Wow, this just proves what a miserable coach Ghotbi was, i know that Ajax is a strong team but still, 4-0!?

I didn't get to watch the match as I was planning too, but from the highlights there's immediately two things I can tell:

- The defence is asleep.
- They are playing with a reasonably high line.

Conclusion:

One dosn't need need to watch a game to conclude that this team isn't too organized.
Let's see if that can change.

It wasn't even Ajax' A team, but rather a B and even a C team in the 2nd half. They had like 4-5 debutants in their team.

bit worried about Ghotbai tbh i am baffeled by why the S-pulse went for him, he did ok as TM manager but not good enough to warrant a contract with a J-league team. The atmosphere in the S-pulse stadium looks great though but on the pitch the defence looks disorganised.

I really don't think Ghotabi has what it takes to turn it around, partly because he doesn't make the team have a "Killer instinct" to win games 2-3 goals to nill. Only game Iran played were they had a real killer attacking instinct in was against UAE and there was little at stake there. I hope for the S-Pulse fans ghotabi doesn't let him down, he needs to take full advantage of the break that has been given to the J-League and reorganise his team.

What is his team currently ranked in the J-League standings?
