Yes, he has been disappointing for his standard the last couple of the games. His only positive today was winning every header over Japanese!

[Zamboor]

Good game.
Very different from our official games. Shows we can do better, but somehow we fall short when it truly matters. In other words, we know the potential for a quality performance IS PRESENT. We only have to transition this into official games.
Similar to the pre tournament Iraq game where we beat them, but when it mattered a week down the line, we fell short!


HAGHIGHI - 3
I am still not convinced about Haghighi. Yes he saved a 1 on 1. But he did what a goalkeeper SUPPOSED TO DO. It is his slip ups and howlers that ruin things for us. And this hasn't been the first game where he's had a howler. Nothing surprising though. When he doesn't get any games at his club, while waltzes in at TM and gets card blanche, obviously doesn't see any need to improve or push himself!

DEFENSE - 6
They did pretty good till minutes 60-65. But when the Japanese coach gave the order for high press, the defenders fumbled and quality dropped.
Hajsafi is wasted at LB.
Rezaeian at RW was at best average. But when he was brought back to RB, he flourished and did extremely well. Reliable alternative for Ghafouri.


DM's - 7.5
They did well and showed good composure and fighting spirit and energy. So much that the recent average Ando was not really missed.


MIDs - 8
Amir had spectacular patches here and there. The other times also he was good. A big difference from his recent official games.
Same thing for Dejagah who had started to worry us with his poor official turnouts. Poor penalty shot though, but Torabi saved his blushes. Needs to work on his stamina. The gutter league is like poison for our players.
Torabi, when he came in did very well by showing great energy and pace. The kind of hunger that was missing.


STRIKER - 6.5
Azmoun showed some good patches and some not so good ones. Maybe because he needs a backup or partner to take off some pressure off him. But he certainly has the talent and uses his height well. We can see a better Azmoun.




Edit: in my excitement to see an improvement in TM I may have been too generous for the scores. So a levelheaded me would knock 1 off every score off all. So an 8 is actually a 7. And so on.
I'm just happy to see the team show a better form.

I keep saying it Haghighi was great in the World Cup and i understand that changing the GK is like changing the root of a team but change is needed now if you ask me. Haghighi is a solid goal keeper but he has his flaws. Beiranvand is a more complete guy but he lacks international experience.

The rest of your opinions are spot on!

Ezatollahi - 7 (promising)
Rezaeian - 5.5
Dejagah - 5 (hold the ball too much sometimes + bad penalty. was active though but he should make his game more efficient)
Amiri - 7 (MVP - active, unstoppable and save a 100% goal of japan)

Azmoun - 5 (nice fighting spirit but the selfie thug behavious was unesseraly)

Torabi - 6 (nice activity. would like to see him and other offensive players was better combinaisons and not each one playing his own music)
Pouraliganji - 5 (he is like a kamikaze. Made two bad errors (pas or control) that could result on dangerous japanese counter attack)
Taremi - NA (What the point to sub in a player for 10 min in a friendly match)
Teymourian - NA

i think dejagah 5 is too low, the guy got balls fight, he got more than 5 for sure.ezatollahi should start the last 4 games, he can do well.we can gain enought point with him playing,i am sure.

Haghighi is good enough! Even Buffon has his mistakes from time to time! They are only humans too! I'm sure Beyravand, if given the same opportunity, would make as many mistakes as Haghighi if not more.

[khodam]

Haggigi. . . Unreliable. He makes too many mistakes for a goal keeper. Unfortunately he doesn't play in his club. And that may be part of the game day errors.

I thought the rest of the team especially the first half defence played very well. There is no need for grading them. A substantial improvement over Oman game.

I was also impressed how well the Japanese figured to closed all the holes after half time.

A good and 'entertaining" game worth spending two hours for.
