Goalkeeping problem on the horizon?

[KeonKish]

Ahmadi is good, but I want to point out one VERY crucial thing. Sepahan has a GOOD defense on set pieces. While SS has soorakh defense , which forced rahmati to have to make weird saves. I'm sure if ahmadi had to play under rahmati's pressure he would crack, we should definitely try ahmadi though. Haghigi does not have the club OR National experience to be our keeper. Factor in iran's hashiye and expectations and you have one very Stressful situation. In my opinion Rahmati should still be our number one. He has the best reflexes, hands down. If you surround Rahmati by Sepahan i'm sure he will quit with his mental paranoia.

^ you may have a point on the defense making a difference.
But here's another point: CQ has NOT surrounded rahmati with sepahan's defense. in fact with heidari, montazeri, rahmati, what we have is a more ss-like defense than a sepahan-like one.

secondly, rahmati has bungled balls and shots and crosses at TM too. so we cant really pin it on the ss defenders only

No we can not, but I can guarantee you SS other than heydari and montazeri has a REALLY weak defense.

This thread has basically been about bashing rahmati for his mistakes and what not, To me currently, If rahmati scores 7 own goals in the next match against qatar, he is still our number one keeper because the amount of points/goals and dignity he saved us from is much more valuable

Rahman Ahmadi switching from Sepahan to Saipa. LOL

With the discussion about Rahmati having finally slowed down, I would like to come back to the initial idea of this thread, the lack of backups for our number one.

Number two was Alireza Haghighi, who has no match praxis in Russia and now unfortunately but not so unexpectedly was dropped. Number three had been Gordan who is not playing for PP anylonger after one blunder. Another option was Forouzan, but he lost his starting spot at Tractor in week 7 to Agil Etemadi.

So basically all backups are gone with the new ones being Ahmadi and Makani, who actually had been number 5 and 6 in Queiroz ranking. I really don't like either of them too much and wouldn't feel too comfortable with them in goal in crucial games, however, Ahmadi at least brings vast experience from ACL and the way our keepers are switched around, I think he will establish himself as number 2 or 3 now for quite some time.

I generally think our IPL coaches are too impatient, switching the keeper too easily - most recently Sadeghi at Sepahan or the mentioned examples.

actually rahman ahmadi in the past TWO+ seasons has proved he is more than capable of being the second in line

I feel sorry for gordan though. EVERY bloody keeper makes blunder every once in a while. but they dont get dropped AND FORGOTTEN immediately into a dungeon with no sign of sunlight! Jose is simply too bloody harsh on him.
as if with this nielson chap they've been winning!!! hah!
Gordan deserves more than this


but dont forget, none of this means rahmati has corrected his problems with crosses. he still continues to make mistakes on them. so he's not out of the doghouse yet
