World Cup 2022 Qualifier: Syria - Iran; Updates, Pic, Vid & Live streams (11.16.21)

Skocic will look to neutralize Syrian attack in first half and expect Attacking subs in the 2nd half to put on the pressure.

Gotta neutralize that World Class Syrian attack.

Gholizadeh had a key role in that last minute goal. He made the pass that set Amiri up for the cross to Azmoun and eventual goal by Nourallahi. He needs to start. Abedzadeh should have already gotten some starts so the coach would not look like he is not benching due to poor performance. The goal Lebanon scored was not Bier's fault. He did what he should have. The ball he gave up was his fault along with the fault of the guy who toed the ball to him like that and the several players who did not get open. People only see the stupid failed attempt at a pull back move by Beiro and pay no attention to why he is forced to do that. Anyway, all we need is to find Azmoun near the goal. I would feel better about Taremi being there but it should not be that difficult to do.

[Doctor DOOM]

I think it's safe to say TM these days performs better with two recognized strikers.
especially against teams that sit back and park the bus.

or at least, Azmoun performs better when paired wt another ST.
Lets see the official lineup before we judge

[Ali Doust]

Gotta neutralize that World Class Syrian attack.

Its more about disenchanting any offensive schemes they have worked on.

[Gol Bezan]

[BacheLot]

Yeah and it’s shitty. Abedzadeh, Moharrami, Kannani, Khalilzadeh, Norafkan, Hajsafi, Nourollahi, Ezatolahi, Amiri, Gholizadeh, Azmoun.

Dont know about Hajisooti ...!! and Nourafkan deputizing the Left side ... lucky for them Amri has the lungs and workrate to give them some defensive cover..!
the rest are mostly suggestive of a more balanced/conservative game approach than the last game and hoping for another narrow win ..!!?
Mehdi's absence even a more glaring hole in our attacking line-up especially so without the explosive and high energy AS starting..!

[Keshwardoost]

Vahid Amiri
Sardar Azmoun
Ali Gholizadeh
Ehsan Haji Safi
Saeid Ezatolahi
Ahmad Nourollahi
Omid Noorafkan
Shoja Khalilzadeh
Hossein Kanaani
Sadegh Moharrami
Amir Abedzadeh

woow its official
poor beira cut after one bad game..

[Omid177]

Not a good line up. Why Hajsafi again?

[_Navid_]

What a boring conservative line up. Yikes.

[Farzadfarhangni]

Well, people wanted an identity for TM and here it is. Tire the opponent in the first half, and hit them hard in the second half. Worked for Mohammad Ali and Skocic is using it too.

[Omid177]

It will be a boring 0-0 in the 1st half and Dragan will once again recognize his mistakes and bring in the players that can change the result.

[Philosophy_King]

Haysafi is going to be Shojaei 2.0

[Leicester City]

The only positive: benching Beiro after a horrendous game and playing Abedzadeh. The rest is very questionable. Sadegh as LB and Haj-without a head in front of him is scary.

Here is an example someone who doesn’t watch TM matches. Omid plays LB and Sadegh plays RB!

Not against Ken Norton. Hopefully Syria isn’t Ken Norton tonight.

Hoorad, watch what you say. You've been disrespectful quite a few times.
It's funny how you have a grudge against some people here. Probably due to your Queiroz hating days, remember those?
