No taremi all i can say!

[Iranianarsenal11]

1.Haghighi (GK)

2.Mohammadi (RB)
3.Hosseini (CB)
4.Montazeri (CB)
5.Torabi (LB)

6.Jahanbakhsh (RM)
7.Ezatollahi (DM)
8.Shojaei (CM)
9.Hajsafi (LM)

10.Azmoun (ST)
11.Goochannejhad (ST)

Although the team is probably our best on paper, a lot of players are out of position... Shojaei isn't defensive enough to play CM and I doubt Torabi is played at LB... Those are probably our best talents though

[Iranianarsenal11]

Jahanbaksh is miles better? In which universe?

In 21 games for TM, he's only scored twice. Compare that to Torabi who has doubled that in half as many games. ARJ is a good player with a good head on his shoulders, but is also extremely overhyped. Torabi has better raw talent and he's clearly more effective.

Teymourian has never been captain material, he's a little too immature, and also completely out of shape at the moment.

Goalscoring does not always make you a better player. JB's dribbling and passing is already more developed than Torabi's. I agree Teymourian is out of shape rn, but too immature? Where did you get that from? And how has he never been captain material? LOL

lol come on... Im salty too but you cant just leave out those three hahahaha

[Iran_19]

It will be challenging and good problem for coach to name the midfielders and forwards. We have way too many options. I can name another 10-12 players who probably deserve the call, we have like: Ando, Bakhtiar, Ali Karimi, Shojaeian, Pahvalan, Alishah in midfielder and like Sajjad, Zohaivi, Kaveh Rezaei, Tabrizi in attack.
The real issue is defenders, we are a bit thin in this position, specially for central defenders, the gap between Hosseini and Montazeri and the rest is huge.

[AsOen5]

Beyt saeed is forward not midfielder.

He is a Winger like Rafiei so I put him there.

[Iran_19]

He is a Winger like Rafiei so I put him there.

Rafiei is CAM who can play as winger, Beytsaeed is more like target forward, Zohaivi play as winger/forward.

[Ghermez Agha]

For WCQ's we usually call up 25-26 players for games not 23 so I'll include a few extra names

GK's: Alireza Haghighi, Alireza Beiranvand, Rashid Mazaheri

Defense: Pejman Montazeri, Jalal Hosseini, Milad Mohammadi, Vouria Ghafouri, Danial Mahini, Mohammad Ansari, Saeed Aghaee, Morteza Pouraliganji

Midfielders: Ehsan Hajsafi, Ali Karimi, Saeid Ezatolahi, Andranik Teymourian, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Meysam Doraghi, Ashkan Dejagah, Soroush Rafiei, Mehdi Torabi, Masoud Shojaie

Forwards: Sardar Azmoun, Reza Ghoochannejhad, Karim Ansarifard, Sajjad Shabasszadeh, Vahid Amiri



man making that list made me realize how damn hard it is to break into TM these days, theres so many more players deserving of a call up that just cant make the cut because of our depth. good problem for CQ to have at the end of the day.

vs Qatar:

Haghighi
Montazeri PAG Hosseini Milad Mo
Ezatolahi Ando
JB Shojaie Dejagah
Azmoun


vs China:

Haghighi
Ghafouri Montazeri PAG Milad Mo
Ezatolahi Ando
JB Shoajei Torabi
Azmoun
