Please explain Skocic logic to me?

[CAGE]

1. Arguably our best player Ghoddos is warming the bench, in our most crucial match and didn't play last match either.

2. Makes defensive sub when were trailing 1-0

3. Makes 2 substitutes with only 30 SECONDS remaining on clock?!

Is this guy in a coma? I don't care if he is 20-0 this doesn't make sense.


EDIT: Ghoddos has played PERFECTLY every match he has come in, It isn't like he is being scrutinized for a bad performance. Skocic seems to be rewarding bad performers and punishing good ones.

I honestly don’t know who’s actually coaching this team

You see Karim shouting and giving instructions more than you ever see the coach. He appears to always just be standing there with his arms crossed. I don’t get it

I don't care if he was 9-0 or whatever.. All of those opponents were against much inferior teams.. Whenever we play someone to our level like Korea, he gets exposed.. He is not a TM material coach.. Even Yahya would have been better..

However, we can't make a coaching change at this point. He has gotten us results and its a results driven business.. Hopefully after WC, a change will be made.

Question for the more knowledgeable fans, is Ghoddos somewhat fluent in Persian? I would like to know if he is able to communicate with the rest of the team well. I just don't get why he doesn't get the start, or get subbed in. Skocic could've brought him in for Gholi's replacement. Ghoddos played fantastic against Syria, granted I know he was positioned as a midfielder for that game, but today he could've been subbed for Gholi and played as a winger. So frustrating that we have firepower on the bench and isn't getting used. Prior matches, I thought Skocic was doing a decent job with his subs, today it was extremely frustrating when you could clearly tell we needed fresh legs to keep the pressure on.

Should beat South Korea 2-0 in Tehran. 1-1 is not an acceptable result... back to the drawing board. Team e' Melli needs to hire assistant coaches for improving both the offensive and the defensive tactics.

Karim bagheri is the manager! skocic is the yes man! Who would play ahmadnoor over ghoddos? at least sub him out in 2nd half!

This team is no way near world cup level! Either give skocic time or look for a proper option available!

I agree he certainly ain’t no well qualified world beater international coach …be careful what you wish for asking for his axing .....!!
our federation is broke as a joke and that's before paying up some 5 mil plus judgment they lost to that moftkhoreh e lard asss..!!

Personally fear even a far worse replacement will be brought on in Eskoochie place ..!
@ least he is pragmatic in his game approaches & plays mostly to our strengths & doesn’t try to revolutionize our overall successful game approaches from long CQ’s tenure & for most part plays the strongest squad available to him ..!
But yea, we have the squad strength & potential to be a far more formidable WC participant once we qualified with a coach like that of Saudi's.!
But even him gonna need at least a few months in charge (3-4 challenging friendlies & at least 2-3 weeklong prep camps) prior to WC to get his ideas through & game strategies properly implemented..! & let me tell you what …! AINT GONNA HAPPEN ..!
Be happy with status quo or be prepared to be even more disappointed..!

If he continues our qualifications process as well he has so far, we’d be fools to opt for a change knowing our fundamental deficies above, the least of which is $$s..!

There is no logic. He got dedication and wants to win. But he is not an intelligent guy and thats his weakness.
