World Cup 2022 Qualifier: Iran - Lebanon (Info, Updates & Live Reports)

[Hosseini]

Well, Skocic invites terrible midfielders, Sarlak and Kamal, and he doesn't even play them. So we will never fill the positions with Skocic in charge.

The defense as a whole looks extremely unorganized. If this maintains itself we could let in 3-4 goals against decent sides in the WC with maybe one point, if not zero

[Nokhodi]

He's a Skocic favorite - and plays for Sepahan bro.

I remember when he was in Esteghlal and their fanboys and media were calling for his inclusion in TM along with Hosseini (gk) and Vouria.

[Ghermez Agha]

Yeah I was on the fence about Skocic but wow this half really sealed the deal for me... I know we're up 1-0 but holy crap Lebanon have had more chances on goal and we've been absolutely terrible besides the goal.

I hate to say it, but if we want to have any chance at the WC, we need #skocicout

Welcome to seeing the light

[OFFSIDE_1]

is there VAR in this stadium?

we first need to find the women in the stadium..... the VAR would be a far future

[FF187]

No game plan. Solely relying on the individual strengths of some players brings us somewhere in Asia but will bite us badly against good teams. please bring Carlos back!

They need to keep focused and play composed, just as they did against Bahrain last June. To Lebanon’s credit, they are doing well with their grassrolling tactics. And the referee may continue to ignore 50/50 fouls in favor of Lebanon. Our boys need to continue to press and hold the ball. They need to make the Lebanese players chase after them. Not commit fouls and jog towards the ball. Full force and full pressing.

Not a good display in the first half at all. And I’m not just blaming Skocic either (before I get called a CQ loyalist lol). It’s on the players and the trainers too. The coaching staff need to push our players to hold possession and keep consistent with the game plan. Just because we’ve qualified doesn’t mean they need to let loose and be careless.

I don’t know about y’all but that defeat vs. South Korea was not fun at all. But you could feel it was bound to happen. I’m glad it happened now rather than later though. That way Skocic learns to adapt and make necessary changes when starters like Taremi, AJ, Ghoddos, Moharrami and others. are unavailable. We need to have a solid B team in case of emergencies.

[Omids]

Defence is going from bad to worst, they are back in numbers but are ball watching, we will get hammered by any decent team…boy

[Nokhodi]

Games like this show me again how important physical conditioning and form is. You’re not physically fit, you can’t do shit. Look at Noorafkan and Moharrami and Saeed!

[TM4LIFE]

Our team just has ZERO plan on the ball. They keep trying for that low % cross field switch. Besides that they look so lost. Players passing into space where the forwards don’t run into, simple passes being controlled like the ball is a balloon, nonstop fouling (SERIOUSLY do we WANT suspensions for WC group stage???). The only and I mean ONLY proper play was that goal, aside from that we can’t even get shots on target

[taremiscores]

The fact Lebanon's B-team created more chances than Iran is a bit worrying, no?

[peiman92]

I’ve never seen a bunch of TM players be in such poor shape.
Moharrami should not be starting.

Now suddenly our players are in their worst shape? You Skocic admirers will blame anything but the coach.

[Futbaldoost]

1-0 halftime. Only one flash of birlliance by Kanaani and Sardar has put TM ahead. TM struggled to break the Lebanese parked bus until the goal other than one shot on target by ARJ. We are missing play making from our midfield and the only assist came from our CB. After the goal, we started to have defensive lapses. Our LB now looks vulnerable. I am really worried about Beiranvand foot work. There were a few near misses. His behavior after the goal was also childish jumping like that over everyone. I have been an ardent supporter of Biro yet again I just can't justify this change.

Go TM!

Guys we need to spend whole 2 months working in fitness

[vahido]

Painful to watch. Total deimi football.

Games like these should show even the ”blind” fans where the problem lies.
SKOCIC.
