ASIAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2022

Don't underestimate Skocic. He may be testing players to see who is capable and who is not. Better now than to find out in WC. He could also then take this back to the PP and SS fans and say look your guys didn't cut starting lineup back off. His approach is very nonconfrontational and brings a bit of calm to his team. At least I'm hoping this is what is going on based on what we have seen thus far.

That's what I hope but his stubbornness with some shitty players is worrying

He's played Omid as a Left-back, a centre-back and as a defensive midfielder in the past few games. He wants to pump his status as an ultimate utility player when he is not that - he is just not skilled enough. By all indication, he will play Omid at all costs.

We really need Milad Mohammadi to snap back into it. Or at least try out Mohammad Naderi or stick Vahid Amiri in there. Omid will not cut it, he looks really lost there both offensively (on his run ups) and defensively is a stiff - as he loses his man a lot because he doesn't have the speed or plays ultra aggressively to make up for that, which means he's a yellow card waiting-to-happen.

I'm guessing he is testing him. Let's see. Whenever and if we get friendlies we will start to get a clearer sense.

He played well against Iraq but since then, hasn't shown much and has been a step too late. I think there are other good PGL candidates (Jafar Salmani etc. ) and we have a real good LB coming up, but he's way too young, Mohammad Mehdi Ahmadi (17 years old).

I liked how skocic reverse some of his idiotic decisions during his first months (ghoddos benched, wrong line up, Ghaedi finally kicked out) but recently he became so damn stubborn with nurafkan, sarlak and nour

He isn’t being stubborn with these players he being told who to invite and not to invite why no alipour why no mohebi ?????

hes 21. Wiki age is wrong. Of the u23 players he has been one of the mots consistent in terms of mins alongside Khodabandelou, Fallah

Alipour is way overrated. He scored 2-3 goals and then disappear during 3 months

AfC did the wrong move to promote so many teams from small countries both in ACL and in asian cup.

The priority should have been to promote the best Asian countries, help them to raise their level (and use it for more coverage).

Smallest asian countries should have their own competition (like nation league or europa conference league) and the two best ones could promote in ACL e.g

That already exists. It's called the AFC cup

First half Foolad displayed a somewhat decent performance. However the second half to me has been pretty disappointing, especially given the opponent is at best a mediocre Asian counterpart. Honestly I am dismayed by Foolad's second half performance.

Is Ahal a decent team maybe that I am unaware of?
