World Cup 2022 Qualifier: Iran - Iraq: Info, Updates & Live Reports (15.06.2021)

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Wow. Hajsafi at LB, eza in midfield. Jahanbaksh starting. Here we go!!!

[Iran_19]

Pretty conservative line up, was expecting to see Saman starts.

[IranPowned]

Why Kanaani above Pouraliganji????

Saman should have started over Saeid. This is very conservative.

[Ostad_Goosfand]

Iraq lineup. 5-4-1

Conservative line up with two DM.
I suppose the shift to offense can come with Ghoddos off the bench as needed

[peiman92]

Damn we can’t afford to throw away another first half because of a BS lineup...

[Iran_19]

Wow. Hajsafi at LB, eza in midfield. Jahanbaksh starting. Here we go!!!

I don't mind HajsaFi as LB, as long as he doesn't play as CM.

[Leicester City]

Should have started Torabi/Ghaedi, Ghoddos, and Mohammadi!!! 🤦🏻*♂️🤦🏻*♂️🤦🏻*♂️

[Futbaldoost]

I like the starting 11 and I think Saman will play in the second half as a sub. I just hope Ehsan doesn't cause any blunders on the left side. Here are the subs:

Milad Mohammadi, Ansarifard, Abedzadeh, Niazmand, Sarlak, Ghaedi, Ghodoos, Rezaei, PAG, Hosseini, Torabi, Salmani

Go TM!

[BacheLot]

Our Left side is soorakh and turn-over city...!! hopefully they wont put us in too big of a hole early on, before Saman comes in to salvage something..!! :/

[ehsan singapore]

why isnt saman playing????????who is gona feed our forwrds. our coach is really not good, how can ghoddos not stat is beyond me

[Leicester City]

Our Left side is soorakh and turn-over city...!! hopefully they wont put us in too big of a hole early on, before Saman comes in to salvage something..!! :/

100% The entirety of our left flank is shit! So many superior options available!

[CHaMiLLionaire]

You don't go all out from minute 1. This isn't a war.

This is a good balanced line up with the exception of the useless Hajsafi.

Remember, we are 90% through with a draw.

Either way, we will know halfway through the game what Jordan-AUS is up to then we can throw in Ghaedi, Ghoddos, and co to finish the game off if need be.

On the other hand Iraq is playing 5-4-1, likely counter attacks with Bashar, Humam and Mohannad Ali - this means we need to have good DMs.
