Iran vs. Uzbekistan - [Match Thread] | World Cup 2026 Qualifier | November 21st |

[Nokhodi]

Kanaani getting caught out alot. He is too slow, even against Uzbek players who are not that fast.

Goal Uzbekistan...

[Nokhodi]

Ali slowpoke Karimi mostly responsible for that terrible backpass.

He is not a TM player. One of those who doesn't belong in modern football like Hajisafi.

GN needs to put some players in to first stop, and then counter the Uzbek counter.

[Ghermez Agha]

How long will he be out minimum if it is a groin injury? We cant afford to lose him for the AC

It really depends on the severity of it. If it is lighter/mild then probably 3-4 weeks but if it’s serious strain or tear (which it didn’t appear to be based on the fact that he could walk off without any issue) then 2-4 months. It looked more like the former but we’ll find out soon…..

[Nokhodi]

Ghodoos going out is a huge issue for us. We are way too slow in the middle with no one who can hold the ball and handle speed.

He is our most important player, whitout him we collapse

[Nokhodi]

We are ahead but losing all possession because we have a black hole in the middle. Ezatollahi and especially Ali Karimi are nobodies when it comes to bossing the middle. We need to try other players here in the absence of Ghodoos.

We are just getting lucky right now

Great for us if we pull off the win but wthey are owning us right now without Ghoddos

[Nokhodi]

Again we suffer a counter because our central mids can't do s*it. Any team knows go through their middle and you'll be fine.

That's what happens when GN want to play cowardly. Hosseinnejad was the solution not AK

[Nokhodi]

Mohebbi injured too. Landed funny after a header.

[BacheLot]

Been toothless since Sammy’s absence
Sardar needs to step up to false 9
we need some possession

[Artaxerxes]

This game smells 2-2 coming anytime

[Nokhodi]

Ali Karimi losing possession again.
one of the worst TM performances in a while.

Bringing on Cheshmi and Mehrdad Mohammadi
