Solid first half, we should bring on Ebrahimi for Hajsafi gives us a more defensive lineup without sacrificing much offense and can also rip a few shots to test lobanov. Also good on set pieces of course

Overall a good half with a brilliant 30 minute performance from TM at the beginning... great passing, fast fluid game, nice on and off the ball movement, good switches, nice hustling up the field, etc.
Basically, the 1st 30 minutes had everything you'd expect from a talented bunch of guys. I think we lost a little bit of our composure after the goal, not sure if this is because the Uzbeks came back hard or we sat back intentionally... hope it's the 1st one.
Didn't see much from Amiri and especially Taremi but other than that I think it was great teamwork... I think the word I most often saw in the predictions before the match was CQ's "predictability".
Well, he mixed it all up with the line-up and the Uzbeks seemed as confused as us. And frankly, every time he throws in some of the unpredictability TM seems to flourish, like we did against Chile.
Hope we come out in the 2nd half the same way we started the 1st and put this match out of reach for Uzbekistan with another goal. Sitting back and countering on a 2 goal advantage is okay.
