Iran vs Syria Player Ratings | Post Match Discussion

[peiman92]

How did you make us "badbakht" you poor idiots...we had already qualified as the top team in ALL Asian qualifying TWO matches before playing your sorry asses)

Arabs can be such SAD idiots

Haha exactly. To be honest hanoz daram hers mikhoram ke mosavi shod bazi. Enghad badam miyad ke to azadi beheshon emtiaz bedim.

I think because he plays in Europe Jahanbakhsh has not been criticized enough compared to Iran-based players for instance, he is just about as effective as Amiri on average but the latter gets all the shit from fans here. Unfortunately after each good match he plays, he is poor/average for 3-4 next matches. He is brilliant for AZ but really under-performs for TM, it's very bizarre.
He has to step up, and hopefully he does otherwise I don't see why someone like Torabi shouldn't get more playing time than he's getting now instead of JB.

Ostghoddos will bite his a$$

One thing I found out is that people from the region Syria, Iraq and Lebanon love to provoke others. I don't know why they have such mental issues.
You see that all on social media how they troll on CQs or AFCs facebook page. You would never see these kind of things from Uzbeks, Koreans or Japanese.

what do these 3 countries have in common that could explain that?

Im all for trying Haghighi out for couple of games, but I already know what he can do at that level and he won't be better than Beiranvand. Those with poor memory need to remember how exposed Haghighi was countless times vs Oman, Turkmenistan, Iraq, Japan etc.. etc... Beiranvand will show his poor handling skills when exposed, not great in 1 on 1, and Haghighi will be poor in his own way on low crosses and coming out of his goal stupidly.
Our weakest position right now is goalkeeper. Whether we change our current number 1 or not

All of those goals you mentioned were in the period when he lost his form from sitting on the Rubin bench. When he had regular playing time in the Portuguese league, he was a beast. He had a great world cup, great Asian Cup (only one of Iraq's goals was his fault), decent game against Sweden, and another great game against Chile. He's also one of our most confident goalkeepers by far, whereas Beiranvand always looks nervous and shaky

[Farhad21]

Haghighi is coming back for the world cup

[persiangodfather]

We should put ahmadi back in the net

[KeonKish]

I think a lot of people here are being really dramatic.

I was also very upset that we conceded a late goal however it is important to note that.

these two games were without hosseini or montazeri.

It was obvious from the lineups and subs in both games that CQ was testing certain players in serious games.


IMHO Ansari did not impress. I am aware that he is new, and he deserves more chances, but he isnt even 60% of a jalal hosseini.


Im glad that we have Chesmi added to the mix now, in the event that hosseini is injured, id much rather have cheshmi as a CB, he is much stronger and much better with the ball.

Also, we can now see that when we have an issue in the midfield, the team crumbles.

Hajsafi simply doesnt cut it.

Karimi is only good when he has a guy like Saed playing with him. Karimi pairs really well with him.

We need to bring Ebrahimi with us to WC. The guy is much better than Hajsafi!! Ive watched both of them closely and Omids IQ is way better.
Is he out of form?

I can only pray that Montazeri can be fit by the world cup. It makes me nervous. He was by far one of our best last WC.

I totally agree with what you are saying here. JB has not really lived up to full expectation at TM level. We do have other players like Torabi who are much more creative than him. With Ghoddos in the roster I am hoping to have some competition for Amiri who basically does not much. PAG is another player who is starting to get on my nerve. H has been declining as a defender. He is shaky at best, falls on the ground with a slightest tackle and gets nervous when he is in a difficult situation. Not a world cup material at all. He lacks the toughness.

The loss to Syria, in my opinion was caused by number of factors;

1. The usual Hurra Hurra of Iranian football to score goals at Azadi and underestimating the opponent. Just how many times do we need to experience similar situations where opportunities are lost one after another and vital points are missed, before we actually learn. I can list at least 10 games in recent history with same disappointing performance at home!

2. Middle of the park was where everything went wrong. Karimi and Hajsafi proved to be a pair with least combined output. The lost battle in the middle was one of the major reasons we performed so poorly. Ashkan tried to carry the load and did good but was all alone. Ezatollahi was truly missed. What this team needs is a young Neko.

3. Experimental defensive line. We lacked experience in the back. If Jalal was in the line up, it would have been a different story altogether.

4. Sardar and Taremi don't connect well together. Many of the efforts are solo.

^ I agree, Torabi showed that he can be an X factor, he proved it against montenegro.

I am also hoping that Ghoddos and Torabi can light a fire under JB's ass or at least push Amiri away from the starting lineup.

I dont get why amiri would start over someone like Torabi.

Probably because Torabi had relations with CQ wife/daughter

[Kavian]

And where is that son of a gun, solid defender ... Pouladi ?????? He was like a rock at WC 2014. Pure Poulad.

It's a PFDC meme some guys here started to explain how Torabi doesn't get any of the minutes he deserves

Japan lost to Saudi. They did not play well. Many parts of the field were wide open for the fast saudi player to run through and shoot. BUT THE JAPANESE are not mad. This was a game or formality.
So calm down and take it easy.
Clean sheet beame household name for every asghar taragheh va naneh ghamar. But it makes no sense to take shots at the poor goalkeeper. Just look at the video of the match and see what the defenders were doing during the rebound that led to the first goal of syria. One thing hopefully everyone learned is that a lot of work needs to be done beause Hoseini, Ezatolai, Montazari can not be asked to play in 3 group stage games and perform the same. They will be tired for the third game. Remember Bosnia in last cup. The current subs for montazari and ezatolayi and hoseini are not good enough and with curent state of the skills we will not go the next round in 2018. Either we have others that have to be identified and developed or CQ needs a lot more friendly matches to teach the players not to do again what they did in syria match. If we use a normalized number (10)to define Hoseini and montazari, then the rookies get 5 or 6. So TM has a long way to go. Just remember Portugal and mexico games in the other up. You cannot go to World up with just 11 Players no matter how great they are.
