PGL - 2016/2017 | Week 21 (Esteghlal vs. Perspolis) - Date/Time (+ LIVE REPORT)

[Frank Ocean]

Branko & Rahmati suck hahaha

[Camran khan]

If I was Mansourian I would bench Rahmati! He almost cost us the victory. I don't care how good he is and how many saves he's made he should be benched!

I never forget the derby years ago where he cost us the win when PP quickly took a throw-in or corner and scored while he was bitching at the sideline and was too late getting back to his goal.

I must've missed that one. Do you have the video?

Good game guys! You guys should do something about Taremi through! If he was more focused on actually scoring instead of constantly being busy diving and getting free-kicks and penalty kicks he would score twice the amount of goals that he scores in a season.

1. Branko is a loser.
Being at the height of their game, having virtually all TM players in PGL at helm, and yet cant even beat an injury-struck, transfer-banned improvised team with half of the players just throwed in from the youth teams.

2. On the other hand what a masterpiece by Mansourian. Coming out of these circumstances pulling a convincing win against Iran's mightiest team. He owned Branko in every aspect.


To Mr. Invankovic: You will never train Team Melli again!!! So stop sabotaging and destroying it. Even if you get CQ to give up, a real coach like Mansourian will take his place, certainly not you.

[Ari]

this was esteghlals first win against perspolis after 5 years.

[maniei]

1. Rahmati was tackled by his own team mate in that scene, and being so sore he attacked Hosseini.
He was rightfully yellow carded.
He jeopardised his teams sweet victory because of his bitterness against TM.

2. What a biest Seyed Jalal is! Did you see that goal!?

3. Except for few no really noteworthy decisions, Faghani did an excellent job, once again. He is among the top 5 referees of the world.

lol. It is a classic.

I congratulate SS young and hard working players and SS good fans like Amin_. Hopefully this will give you the boost to finish the league with good signs and have a good run at ACL .Your group is much easier than PP in ACL. Do not forget to add to your technical staff. Ali Chini, Khoramgah and Mansourian combination does not help you in ACL or next season. You should add depth to your couching team. Bring back Mr. Saleh and a fitness coach to your club. This match our weakness points were wide open because we didn't play with any DM or LB player. ACL matches won't be easy like this.

We saw the Branco's flaws as we know before. His subs are not necessary useful when the team is under stress and the team lack focus when they concede goals. Branco has some issues with Rezaian as we expected. Not buying a CB and DM in winter break costs us a lot. Not having Nourollahi as our sub DM shows us the hole in our system.


I suggest PP to think about these issues immediately.
1. Integrate our new DM to the team as soon as possible.
2. Sign a solid CB right now
3. Taremi is not a sharp forward. He loves to dive and loses many opportunities. We need Sasan Ansari back after summer break. For time being we need to rotate CF between Taremi, Alipour and Amiri so Taremi doesn't think he can continue this blunder.
4. Beiro need to work on situation that defense is not there to cover his ass. He has got lazy relying so much on Persepolis defense.

It's indeed the one Navid posted above.

1-Why Branko thought a high line with a 35 yo Hosseini, a LB playing CB, and a RB like Rezaian that travels so far up was a good idea is beyond me.

2- Taremi is mentally weak. I think Iranian players are in generally mentally weak. It was obvious from his misses and some of the scenes today. For example, whenever Heydari or Ahmadzadeh crossed they either rushed and blasted it far from the box or they hit a weak first man ball.

In high school, they sat us down with the school psych and we got all our mental weaknesses out before the game, I think this is a result of people thinking "psychology" is not a real science in Iran.

3-Good to see Esteghlal producing some young guys. They played better and hopefully they can help TM as well.

4- Have to brush it off and keep grinding results. A 2 game cushion is deceivingly comfortable. 9 games left to go.

5- Rahmati is an idiot. Good reflexes, yes. Terrible on virtually every set piece. CQ just cemented his decision on why he isnt called up.

[persiandream]

perspolis had no spirit for a win..no passion at all..otherwise they are the far better team undoubtfully..they also somehow underestimated taj..

the worst case then happened they got the first goal and thought they gonna win anyway..then 3 not even clear chances 3 goals

ahmadzadeh, mahini were comletely out of position and very bad..

taremi still needs too many chances to convert..

however this loss doesnt hurt regarding the standings as the are gonna win it anyway..this loss was comletely avoidable..

btw. ansaris pace defending and build up is slow motion..is it always like this?

[Esteghlali4life]

Anyone else watch Persepolis' second goal again? Jalal fouled Padovani and then dove. He should have definitely been sent off too.

[Keano]

Congrats to all all Esteghlal fans. Their young team of the second half of the season is definitely doing real good. Hope they keep it up in their ACL journey.

I fully blame this loss on Branko. I just don't understand some of his player selections, and certainly baffled by his bizarre subs. Not to mention the futile and useless long crosses into Esteghlal's box. Perspolis long crosses were almost all denied by Esteghlal tall defenders, yet we kept on sending those idiotic crosses.

Shame on Rahmati for being one of the biggest PGL losers. As good of a goalie he may be, he is a terrible person with shittiest mentality and behavior. He should absolutely get fined and suspended a few games by the club.

You must be kidding me? We have had our times with Ghalenoi and Daei. We don't need another coach with no resume destroy our team. These coaches need another 10 years of good football to even be considered for that position. PP had a bad day today with likes of Taremi ruining like 10 goal opportunities and SS taking advantage of our lack of LB/DM positions. A full PP team wouldn't lose that easy and it would be a draw in my opinion. I am sure someone with a very good analyzing ability like CQ helped Mansourian and Branco was overconfident and didn't cover our left side.

1. I agree that it was not a foul on Rahmati, but two give him to yellows in 2 min is a complete joke
2. Seyed jalal's behavior was embarrassing, rolling around holding his face when he wasnt even touched....and his goal was a clear foul.
3. Faghani gets a 0 out of 10 for me...very one sided in favor of perspolis....every single call went in their favor
