Let's Talk Goalkeepers

[Keano]

Well I believe Beiranvand should not be our first choice.

I made the above statement/truth first so that my following opinion will not be implied as club bias. Hossini is indeed a decent keeper, however he has also proven numerous times not to be too reliable and consistent. My main issue with Hosseini being the main TM keeper is his excessive emotional behavior on the pitch (Of the pitch demeanor should not be a factor for any player's merit) His emotional reactions and overly sensitive behavior worries me. I don't think I need to mention them as I am sure all your football followers know what I am referring to.

Such extremely emotional players can be real fragile and temperamental as well, and we cannot risk it with our keeper. He is still young, with not much experience on the pitch with big and popular teams (Tremendous pressure) this pressure may take a toll on him in bigger stages and make him collapse. Give him a few more years guys and I am sure, he will turn into one of our best keepers hopefully!

And what experience did Haghighi have when he became our no.1 GK during the WC? How about we show support rather than to say he is not ready, maybe he is ready.

My main objection was his emotional breakdown which can be costly. Haghighi prior to the World Cup had been Perspolis’ keeper for several years, as well as having played in Russia with Rubin Kazan.

Plus as far as composure and calmness in the goal, the 2 are not even comparable.

Once again I do not deny Hosseini’s great goalkeeping ability. My main concern is his emotional and nerve wracking behavior. Did you see his face prior to the penalty? I felt poor guy will have a heart attack!

Hosseini looks like a true PK killer...

[Taz]

Just seen the double-save off the penalty, sweet Allah...

Bring him on for Beiravand if any of our KO games go to penalties.

Hosseini has been playing really well for a while. Saying it is judging him on one performance is disingenuous.

It’s hard to tell Mazaheri could have a chance, but Amir Abedzadeh just became Martimos Goalkeeper so it could be both but, everyone is still deciding still maybe Hossein Hosseini could too. But if I had to choose I would choose Amir Abedzadeh, but just bring him before the World Cup to try him on field

Personally I think it will go between Hosseini and Abedzadeh for the 1st GK spot.

Hosseini had some solid saves right now against Sierra Leone, let's see if Amir starts today for Maritimo...

King Q is testing the different gk's. Obviously he doesn't have confidence in Beiranvand. This being said, his selection might be a complete surprise to us. Let's wait and see !

Many didn't even have Alireza Haghghi on the radar before WC and he started for us.

At this point, I am leaning towards:

Hosseini, Mazarehi and Abedzadeh.

Depends on how Haghghi does in Swedish league, he may get nod over Mazarehi. But the other two are essential right now.

[ABalls]

I hope we aren't discounting Haghighi -- once he starts playing again for this new team in Sweden we can see what form he is in (and perhaps he is also invited for the two remaining March friendlies).

The thing about Haghighi is that he's not afraid of the spotlight, is proven at the WC, has foreign experience and is a solid keeper. He might be the safest choice with so many unproven ones.

Also, it says a lot about the competitiveness of the AFC that we blazed though an entire qualifier without Beiro being able to prove himself.

[scuderia]

I think as it stand right now:
1- Hosseini
2- Abedzadeh
3- Mazaheri
4- Beiranvand
5- Haghighi

For CQ it's probably:

1- Beiranvand
2- Mazaheri
3- Hosseini
4- Lak
5- Abedzadeh
6- Haghighi

[PersianLegion]

My choice
1. Hosseini
2. Beiro
3. Mazaheri

Davari was playing in Bundesliga, which is/was a far better league than the portuguese one, grew up in German system. But failed to be better than Haghighi, and was completly deceiving in TM.

How is Hosseini on crosses?
