Mehdipour looks very sharp defensively

Esmailifar showing why he doesn't get the starts.

Ghermez jan, I've watched too many TMs play like garbage, because they're tired before the first half. What I loved about CQ is fitness was his number one priority. He was always right in saying most of the teams in the league, or the players themselves can't be relied to keep the players in shape.

Look how many players we have who are either coming off injuries or long periods of no game time:

- Azmoun
- JB
- Sayyadmanesh
- Moharrami
- Shoja
- Saeed...

Not to mention the players who are just playing poorly like Gholizadeh and Noorafkan.

Good news is fitness is not a skill and can be improved with proper training. 8 months is plenty of time. It has to be on the radar with all these leagues stopping and starting. Even BL said Sardar will be more effective next season and unlikely to be in top form for this season.

Azmoun in really poor shape. He can't make the runs he usually does.

[PersianLion80]

Not good.

He’s currently the TM’s manager.

Estili is a regime stooge, corrupt and a dozd, freeloader like the rest of iri peeps

[Hosseini]

Azmoun being offside so much is a good indicator of him being super out of shape. What happened?

[metallica69]

Ebrahimi is a defensive player if anyone replaced him it is sarlak or mehdipour or kamal.

Azmoun in really poor shape. He can't make the runs he usually does.

Longcovid maybe

Who are these clowns wearing TM shirts ?

[TM4LIFE]

What was the chant being sung in the stadium? Couldn’t make out who they were asking to leave

[Nokhodi]

2-0 win for TM which is in the poorest physical shape I have seen in years.
If World Cup was in the summer, I would say we are done for.


Players must get back in shape (via clubs), but Skocic and crew must be on top of it.

The whole IFF is corrupt but yes Estili auscks balla too

[Lorestani]

I made a quintessential observation, the most important takeaway from this game. Here it is. I have always been uneasy about Jahanbakhsh and Kanaani. I could never tell why though. Today, I understood: if Skocic were a player, not a coach, he'd be one of the two: looking world-class against pushovers (like Lebanon); choking like there is no tomorrow against actual opponents. That's it. Now I understand.
