Majid Hosseini & Ali Karimi @ Kayserispor | 2021-22

That’s a beautiful ball, imagine that to Azmoun or Taremi.

Just seen that his team are now down to 9 men. If they can hold on will be great.

He was excellent today. Gave an assist, blocked a lot of shots, marshalled the defence when they had to play 60 minutes with one man down and also two men down from the 58th minute.

Thiam scored a brace. This guy was the best player ever who played in IPL.
Very underrated player

very hard to argue he doesnt deserve to start for TM right now.

He showed determination, strong mentality to get past the issues of past 2 years (injuries, things not working out at trabzon, getting no TM mins recently, having to settle for midtable turkish club, etc). And now he is showing all the things that made us so impressed with him before. He is the best Iranian defender on the ball, that assist was stunning, he is quick to cover space, very strong in challenges, and has a great leap.

Hope he keeps this up. For sure would like to see him start next to kanaani in upcoming matches, especially when you consider shoja is out for a month and been out of form for club and country of late.

This performance is just the latest evidence of majid resurgence, lets not forget strong games vs gala, fener in recent times.

Why Shoja should not lose starting position:

1. Good chemistry and great partnership with Kanaani + too risky to change CB partnership in middle of WCQ (unless major mess up/injury)

2. Was never directly at fault for goals conceded even if he had 1 or 2 poor performances + fast, good aerially, and also good at playing from the back and can send accurate long-range passes to initiate attacks

3. Expected to recover from injury prior to Iraq match

This is really good news for TM with Majid finding his top form again. I don't mind Shoja like others do on this forum but for me right now, it is Kanaani and Majid with Shoja as a strong back up. The question is once Pouraliganji comes back and finds his old form, who will he replace. Finally, TM is getting good competition for central defense.

Agar Majid YEK MAH betone amalkarde khoob neshoon bede mitonim begim ke yek shansi dar tarkibe TM bayad behesh dadeh beshe.

Agar gah gaahi khoob baazi kone nemishe behesh etminaan kard.

Even if this were the case, competition is never a bad thing. Everyone on the squad should know that their position isn't for granted. That way they will try to keep in top shape.

Well said. When in form, just like PAG…..he is simply on another level compared to kanani and shoja. He has had his share of mess ups but definitely not more than the later. I know Skocic is a fan of his and I’m interested to see if he starts him in the upcoming games. Same with PAG…..once he is back to full health he 1000% needs to be a starter.

We've essentially locked up our WC spot. We can afford to take risks and test out different things in preparation for Doha.
Quite frankly, Majid only had 1-2 bad TM starts which costed him to lose his spot. Other than that, he had a great World Cup campaign in the Group of Death.

Those 1-2 spots were critical.
Majid is another version of Kanaani. He's way too overrated here.

That was not a group of the death. Please learn the definition for a group of death. That group had 2 clear favorites (Spain and Portugal), thus it could not have been a group of death.

In regard to WC performance, that was an extremely overrated performance by him. Not difficult to look great in your position when you have Azmoun and other forwards sacrificing their positions to come and help out with yours. As soon as we went with a more attacking game-plan, Majid got exposed. So my question to you is, how many more penalties does Majid need to give up before we can say he is a liability?
