Your 23 players for Qatar and China WC2018 qualification matches

[AsOen5]

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

No, Rafiei played most of his league games as a RW/LW and Beyt Saeid played most of his recent games LW while Zahivi was Striker.
I guess I know what I am talking about as I have to watch every game of IPL because of the match reports on transfermarkt.
The last 2 games of SS Khz were also Beyt Saeid LW and Zahivi Striker

How come I dont see a lot of Reza Gucci names in the starting line up? Is there a reason why Azmoun cant play along Gucci up front. IMO that would be deadly.

It's just that CQ usually only uses 1 striker at a time against these kind of opponents

That can be the line up when you want play a conservative game, let say playing vs Korea in Korea but i rather to have Montazeri as CD, because he has the best first pass for defender and in today football, play making start from defender(or even from keeper), so time of zire-top zadan for sake of it for defenders is over.

Also i guess as we talk beside Ezzatolalhi, Kamyabinia is best DM we have and he is in better forme compare to Ebrahimi, but overall i like your line up. mixture of experience and young players, add like Torabi, Rafaei and Taremi or Gucci in second half and this team can do some damage.
The good thing is the gap between starters and bench warmers other than very few positions like Azmoun and Jalal Hosseini is not Huge, which is sign of good team and it shows you have a pretty good depth.

[BacheLot]

didnt we have a another thread like this before..??
anyways here we go, my preferred starters for Gutter WCQ coming up
---------------Beiranvand-------
Montazeri----PAG----Hossaini-----Milad
---Omid/Ando/Kamy?----StoDa Ezzai---
Reza/ARJ?------------------------------Torabi
-------------------cashkan------------------
--------------------Azmoun-----------------
field mostly young and fittest starting caliber players, Run @ these mofo's like a bat outa hell from every direction, High Energy ALL Out Pressing when not in possession of the ball..! the first player to poop out and start to huff n puff, the first candidate for sub starting early in 2nd half..!!
4231, (with the 3 free to roam about a little, mostly switching places between them as see fit to keep Gutter defenders on their heel, and unable to adjust to the attacking style of their marker..!)
no more fking ties .....!
MUST WIN This match to dramatically reduce gaavbandi opportunities for these scandalous scumbags, late-on in the qualification process..!

Ebrahimi makes me very nervous. Too many times I have seen him struggle physically against even teams like Guam.
Yes he gets involved in all plays, but he just isn't at a higher level. Unfortunately Kamyabinia is probably just as nervous.
We were very blessed with Teymourian and Nekounam in that section of the field.

he played one forward cause we only have one forward now we have more than 1 forward he can play both

he just is too small framed and lightweight to be a stout and physically punishing DM like Ando..! he really is more of a all around, ball distributing CM than a DM, and he sure seems more comfortable going forward than pulling back to help out defensively..!
yet his movement Without the Ball is second to none (which is a blessing for players around him, cause he is always there to provide the ball carrier with an easy outlet pass) usually plays Clever football, has decent poise and an excellent touch and accuracy on long passes which is pivotal in CQ's counter-attacking tactics..!
top that with great, hashieh-less, workman like attitude and he has certainly slowly but surely Earned his More of an Starter- Status in CQ's (The most Difficult and Demanding) CM/DM position..!

all that said, I'll take a Fit ANDO over him, most any game ...! especially vs a bigger and more physical teams like Gutter..!

also I was very impressed with Kamibinia's overall performance in his limited time Debuts in friendlies and yes even he seem defensively sound and secure than Omid..!! but not so sure he has spend enough time with TM to be completely in tune with our system of play and/or ready for sure to be a more intense WCQualifying playing environment...! after all, from my recollection he has only featured 2wice both in friendlies and that late-on in the games ? when both teams test out their scrubs..!!?

perfectly said.....I would want to give Meysam Doraghi a chance in a friendly though, I rate him higher than kamyabinia ATM but overall not sure if he is as good as ebrahimi but when it comes to playing as a true DM I'd say he might be better. As you said, ebrahimi defensively isn't as reliable when it comes to physical challenges, although, for someone his size he is a strong dude. If he was bigger he would be perfect, he reads the game well thats why he is a great CM and not a DM IMO, he needs to step up for esteghlal I know it has only been 2 games but those were two of the weaker performances I have seen from him.

never heard of that guy..? but i'll take your word for it..!
if put in a good showing in the league im sure CQ will throw him an invite sooner than later..!
i suppose if Omid is currently rusty, then his position will be up for grab and whoever performs best in Training camp will snatch it..! Ando will surely have an upperhand in pecking order if he has shaken off his fitness funk yet..?? has he even played for his team this season yet..?
