"guys rostov = sinking ship", dont forget the wisdom that was demonstrated on this thread after rostov lost to bayern 4-0 away in their first CL game this season...

its not about their ability to play physical style, its about their ability to handle getting hit hard and taking rough challenges all game long.

firmino and coutino might be small players but they can definitely play physically.

So how someone like Firmino acquires that "ability to handle getting hit hard and taking rough challenges"? That characteristic can't be genetic (somehow Brazilians have it and Iranians don't ???). How would you train to tolerate hits? English football is all about work rate, skills and fitness- nothing more- nationality doesn't count, not one bit. You have every nationality imaginable playing in EPL. Football is not boxing; you don't need to have a good chin to be good at it.

I think Azmoun definitely has the skill to succeed in PL. But i dont think he should go there not because of failure, but because I think it will be worse for his development. As a young player, you need game time, and place where your development is the priority. This is not the case at most clubs in england. In germany and spain however, this is clearly the case, while you still get a level of competition on par with , actually probably better than the premier league.

I want you to re-read my post and then re-read your own response.

1) I never said that Iranians can not.
2) I never said that it is genetic.


I simply said that EPL is typically more suited to physical players.

The same reason that I think JB and Karim would fail to make any effect in a place like EPL.

Azmoun and ezatollahi are kotakkar just like dejagah and would be fine in the PL.

Work rate and physical strength are much more important in PL.

Hence so many failed Spanish strikers in PL.
Guys that scored like 20 a season in la Liga struggled to score 10.

Rostov lost 5-0, not 4-0.

At least Arsenal had the intention to go out and play open football instead of bunkering the bus with 10 men.

I'm actually pretty lost on what the point of this argument is but arsenal hardly scored from attacking, they put the ball in the net from the spot. Also doubt Arsenal will win the return leg, while Rostov...well we all remember what happened there!
