CQ is our sole striker. He must wear a collared shirt tomorrow to finish around the net.

Okey so Saeid Aghaei and Mohammad Ansari have been cut.
Yayyy. Yahanbax innn:)
I think that was the predictable outcome. CQ was just messing with Qatar these last few days up until 24 hours before to ensure they couldn't make a real plan.
First, Qatar thought Mohammadi was gone, but I'm fairly sure he will play LB. CQ didn't want them to prepare for his blistering speed. These were all mind games. He wants Qatar to think we'll play the AFC.com's predicted squad, which is the usual Hajsafi at LB, Ebrahimi in midfield, etc. I think we're going to get an attacking and fast team tomorrow. Hajsafi will likely be the Left Midfielder in front of Mohammadi. 2 left footers with defensive skill.
Predicted Line-Up:
----------------Biranvand------------------
Rezaeian-Montazeri-Hosseini-Mohammadi
------------Ando-Ezatollahi----------------
Jahanbakhsh---Dejagah-----------Hajsafi
-----------------Azmoun------------------
Yeah that's possible. I would play the same lineup with Ebrahimi instead of Ando since Ando hasn't been in great form for months and months now, and every time Omid and Saeid paired up in the midfield they've been great. Hopefully Torabi can get some decent minutes since he's the perfect player to unlock the clogged defense situations that we might be facing tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a solid win.
My line up:
Beiranvand
Rezaeian-Montazeri-Hosseini-Hajsafi(Milad)
Ezzatollahi-Shojaeian
JB-Dejagah-Amiri
Sardar
I think Iran need play very smart. If Iran score the first goal the rest is very easy.
WTF! that training jersey is actually the newest and most expensive teamwear design in the adidas catalogue (same as german NT) and not even a training jersey. yet they choose the worst and cheapest design for the actual kit.
I was thinking the exact same thing, those training kits are pretty sexy. Good news is the match kits are only temporary so as long as our boys are comfortable in them that's all we can ask for, for now of course. Let's pray those adidas kit proposals we saw in the adidas thread was legit, I'd pay serious $$$$ for those kits!
Torabi's taste in boots is bang on, I hope to see that man get some minutes for that alone.
Also, surely Poura has done enough to take on the mantle of Hosseini now as first-choice starter, no?
He used to coach at my former university (university of Hartford) and has many mutual friends/connections with myself, I've been wanting to have him do an exclusive PFDC interview but I haven't had any luck in my 1-2 attempts I've had to get in contact with him, hopefully soon it'll work out!
Regarding the actual kit:
There is a very high chance that the design of the kit will change over time. Rostov got Adidas kits at the beginning of this season that were an old template, and they started using their 'proper' ones lately, so don't be too bummed about the design just yet :)
Looks good ..
Only concern is the defense. Montazeri and Hosseini, although still very solid, but are older and slower now. Hajsafi is also a doubtful as a defender.
JB may be more suitable as a sub for Ashkan.
Why would Shojaie still be on the roster is really questionable! ... is it just for his experience or we don't have a player who can take his spot.
I swear Shojaei keeps getting underrated…. Guys, he's only 32! He's 9 months older than Ronaldo! Sure, he had like 1-2 bad games earlier this year, but IMO he is back in form and more experienced and smarter than ever!
