Let's Talk Goalkeepers

[inarsenewetrust]

I don't want to see Haghighi within a 100KM radius of a TM training facility. The guy is worst than Dejaghe when it comes to laziness, plus he isn't that good to begin with.
Rahmati deserves a call-up again. Despite his shitty personality, he's still the best goalie in Iran.
Beiro is on his way down, but still should be invited because of his long throws which are crucial for our Counter-attacks.
Hosseini should be considered, although his skills aren't anything special. Just a reliable dude, who isn't mistake-prone.
Abedzadeh, mainly because he has had consistent training in Portugal. Although his decision-making skills are sub-par and give away too many rebounds.

Seems you are having short term memory when it comes to rahmati. Guy cant come off his line for a cross to save his life.

Rahmati, who was hoping to lose to Qatar, so that his buddy GN would become NT coach again?
Who wanted to speak out the truth after the WC2014 and since then kept silence?
Who is dreaming of giving Harzate Zahre Mar water and kissing his hands?

No, thank you.
I take even third class Davari over him.

I get sleep less nights when I think about our GK issue. Beiranvand is just horrible, Haghighi is piss poor and the rest are not proven on international level. We really need someone to step up big time the following months

[yashar_fasihnia]

if Queiroz doesnt want to invite Rahmati, i think we should just stick with beyranvand, mazaheri and hosseini.

[scuderia]

I have 0 confidence in Beiranvand right now. I haven't seen him make a half decent save in months. Don't stress guys... for the first time in a long time, during the last match Iran played vs Venezuela CQ tried out a new goalkeeper for half the game (Mazaheri). What do you think that means? He see's that Beiranvand isn't at his best and he's evaluating the other goalkeepers. Don't forget he also invited Abedzadeh to those two games. He's been keeping an eye on the other keepers and I wouldn't be surprised if someone else starts the WC.

Thank you I’m glad I’m not alone....

The only GK that I feel should get tested during these upcoming friendlies is Mazaheri, he looks like the safest option so far. I haven't seen him making big sooti's like Haghighi and Beiranvand.

And it's wayyy too risky to start Abedzadeh, he's not even getting playing time at Maritimo.

Don’t forget Hossein Hosseini too. Between him and Mazaheri they are the two best in the league they are not flawless and have had their own suspect moments but they are easily the most consistent we got.

I agree, although I haven't really seen Hosseini play. Let's just wait and see who CQ will invite during the next match!

[maniei]

I would still count abedzadeh in, for the race of the number 1.
Yes, he had one huge blunder, but this still makes him look better than all the rest who has how many blunders?

Other than him mazaheri and hosseini have performed most solid in Iran.
I'm not against putting an inexperienced goalie in the world cup, as it worked out well last time around as well.

[Kian Persepolis]

We say, that now but once we put him in the game we see even worser things. I´d say test a couple of keepers last minute in our friendlies, but truth is Beiranvand will still be GK as he is on par with the back line.

You wanna rethink that statement now?

TBF we need to rebuild even the backline, idk man stupid defenders and goalkeepers thought it would be a good time to mess up now

His penalty saves were nice, but go back and look at the first Goal Al-Ain scored and you'd see his positioning was not that good. That's typically his problem. He has good reflexes, typically makes smart decisions regarding his exits, but his positioning is a bit off.

I still think we should wait to see him play against a much superior opponent, where he's tested many times before we get too excited about him.

Please tell me which game did Beiravand get tested agains strongly for us to decide that he is the best option? The only game he got tested against was our last Qualifiers where he led in 2 goals.

No one is saying Hossaini should be given the no.1 spot without being tested but for now he deserves to be the first GK to be tested for that no.1 spot.

[Persian-Pride87]

Hosseini's double save on the penalty kick today was indeed a thing of beauty. But I feel like we get too hyped up or depressed over a player in just 1 performance.

I think its safe to assume that Beiranvand no longer should be considered to have the 1 spot as TM's GK in the WC. He has routinely looked terrible for over a year now. It is definitely a trend.

Whether right now the favorite should be Mazaheri, Abedzadeh or Hosseini... I do not know.

Ultimately, which ever of these guys gets to start at the WC, I think the goalkeeper position is going to be our weakest spot once the WC starts.
