This was just so embarrassing (Korea-Iran)

[amas20]

CQ, kojaei?
Can someone explain to me why Beiro has been replaced by Abedzadeh? Genuine question.

I have the same question. I mean, Beiranvand's physique, imposing figure on the pitch and world cup experience will make you think 100% that he is irreplaceable for the next 2-3 years at least.
On what basis did Beiranvand get replaced by Abedzadeh and why, for how long etc? I would take a clubless Beiranvand over a fit Abedzadeh any day. The guy is just not on Beiranvand's level.

Beiro is warming the bench for his club. Before he got loaned to Boavista, he had a handful of bad performances at Antwerp. While the soorakh defense at Antwarp didn't help, he still had some pretty bad blunders. I don't recall the last time Beiro actually played for his club. Boavista didn't even utilize him for some of the cup matches recently.

Beiro needs to go back to Perspolis and Perspolis needs him back.. I'm not even a PP supporter and I think that's best for both. Beiro needs to be a starter and isn't fitting into European clubs.. Lak sucks and gives up sootis is costing PP a chance to repeat as champs.

When i saw the line up i already knew skocic only wants a 0-0, playing with 1-2 single players forward ? Absolute shit,

[khabalood]

I have never seen our beloved TM been so outplayed, not even vs powerhouses like Argentine or Spain in World Cup when we lost. In every single position we were struggling. And unfortunately Dragan Skocic showed that he has absolutely no game plan and he's coward coach without guts. His staring line-up showed that he entered the field with one single goal, NOT LOSING.
And then...

1- Aref Gholami is not TM material. (What the hell did he think to bring in AG as right back when the guy has only been playing as left back in his club and you have players like Esamilfar who's natural righ back?

2- Ehsan Hajsafi should just say Good Bye. He's been done in TM for very long time.

3-Noorafkan should definitely be the first choice as left back. Mohammadi not good enough. He's only (Bezan Ziresh)

4- Kaananizadeh a beast (Eventhough I dont like him) but right now, he's our best Center back

5- Abedzadeh still shady, not natural first choice.

6-Gholizadeh seems to have serial psychological issue since he's so faaar from his form.

7- Unfortunately we are so depended on Taremi.

I called this last year. Skocic has never implemented a sound offensive strategy in any game. All he can do is implement an okay defensive strategy and hope that the players can invent offense on the counter attack by themselves.

He is another Croatian dalal who will follow the government plan to lose at the world cup. This game was used to lower the fan bases expectations for that tournament and to begin destabilizing the team by not inviting the best players we have. What is the point of inviting and using so many players who have no business being in the starting lineup? It makes no sense.

This game should have been used as an A team friendly since we all know we will not have any real preparation friendlies.

If TM is going to have any hope of achieving any positive result at the world cup we need an ambitious and competent coach similar to Carlos Quiroz. Someone who will go all out and attempt to have the team prepared to WIN despite everything the government is going to do to sabotage this team.

If Skocic remains in place he will start players who don't belong in the team and have them playing chicken shit defense only at the world cup. We will lose as usual and be knocked out in the group stages.

Tell that to Korean fans and Son Heung-Min

I agree. At this point he needs to go and get consistent playing time.

What an irony that the best game we had against Korea in Seol was under Wilmots. We played toe to toe with them, nice/courageous attacking football, creating many scoring chances.

I saw one of the koreans do a military solute when subbed off. This was like a derby for them.

[DR Strangemoosh]

I'm not a PP supporter either but I always thought it's safer if 20-40 ranking national team goalkeepers are playing in their domestic league, especially if with players they know in front of them.

The problems today were nothing new. They've been there for most games of the qualifying, but we just ignored them "because at the end of the day only the results matter".

Well there you go... a team that can't handle a above average pressing game. a team where most players are standing still off the ball, a team where you can fly a 747 through the gap between the midfield and defender, a team where players are constantly getting in each others way and huddling in the box on defence and offence.

I really hope this humbles the coach, the players and federation a bit, but I think if they weren't humbled by nearly losing to Lebanon, and scraping by with 1-0 wins against low level asian teams, I don't think this will be the wake up call either. They'll just blame Mehdi and JB missing and think we can continue like this into the WC.

On positive note, take some pride on how long we'd been undefeated by Korea. We truly are a powerhouse of Asian football.

Korea vs Iran is like the "El Classico" of Asia. Even in Friendlies both Teams leave it all on the pitch and try to be victorious at all cost.

That's a poor way to look at it. We need to look at every game like it's a derby regardless if we have qualified or not.. All about having good work ethic. If we treat these games like friendlies, then we will have a lazy mindset.

[Kavian]

I watched the game again! Every time we pressed the Koreans in their half, they got nervous and lost the ball. But our players decided to retreat to our own half and defend there and rely on long useless balls for Sardar who hardly touched the ball.

This tactic is garbage and we have lost so many games because this. We need to be a bit braver and take the game to the opponent.

[Keshwardoost]

well heres my thoughts,

1. Appreciate Beiranvand. If he got cut for that misstake, well he should be given next game after Abedzadehs horrible 1-0 goal, plus unsecure play. he was nearly scored on twice on the high balls from the flanks as the korean players just missed the ball once and one time didnt hit the goal. Abedz was wrongly positioned. on his great double save, the whole situation was his faut after him just popping up in the field instead of just staying in goal and recieving a pass back.. ''

Bring back Beiranvand, eaven in poor form, we wouldnt se all this misstakes from him.

2. Dont bash Shoja again, he had a great game until he got injured.

3. Man of Match by far: Kaanani - what a great player!!!! Irans Pepe excent he is not violent..

4. nr 8, nourollahi missed so many passes

5. Sardar should have been subbed of after 60 minutes. he looked heavy in the steps, like he is under heavy training to compensate russian pree season he missed.. and he looked gassed and didnt help out in the defence either. probably his most uninspired game yet but I believe its because he probably is under heavy fitnesprogram with Leverkusen and coach shouldnt played him 90 minutes, it felt like we played with 10.2 players (sardar counting as 0.2)


6. Hajisafi should have passed Gholizadeh, what a missed oppertunity in the first minutes..

7. Coaching of Sko: well he had 6 players gone so I wont bash to much. in periods before korea took over and outplayed us, our defence looked pretty good. after shoja injurie and abedzadehs rembrandt he tryed. only thing i would have liked is that he subbed out azmoun asap. eaven in first half he was so poor and running like he had been lifting weights all morning with his legs that he could have taken him out at 45 minute..

8. Congratulations Korea! finaly got the revenge AND STILL DIDNT GRASSROLL. - I have respect for this team!

9. Now we can put aside Pot 2 speculations..

10. 0 shots at goal!

10. If its any consulatulation: Australia is now going to play in playoff and missed directspot
