Iran v Palestine

[Iran_19]

I don't believe in this A team, B team stuff, but out of those players only Taremi, Beiro, Ramin and Azmoun are regular starters.

Beiro, Taremi, Milad, Rezarian, Cheshmi,add Dejagah who would be a starter if he is fit enough, and Ebrahimi came in as sub!

[sarbaz]

I still believe that TM should and must run over Yemen and Vietnam as if they were 2 other
friendly games vs. week teams even with our B team and all the injured players not playing.

But after than we shall see the reall Iran.

We have to finish TOP, then we will have quite easy road by facing Jordan, China before quarter and facing real rival.

sorry but chesmie will for sure not be a starter and for ashkan to start many players gotta be injured so i doubt that.

you guys need to relax. this was a first friendly matach with half the team missing. we played in constallations together we will never play again. Obviously against a weak team like palestine we should have won especially with more than one goal but i am happy we have been creating atleast many chances according to the match report. we never got amazing results in friendlies prior to big tournaments. the first two games vs vietnam and yemen we should win regardless without any big problems then iraq isnt fuckin brazil or frnce. its a iraq team that is 1-2 levels weaker than us and weaker than 2015. in the knock out stage we will face also very weak teams we should easily beat. then its we should already be in the QF and its already the 24.1. a month from now. so by then all injured played should be able to be fit and perform and we should have already build up some confidence from winning games before. a month from now a possible QF is what counts. before that we will slowly get bettet with every game. just have trust and faith in this team. todays game was the first warm up game, a game we unluckily did not win but im sure CQ will learn from this game and analyze the mistakes and will make the best out of it.

in my opinion when all players are fit this should be our ideal line up against one of the asia powerhouses like korea japan australia. do you agree?

thats just not true. Cheshmi and dejagah havent been starters for us in some time. You know very well the starting cbs are PAG and Majid, and Ashkan didnt even play at WC.

[sarbaz]

I don't care about this game but I am telling you guys we must win the Qatar match because it will be a
very good moral booster for all of the TM right before the start of the AC.

Healthy Ashkan will get good minutes in AC, wait and see. Ashkan wasn't even 50% before WC!

[Tehranto]

thats just not true. Cheshmi and dejagah havent been starters for us in some time. You know very well the starting cbs are PAG and Majid, and Ashkan didnt even play at WC.

Exactly.

The first-choice backline + defensive midfielders is this:

---------------Beiravand------------
-------Morteza----Majid------------
-Ramin----------------Ehsan/Milad
--------Saeid---Omid--------------

I amn curious if CQ will learn from his mistake he made in the WC putting hajisafi as LB after literally playing him for the past two years in CM. i think ehsan inCM is not to bad and against weaker teams he can start as LB but against the solid teams we need mohammadi as LB. he is more solid as LB than ehsan and his crosses are better too. it was wierd to see that both times when we were losing vs portugal and spain that we subbed the LB . mohammadi should have started both those games. it was unfortunately ehsans mistake that lead to the goal vs portugal. he is technically good thats why i can see him in CM ans he has a good left foot

[Iran_19]

We will see the different line up, specially with 24 teams tournament and few extra elimination matches. I am sure CQ will use different line up in group stage matches and once elimination starts that is another story, so i am sure Cheshmi, Ashkan, Kanani, Torabi, Masoud, or maybe even Nourollahi will all get their chances.

Palestine isn't a punching bag. They drew with China away last month.

[shahabGAOL]

We have to finish TOP, then we will have quite easy road by facing Jordan, China before quarter and facing real rival.

We will win EASY our Group with 9 points clear and 0 against. Vietnam en Yemen are the most easy and we will defead them with big numbers.

Wow you guys are so panicked! This is exactly why CQ plays friendlies with B teams behind closed doors. I feel like I’m listening to a bunch of chickens running around screaming the sky is falling. Relax, it’s a friendly, allows CQ to experiment with new tactics and lineups. Would you rather beat Palestine in a friendly or go deep in Asian cup??

Iran defeated Chile 2-0 in March of 2015, Chile went on to win the Copa America in the summer...
