ASIAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2022

[Nokhodi]

We must invite and test Naderi there, injori nemishe.

His one appearance versus Iraq almost 3 years ago gave me nightmares.


It is so disappointing how far Milad Mohammadi has fallen. We’ve gone from thinking left back position is fixed for years to come, to someone who can barely pass a ball.

[Mahsaa]

I think its time to test completly other LB and RB , maybe some ipl player will do much better than these.

noorafkan,mohammadi ( sadly) and all others are nothing for a WC. How many years do we have problems now with RB and LB !?!?!

[Iranianarsenal11]

Based off the highlights Mazaheri had a really good game it seems.. Lots of good saves. Sepahan lucky not to lose by 4-5 goals...

Omid Noorafkan is a complete liability defensively!!

Milmo just needs a few games in a row to gel with the rest of the team. He like Saman hasn't been given consistent playing time under Skocic.
Unlike some others *cough* sadegh *cough* , who are forgiven mistake after mistake, some others seem to be benched immediately after one bad half.

i really cant believe we are going to a WC with dalal skokic crazy!

You are now invading the Asian CL thread with anti Skocic propaganda? Haven't you got enough places to post such material already?

This is not to defend any particular player

Often wrong/ bad game plan, tactics make some players in bad situations

Sorry, but I disagree in this case! ... I watched the game very carefully. These players don't know the basics of football. Even if they are in Man City, they still play the same!!! they don't know any better!

[Kavian]

For world cup, we need;
1. Tall, strong and solid centre back
2. Fast Left and right backs capable of out running or at minimum coping with fast English players
3. Entire midfield capable of winning the battle in the middle (this is key)
4. A more confident partner for Taremi if Sardar continues his poor performance
...
...
...
And 5. a coach capable of teaching, grooming, strategizing, building strong player characters and boosting morale ! (the last two key success criteria)

Time is running out quick, we have not seen or heard anything that assures us team is on the right direction. There is no plan!



**sorry, if I am out of place here

[Ali Doust]

To avoid with having to settle for RB and LB, we should move to a 3 back system and play with RM and LM. 3-4-3

[Hosseini]

,
Vahid is the only player in the past 2 years who has been reliable at LB. Disaster. I would say go for it right now, but our DM situation is so poor now that we absolutely need Amiri's engine there too.
Really hope the players pick up form this summer somehow.

Line up I would go with now

---------------------Sardar-------Taremi---------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---Gholi-----------------------------------------Jahanbaksh--------
------------------Eza-----------------Ebrahimi----------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--Amiri--------Kanaani-------Hosseini-----------Khalilzadeh------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------Beiro---------------------------------------

Respectfully disagree.

1. dont think gholi should be anywhere close to xi right now. He brings very little in terms of net benefit. Maybe you get some creativity with him, but more often than not in his current form that is realized in the form of turnovers. Plus defensively he is a net zero and physically as well. He is basically like a crappier version of ARJ right now, and given that ARJ is quite ineffective at doing anything besides final actions around the box these days, that speaks volumes.

2. Those 2 mids without amiri or another runner alongside them will get walked over, they simply lack the ability to cover enough yards in a quick enough manner across the 90 mins to play as a 2 (maybe ghoddos could be worked into a mid 3 setup with them but even this could leave us exposed, especially vs england).

3. for me vs England we should go to back 3. It is the only way our full backs will not be exposed defensively. People mention Amiri name as regular LB but even he is not a defender by trade and will be exposed if isolated 1v1, plus we need him to impact other parts of the game and help the mid line a lot. I think 442 is probably the single worst formation skocic can pick in this world cup...It will mean that taremi and azmoun sit on top of each other and make themselves easier to mark (we want our most dangerous players operating in different zones to actual cause max problems for opposition), and it will mean that our already crap midfield gets one less body. These players are hardly good enough to play in a 3 man midfield vs crappy teams, god help with a 2 man midfield against the worlds best.

4. As for beiro his club situation would need to change a lot between now and world cup, guy is simply way out of match practice.

---------------------Abedzadeh---------------

---Kanani--------PAG/Shoja------Majid-----

Moharrami---Ezatolahi----Ebrahimi/Mehdipour---Amiri

---------------------Ghoddos---------------

---------Azmoun---------------Taremi

Moharrami is way more competent and comfortable as a RWB. We have good enough CB options to roll out 3 of them, this will help counteract englands system of 3 guys up front who play with a ton of freedom (afforded to them by the fact to highly physical, fast wing backs are covering the spaces they would usually have to). Amiri this way can also pinch into the midfield at times and help plug gaps. Ghoddos can help provide the critical transition point for counter attacks, keep possession when we do get the ball, but he is now also in physical shape to make that a midfield 3/5 and help much more off the ball.

Vs USA + Other team we could change to a 433 with taremi wide, but even then I would be wary given how crap our fullbacks are.

Not good feeling about this WC.
Lots of players out of shape, coach sucks, and players joining the team week before.

I think what you are describing is Liverpool's back line and Manchester City's midfield!!! We should just get them. There we go. Here is a plan we've been waiting for. Or the other option is to get CQ, and then our CB's grow 3 inches immediately, and our RB and LB will break world speed record. Both good plans. Thank you.

Lol this is exactly how I feel…not over complicating it and straight to the point. Set your expectations low and if some miracle happens then great and if not then you’re not gonna be too disappointed.

[Hosseini]

That's all very fair

- I would probably get Ghoddos in ASAP for Gholi depending on the circumstances. He would prob be the first sub off the bench, second Sayyadmanesh. A big problem is we are weak in defensive-minded MFs which can be a problem if we go up and need to defend

- It's not optimal, but another option would be bringing in Mohammadi and moving Amiri to the midfield

- I like the back three against England a lot. It gives a lot of flexibility. Against USA I would go more offensive with Azmoun and Taremi up front. Face it, with the coaching we have, there won't be much tactics at play, so say bismillah and hope those two can work some magic and cook something up

- One big disagreement is I wouldn't start Abedzadeh in a million years in the WC over Beiro. Beiro has just way more experience and Abedzadeh is too small and not reliable in big games - I just don't trust him over Beiro. Anyway, at least GK isn't a serious issue this era. We have options unlike 2006.
