2 cup games: 2 goals + 1 assist
27 PL minutes: 1 assist
I had no doubt ARJ had this in him. People that say the coach 100% has no racial bias, are wrong. He’s human—not an immaculate being. Unfortunately, being iranian can have a negative connotation.
If he was brazilian, german, or spanish would he have more playing time by now? Maybe. Of course game tactics will influence a coach’s preference for certain players. But his race may have a subtle influence on not only the coach’s judgement, but preconceived notion on his potential.
In any case, as long as ARJ continues to perform like this, the coach will have no choice to play him more.

The reason Potter is reluctant to use ARJ is the same reason CQ was reluctant to use ARJ. ARJ is great going forward, but weak when his team does not have possession. For teams playing against nominally stronger opponents, be it Brighton or Team Melli, ARJ's weakness is a risk both coaches were/are reluctant to take.

Originally posted by Kiarash View PostPlease elaborate further? If anything, CQ kept playing Jahanbakhsh as a starter throughout most WC qualifiers and also played him from the start in the Morocco and Spain game. He is fantastic in tracking back and doing defensive work actually, which translates to not being able to be offensively lively in TM and Brighton with CH, in contrast to AZ where his main job was to create chances and attack.
This season in particular Alireza seems to not be putting in any real effort on defense compared to his previous seasons in Brighton. Slow to get back, doesn't press, and doesn't fight for the ball when he loses it.
I think it's because of the pressure to score and assist more, which is sub-consciously causing him to want to stay up front more and not get involved on defense as much.Last edited by The; 09-27-2020, 04:20 AM.

As for the first part, ARJ was no fixed starter with CQ. True, CQ played him quite a bit and he was a trusted member of his squad, but he got less playing time than players like Taremi or Amiri, who at that time weren't even legionnaires. What CQ appreciated in those two other players, which many members on this board who now praise Taremi to the skies did not get, was their ability to contribute to both offense and defense, running up and down the pitch without any signs of exhaustion. ARJ is not this type of player.
As for the second part of your statement, it is exactly ARJ's lack of doing both -- offense and defense -- in the same game that I am talking about.

Originally posted by Nokhodi View PostARJ used to track back alot in Brighton - especially under Huhgton, but it was killing his game. He's not a defender and when he's on now it seems like he's almost playing as forward with less defensive responsibility.

Originally posted by KasraKhan View PostReally? From my memory, JB was absolutely a fixed member of CQ's squad, barring injury. I just looked back at the WCQ, WC, and AC teams and he started in most matches. The only match he didn't start in was Spain, but he was on a yellow card and apparently dealing with a minor injury.
Agreed.

Originally posted by Salar View PostI think this is what Potter is asking him to do therefore using his strengths. Potter plays attacking football anyway and they are not afraid to give it a go against the bigger teams as we saw yesterday. He can't make the squad every match if Potter wasn't genuinely pleased with him whether he likes or dislikes him. McAlister who has had senior caps for Argentina and looks like a very gifted player does not even make the bench in the EPL matches and neither did Propper yesterday who's a Dutch International. There's healthy competition in the team, Ali is in good form and surely doing what Potter is asking him to do. As much as I dislike Potter for his treatment of Ali, his team is playing good football, 1 point in 3 matches says otherwise but even against Chelsea on their opening match they did well, they destroyed Newcastle away which is not easy and they completely deserved the 3 points against United yesterday. Ali is a fighter, he's getting chances and he's taking them and he will soon be in the XI, have no doubt.Team Meli Iran
