TM's Probable Starting Lineup

[IranJavidan]

I agree with you, that TM should take Yemen seriously and try to defeat them convincingly but why should this attitude be an contradiction to my approach?
TM was never a Tiki-Taka our One-Touch playing Team, our natural style is physical and crossings into the box. Why not using the physical advantage in the
Air to score. Thats also the reason why i prefer Cheshmi over Ebrahimi in this game, since i expect Yemen to park the Bus. Cheshmi is tall and very dangerous
in the air, same goes for M.Hosseini, PAG, Azmoun, Ansarifard.
The reason why i decide for MiMo and Vouria is simply because i think that both of them can make precise crosses into the Box, which will be needed against
11 Yemen's-Wall.
I agree with you on Ghoddos but he can sub-in in the second half anyway.

Thank you. TM's approach has slightly differed since the WC. Based on the friendlies that we've had thus far after Russia, in this tournament we should be displaying a more fluid game against weaker opponents. We'll enjoy more possession, which will naturally either lead to goals, or set pieces that we are superior with.

While I understand your reasoning, I think your lineup should be used against more serious opponents; much like the world cup. Against Yemen and Vietnam, there's simply no excuse for not displaying relentless attacking football and getting a couple of goals early on in the game, and then controlling it afterwards in order to manage stamina.

I have the feeling that Azmoun is going to shine in this game.

[TM4LIFE]

I can see Quieroz opting for two strikers tomorrow. He definitely surprised us with the tactics at the World Cup so i wouldn’t put it past him to throw a curve all in the AC.

——————Beiro——————-
Rezaeian-Hosseini-PAG-Hajsafi-
—————Ebrahimi——————
—Taremi——Ghoddos——-Amiri
————Azmoun——Ansarifard

That’s my predicted lineup

[MR.S]

I think we Will Go for a more balanced lineup :

Khatibti
Gol Mohammadi, Minavand, Daeinaser, M.Zareh
Ebrahimi Shojaei
Ahmadi, Soleimani, Khatami
Azmoun

And Ahmadinejad is going to sub in arround min 70 for Azmoun!

Biro
Rezaian-PAG-Hossaini-Mohamadi
Ebrahimi-Haji-Shojaei-Amiri
Taremi-Azmoun

4-0 for Iran.

We will definitely start our tournament with one of our captians in the starting line up. In fact i wouldnt be surprised to see both shojaie and dejagah in the line up.

Just like the world cup. Masoud only started in the Morroco game. Neither he nor Ashkan played a single minute afterwards.

Contrary to popular belief, CQ is actually flexible with his lineups. Sure, he has his priorities like any coach. But he would even bench JB if he has to (like the Spain game.)

With Ezzatollahi injured, this is the perfect opportunity for Saman to start. He's Ashkan 2.0. Although their styles differ a bit. But like Ashkan, he'll carry the team on his shoulders.

Totally agree

[sirvan]

My preferred line-up 4-2-3-1:

Beiranvand

Rezaeian Pouraliganji Hosseini Mohamadi

Ebrahimi Nourollahi

Amiri Ghoddos Taremi

Azmoun

[Sam van Dam]

Also likely, not sure about Montazeri starting.

you never know, CQ has a tendency to put the worst possible 11 at a time
