name 5-10 players that are under 23 in that same position that are a level above Saeid, and I'm sure CQ would be able to do so as well. On the bright side he is in good hands, will develop much faster than other young Iranians and his time will come, probably in 1-2 years, but definitely not now.

You mention Azmoun, great example, just that you used it completely wrong. He was a starter for Rubin in one of the best leagues in Europe but still didn't get a call-up until he was 20. Was he a "random U19 english fourth division player" before he gets called up to TM? No, exactly, and the same applies to Saeid.

You earn your call-up, TM is not khooneye naneh. Neither Sardar was called up because he was a decoration in Europe, nor Jahanbakhsh; both earned their positions with TM by playing well in decent leagues and the same applies and was always applied to everyone.
Calling him up now would be the most foolish thing ever as not only is he not ready, but it would be useless interruptions of his club games and development to come and sit on a bench. Who loses here? Both TM and Saeid. His first tasks for now should be trying to use his situation in Spain the best possible, play regularly, try to get into TM olympics first, sign with a pro team, impress there and only then get a call-up.

[PersianLegion]

Kaveh Rezai is for sure one of the three.

Because CQ was obsessed with Ansarifar. LAst season Sharifi scored in almost every game (IPL & ACL) & Karim was taken over him. This season Sharifi has been used as right winger in some games so he hasn't shined as much. Against PP he was back as CF & we saw he scored 2 goals (one wrongfully called offside) & almost scored another one where Nouri miraculously saved it with his head. That was a rocket & very few players would get in the way of that. My respect for Nouri was doubled for that save.
