Shameful from A to Z! Now it is time for them to rest and entertain us with their fake EU interest and their real arab moves.

Uzbek were trashed by NK, so we weren't that good finally

Haha very well said. I watched the game my friend and your estimates are definitely not inaccurate.
Shame Shame Shame.

And the other guy comparing this game to Argentina Vs Paraguay....hahahahaha cool story bro.

[ehsan singapore]

some players were very poor,hajsafi,heydari was very very bad, taremi wasnt that good, i think omid ebrahimi did nothing, ezatollahi would have done better to be honest

[Camran khan]

Lol @people wanting to point at one player, this was a terrible team effort, they were all bad.

[Omids]

No on has rated the ground. it rated a minus 5 for me.

The ground was terrible to run with the ball, it kept bobbling and hard to control, I think that greatly effected our technical players. Obviously the Turkmans were better accustomed to it.

[Taz]

Haghighi 6
Montazeri 5 - should have led better as the most experienced man in the defence
Kanani 5
Hajsafi 4 - wow, see below
Ghafouri 6
Teymourian 6
Heydari 5 - not as bad as being made out, his energy and running usually makes up for his lack of ability and he was digging out some Beckham crosses in the second half once that awful CM experiment ended at HT.
Masoud 4 - He's back
Amiri 5
Torabi 5
Azmoun 6

Ebrahimi 5
Taremi 6
Ghoochannejhad 5

Some noteworthy points:

- First half distribution from keeper was poor, he kept going long and we weren't winning much at all, turned into wasting possession frequently and it's how their goal came about too. Not Haghighi's fault but at least management spotted it and told him to go short in second half.

- Why was Heydari playing AM alongside Masoud in some 4-1-4-1 formation in the first half? Was he so ill-disciplined as to forget his duties and it was actually meant to be our usual 4-2-3-1 or did we think Ando could do it all? Because he couldn't, he doesn't have the legs to cover the entire midfield by himself and it left us exposed with no midfield presence. RIP Javad, times like this we all need to light a candle for the man.

- Hajsafi...has he played LB at all in the past couple of years? I recall him being quite a competent left back but Allah help us if we try that again, he defended like a real creature, over committing into tackles, getting on the wrong side of attackers, getting caught out of position, it was embarrassing. And more annoying as he is one of our best players in midfield and showed his qualities at times when he wasn't in defence. Get Hashem or whatever other IPL LB you can find in there and stop wasting Ehsan.

- AM spots...Dejagah's quality was bitterly missed but if this shows something, it's that AJ's route to the first XI is wide open now. Torabi, Taremi and Amiri all played like the IPL players they are, head down and dribble with the ball like you're in the playground. Taremi was the liveliest and at least did a few notable things but that header he missed was pretty disgraceful and overall, these boys have a long way to go. Their performance shows the importance of a foreign footballing education, the attacking play really was reminiscent of watching some naive ACL crap.

All in all, we missed Dejagah, Hosseini, Pouladi and even AJ badly. The pitch didn't help and we had the chances to win but as a team, that was still not good enough and the attacking play was awful, no ideas at all.

[rezabmehr]

slow start by TM again. Many new players, bad pitch, below par performances and too many wasted passes. They played like high school kids.

[ilovefootball]

They were not all bad.

Masoud Shojaei and Heidari were the worst. They should never play for us again. Haya nemikonan khodeshoon?

Other than Kanaani and Ghafouri playing half decent, I think everyone else was below average.

I said this to you guys about a week ago and got a lot of heat for it. Ando's already beyond his peak and that slow but steady slide more or less started after the Asian Cup. He was disappointing in the ACL, cost Tractor the championship and was a former shadow of himself in both games against Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

And we can blame the the goal yesterday on Ehsan, but it started with Ando's terrible clearance that put HS under pressure and from that point on Ando was unable to keep up with the play or providing coverage behind his defender.

Expecting him to be performing three years from now like he did at his peak in 2014 is very much like having expected Daei to perform in WC 2006 like he was performing in 2002.

Don't get me wrong, I love the guy and what he has done for TM and he was AMAZING at the world cup, but the pressure to keep performing is getting to him and having him as our captain is not helping matters.

so after this match it's safe to say Hajsafi will not be making it to Europe this transfer period?

And you don't have to watch the match to know Heydari is utter shit. I cannot for the love of me understand how he not only gets selected for TM, but somehow manages to play!
Is his dad an Akhoond or something?

edit: Heydari started?!? is this real life?

Yes, as an AMF!
