Unfortunately, while Karim is in great club form, he kind is tenative in team for some strange reason.

[Z Joon]

I would go


-------------------Mazaheri----------------
Rezaeian---Hosseini---PAG----Mohammadi
-----------Ezzatollahi-Ebrahimi------------
Jahanbakhsh----Shojaei--------Dejagah
-------------------Gucci-------------------


Guys like Torabi will be important to break the Syrian defensive shape

[PayamPersia]

Perfect Line Up Z Joon!

[sahandkarimi]

We need to win the game, I hope CQ goes with a more aggressive lineup. Something like below:

-------------------Akhbari----------------
Rezaeian---Hosseini--Montazeri---Mohammadi
----------------------Ezzat------------------
Jahanbakhsh--Shojaei-----Taremi----Dejagah
-----------------------Gucci-------------------

you maybe right, but CQ wont start him, he may get a sub replace for gucci

[Kian Persepolis]

I think this line up would be good

-------------------------Makani-----------------------
Rezaeian---Pouraliganji---Hosseini---Mohammadi
------------------------Ezzatolahi---------------------
-----Jahanbakhsh------------------Dejagah---------
-------------------------Shojaei-----------------------
---Ghoochannejhad---------------Ansarifard-------

[pres80]

I think this line up would be good

----------------------------------Makani------------------------------
Rezaeian---Pouraliganji---Hosseini---Mohammadi
------------------------------Ezzatolahi------------------------------
-----Jahanbakhsh-----------------------------Dejagah--------
-----------------------------------Shojaei------------------------------
------Ghoochannejhad---------------Ansarifard------------

I feel odd about putting Makani in. I feel he needs to be tested more before being given the start. How is the level of the league he plays in?

[Team Melli Fan]

So who are all the players that are injured or suspended for this match? Correct me if I'm wrong:

Azmoun (suspended)
Hajsafi (suspended)
Ghafouri (injured)
Beiranvand (injured)
Teymourian (injured?)
Haghighi (injured?)
Amiri (questionable injury)
Rafiei (cut?)
Aghaei (cut?)

Well I wouldn't say the Norwegian 2nd division is exactly a good league, but the opposition we're going to be playing against shouldn't be too different honestly

[perspolis#1]

Should have enough players to win. Most of Syria's players play in Syria, Iraq, Oman, Bahrain. An IPL only team should be able to win a game against that level caliber.

TM needs to come out guns blazing. It "seems" easy but will still be a challenge. A win will mean a relatively cozy path to qualification in the second set of 5 games. It will be more about avoiding defeat than having to pick up results.

Yeah I guess just training in a professional European environment is pretty good. But I think it would be unfair to Akhbari who has been consistently invited to TM while Sosha hasn't to not be played. Particularly as both Haghighi and Beirnavand are out. Akhbari is actually a really good keeper as well.

[DireStraits]

I think CQ will start a new lineup so it gets difficilt for the opponent to analyse.
I think he will start a strong physical team after the what we saw in Iran Iraq game.
Whatever he choses it will be very different from your ideal lineup. Also because he study who to put against who and therefore not always
JB is a good RW. I am almost sure he will try Mahini instead of Ramin. It is time to try Ansarifard and Torabi IMO.

[Ab-Gosht]

so pitch conditions are against us. travel conditions are against us. fifa wiith their silly suspensions. injuries. seems everything is against us for this one. crazy how syria even can be aloud to play their home matches in malaysia...

[GolfePersique]

Practically we miss only 3 players: Beiranvand, Hajsafi and Azmoun.

Amiri has recovered and the rest (Ando, Ghafourian, Haghighi, Rafiei, Aghaei) haven't been regular players recently.

We should have enough quality players to fill in these gaps. Good chance for one of the reserve GKs ,as well as the strikers like Gucci and Karim. We should get on with what we've got and work hard.

Looking at the brighter side, FIFA announced the suspension before Syria match. Imagine if we have a situation like this before playing Korea or Qatar!
