As much as we all love ARJ, his performances in TM are pretty much consistently ineffective. It has a lot to do with the system just not suiting him. I hope CQ can get more out of him leading up to and in the AC. We need more production from our wingers,midfielders in terms of goals, when was the last time a midfielder scored for us besides ashkan pks?
Could it be that us as fans, myself included, overrate him a bit? Let's take a look. He had one amazing year in a league that's not very strong. He has never really shined for TM and is having a adjustment period in the EPL.
When I watch him, I just feel like he is does not have a quick twitch muscle and isn't explosive like most elite wingers. He picks up speed once he get going, but doesn't have that short burst. He is a smart player with a very good shot, but not as technically gifted as a guy like Golizadeh.
Nope. He is a once in a generation Iranian player. Smart, Quick, great passer, strong shot, physical, Comes back on defense,etc... His "struggles" with TM has to do with the tactics Veronica Crabtree deploys.Quote:

Some of us that know European football and especially the Dutch league did mention not to fall for the stats and typical Irooni hype and like I've mentioned before, if he doesn't perform in EPL then he's not the real deal.
I still think it's early to judge him. I'll make my mind about him at the end of the year but personally I don't rate him that high and this is why I hate the dutch league.
That’s not totally true. He was very good vs PSV multiple games, same with Ajax and multiple Europa league matches ( think lyon). I think the issue is that for him to show himself really well his team needs a lot of possession and players around him who make intelligent runs. In TM when we had good spells of possession he contributed well, same with AZ. But when we don’t have possession, although he does good on defense, he just isn’t dynamic enough to carry the ball 40 yards and create a chanceQuote:

Wingers like Hazard, Sane, Sterling, Depay and such can create chances themselves out of nowhere and score. Jahanbakhsh isn't the type of forward who carries you through difficult games unfortunately.Quote:

Also we need to remember, one of his main traits is link up play with teammates. He had such a great understanding with his CF weghirdt, his rb svensson, and the kids like til and koopmeiners, the Norwegian guy too, and that contributed a lot to his great form last season.
Once he understands Murray’s movements, montoyas play, groß, then we will see him really shine
