Majid Hosseini & Ali Karimi @ Kayserispor | 2023-24

[arj42]

Hear me out: midfield of AK-Ghoddos-Taremi. I just don't see what Ezatolahi offers anymore, to be honest, and it seems like he drags the team down somewhat. Past 4-5 international games he has played, some things I see from him are: Falling down and slipping after a kick, unfocused passing, jogging on defense, commiting fouls and penalties, and having lost his sense of space.

When was the last time he had a meaningful contribution on a national stage?

I personally believe that playing Taremi as CAM with Ghoddos and Karimi behind him to distribute is good, and gives us depth to use a front three like Torabi-Azmoun-ARJ/Gholizadeh

Not sure what I think about this but one thing it would solve is the 2 striker formation. We don’t want to have 2 strikers against top opponents leaving us exposed in back

I think so as well, IMO Taremi is the complete package since the last 2-3 years when he went to Portugal. Putting him behind Azmoun would stay an attacking threat while contributing more defensively. Saman is better suited more in the back where he can cleanly distribute and help in possesion. We already have very good attack, we just need to fix our midfield

True. You could also say that because if experience and age, it would make Taremi an even better CAM because of increased IQ. Also you could say that it would be perfect for the link up between Taremi and azmoun. He could be like Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid. Just hard to get behind having Taremi sit back instead of be the main striker.

Just thought it would be the best place to put Karimi. I wouldn't want to waste his playmaking skill and defensive IQ against top sides by not playing him. I see him as having a starting role and getting subbed out if he runs out of gas, and can be replaced with a defensive or attacking player depending on what we need.

Naturally if he fills that spot at DMF next to Eza, Ghoddos would be best placed at CAM to feed it through to Taremi and Azmoun

That's a sexy squad. If Karimi ends up being too slow, sub him out for Nour or something who can run his ass off.

Replace Jahanbakhsh with the basij boy and you got a sexy squad.

No way ARJ should start ahead of Torabi... Even Mehrdad Mo is better rn

Both started. Won 2-1

I think Niazmand is less prone to silly errors. Beiro can have brain farts

Karimi scores in league game to give them the lead

Goal overturned by VAR because Karimi handballed it

[Ghermez Agha]

1-0 win for kayserispor, Hosseini played 90 min snd AK started and got subbed out in the second half (as mentioned above scored a goal but got called off).

kayersispor are now tied for 4th place and just 2 points behind 3rd place which is a Europa league spot. Hope they keep it up, they’ve been great this year and I’ve enjoyed the games I’ve watched from them.
