dude WHAT? The number of events that transpired between the intercepted pass and the goal is so much, how could you possibly blame that on him?

I said technically, the defense was guilty but JB was just as guilty repeatedly giving up possession on that right flank. I rewatched the match many times to see where and how we went wrong. But I don’t solely base that goal on him, Rezaeian and the whole defense needs to take a hard, long look at themselves (expect Mohammadi).
Ultimately I feel CQ rushed JB back a bit too quickly, particularly given that we had such a good Torabi (who scored against Japan four years ago), Ghoddos etc... who could have deputised.
JB has never really done well in CQ's system, which is understandable given how we play, but even in context of that he wasn't good for his games here.
Hindsight is always 20/20 though
Using JB in AC as starter was a big mistake by CQ, he wasn't ready for big games.
JB was involved in Brighton best stretch of the season. They need him back A.S.A.P
You guys are so harsh on him. He just came off of a 2-3 month injury. And TM under gohroosh doesn't suit creative wingers that double as strikers too.
If you remember our quarterfinal match vs korea in '07 then you must also remember Resoul Khatibi's performance, and would never dare liken ARJ to him because having him on was literally like TM was playing with 1 less player. lol.
