FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifier: Turkmenistan - Iran; Sport Toplumy,Dasoguz (16/6/2015)

[Ali.Karimi79]

To the average Mourinho at PFDC:

A good coach with a sane mind (read CQ) won't line up a newbie team in an official Qualifier game, no matter who the opponent is.
Once a satisfieing result is reached, promising players will be subbed in for gaining experience.

Lol @ the 7-0 prediction.

Apparently Turkmenistan made the dumb decision to not play their foreign based players against guam and keep them for iran. So this game will be a little tougher but should still be a comfortable win. But probably not with as big a margin as some seem to think here since tm still has finishing problems.

If Gucci doesnt get his shit together, I dont know what to say.

Gucci should go back to Qatar, we should be playing azmoun or sharifi in this game, even taremi deserves a start more than gucci

[Abtin]

I hope Iran perform a Germany - Gibraltar on them

[Martin-Reza]

^ I don't think Turkmenistan are even closely as weak as Gibraltar and we're not quite as strong as Germany , so don't expect too much.

This is one of those games that Gucci, and Azmoun can bag alot of goals. Specially Azmoun to stand a chance at breaking Daei's record.

Watch CQ play 4-2-3-1 against Turkmenistan! Instead of playing atleast with 2 forwards like 3-5-2 or 4-4-2.

I'd like to see this line-up and formation against Turkmenistan:

----------------Haghighi--------------------
Ghafouri-Montazeri-Kannani-Pouraligangi
-----------Andranik-Hajsafi----------------
Torabi---------------------------------Amiri
--------Azmoun-Ghoochannejhad---------

A 4-2-2-2 with Azmoun staying a little behind Gucci since he is better with the ball and passing. It would be insane to start both together. I'd really see a goalfest with this line-up. I'd bring Shojaei in for Gucci or Azmoun at 65th minute. Ezatollahi for Hajsafi around 75th (earlier if he's not doing well in the CM position. Final sub could be anyone CQ feels right.

PAG as LB lol? And also, what makes you think CQ would make the big change or 1 to 2 strikers? He has never looked to change his formation since being TM head coach.

Turkmen reporter asked Sardar about playing against Turkmenistan as someone with Turkman ethnicity. He said I am Iranian and will fight for my country regardless of opponent.

Dame Sardar garm.
