your starting lineup against Bahrain

[Dortmund]

Ideally, Ghoddos comes off the bench against HK to get warmed up and starts this match.

[nisfejahan]

I don’t know anything except that Gayedi HAS to play against Bahrain just because of his last name. Imagine him scoring and the English speaking announcer having to repeat his name.

[inarsenewetrust]

Think amiri guaranteed his spot vs bahrain with game tonight, but as CM. I am fairly sure milad will come back in at LB.

-----------------Beiro---------------

Moharrami--PAG----Shoja-----Milad

---------------Ezatolahi--------------
---Gholizadeh-----------Amiri-------

ARJ-----------Azmoun--------Taremi

Ghayedi imo should be first sub if we need more speed from wide areas for ARJ.

Karim I would introduce late for Azmoun or Taremi to keep energy levels high, esp if we are leading.

Ghoddos for Gholi esp for ball retention in second half.

[Nokhodi]

I fear Hajisafi will start

[Roozbeh-G2006]

We simply need to beat the cheaters. I think the two defenders and the keeper that failed to stop the HK scoring shouldn't start. the rest of the guys are all as good as each other.

I like this starting 11 with the following emphasis:

1- Sadegh needs to be a lot more careful on the right side. He was late in covering his side and that's how HK got the service for their goal. HK also had another opportunity on the right side that their header was off target.

2- Milad needs to have 100% concentration. We can not afford any mistakes there.

3- Everyone needs to focus on their shots from outside the box and finishing inside the box. We have to be much better than HK match. Especially, Sardar and Taremi need to get it together. Mehdi should play the way he did in the 2019 AFC Championship in UAE. He was unstoppable, we need that Mehdi back.

4- Like what you said earlier, Mehdi needs to be behind Sardar as the sole striker. He could be more effective the way he did it many times at Porto by being a "late" arriver into the box to put it in.

5- I also have some concern about PAG and Shoja working together since they have not played side by side much as the heart of our defense. I prefer PAG over Kanaanizadegan but I have that concern and coach needs to pays special attention to coordination between PAG and Shoja.

Go TM!

I fear Hajisafi will start

I have the same fear and if Skocic starts Hajsafi he will set himself up for a strategic blunder. I choose to be optimistic and say that he will not start him and use him against Cambodia only to rest others.

Go TM!

I fear Hajisafi will start

I am near certain that the starting eleven for Bahrain will come from players that played tonight. The only exception may be Pouraliganji and possibly Hosseini as his partner.

[milad_b]

Lol please don't tell me that Skocic saved Hajsafi for bahrain game??? I have feeling he will be in the start up list against bahrain. Our only hope was to see him getting a yellow so he could miss bahrain match.

[Futbaldoost]

^ Bahrain match is our next one and Hajsafi is eligible to play. There is no chance of him missing that match due to yellows.

Go TM!

[I LOVE IRAN!]

I don't like 4-4-2 and so far it has not really been working..players look lost on the field, judging from our last 3 games

Yes i know bro thats why i said Our only hope was for him to get a yellow card in this match and skocic saved him by not using him against hong kong.

Lol please don't tell me that Skocic saved Hajsafi for bahrain game???

[Keshwardoost]

lmao, imagine the reactions and shambool cuttings on this forum if Hajisafi sinks Bahrain with one of his torpedo-misile shots from 35 meters

[milad_b]

Bro I pray that he does that. Hajsafi is a type of player that if his luck mode is on he will score a shansi goal. Remember his assist against morroco in WC18

I had big hopes for this guy. Used to actually call him fabregas iran

at fabregas!
id say more like Ray Parlour/Juninho of TM (joking)

i have made many jokes about his misiles killing birds and us drones over the years, but id be so happy for him if he scores a thunder shot against bahrain and/or iraq..
i have to admit, he gets alot of stuff he doesnt deserve, eaven if hes shots isnt beckhami or so but he is still ok.. i want him to score the deciding goal against bahrain just to se the reactions here lmao


Edit: Id like to se Ghaedi starting and also Torabi, and Amiri and Jahanbakhs being second half subs next game, when the other players are tired.
dont know about our centerbacks, the goal we conceaded looked suspecious and the whole attack wasnt on the replay and gamecam, since they were showing Irans goal..
