1 goal, 0 assist from 12 games (8 starts) in 2021...
His age is definitely starting to show....thankfully we are loaded with options in his position. Very young, young, experienced, and veterans. I did hope he could get back to a similar level he was at in olympiacos and get that Aghayeh goal he deserved that season but I think he’s just too far off level wise from where he was at that point.

Did he take a wrong turn in his career or was he never as good as the hype? If Nekounam never went back to Osasuna, would Karim have even gone to Europe? I think his biggest problem was his mentality, not lack of talent. Like Masoud, I think he got in his own head too much. I remember in 2011 against Maldives, scored a goal but could and should have had 3 or 4. Always lacked that killer instinct. Which, like you mentioned in a recent post, is why CQ had to go get a striker from the Belgian 2nd division.

Karim has always been a player with potential, but only at brief moments in his career did he ever reach close to it (His performance in Greece for them most part has been very good). However, I think he always seemed to lack confidence in TM and it often showed in his performances (outside of his clutch penalty vs Portugal). Given the surge of young strikers we have, alongside the dominance of Azmoun and Taremi, I don't think we will see much from him in the future. I do hope that he continues to live in Greece and has a nice life outside of Iran though.

He has 8 goals in 22 matches for AEK... That's a pretty good stat to me. He's been on a cold streak as of late, but he also did have a game winning goal against Wolfsburg (Bundesliga) in the Europa league qualifyers.
