These numeric assignments are a joke (just like the xG racket). So a non numeric appraisal:
Poor game overall, but understandable given the pitch, lack of prep, etc.
Standouts:
Ezzi, Gholi, Torabi
Ezzi is coming back to his old beast form. Much needed.
Gholi and Torabi tried to play the direct approach when needed and it paid off.
Sub par:
JB, Azmun, Taremi
Azmun and Taremi could not get anything, but it had to do with a very packed box. In a more open game, one would expect more of them. But they did seem lethargic at best, and disinterested at worst.
JB was really disappointing compared to his old self. Yes, he had a lot of touches against a very weak team that had completely given up on possession, but did not create anything. His crosses and passes into the box were subpar. Too tentative on the ball, weak dribbling attempts. Too slow to make a move. Too much respect for a bunch of HK players that would not make Iran's 2nd division teams. He needs to get back to his old self when he had a much more direct approach. His lack of game time really showed.
No judgment:
You cannot really judge the performance of others in an unusually one-sided game.
