Sepas for the info. Could you also share some info on the quality of TM's opposition in Asia at that time and where they ranked in comparison to us?

After 90 ag until to 96 ac
Japan, ksa,s.k,uae, china was better than tm.
of course we could of beat them at any given day per our fans mentality but imo tm was 6th in asia when mamad mayli taked over ...

[AhuraMazda1]

I tell u this mylikohan had balls of steel.
he taked over tm that did not even qualify from its ac group and got ass kicked in wcq94.....
he built with what was considered a youth movement in that era. His 96ac team is most dominating ac team last 48 years, refs robbed tm
against ksa in semi if not that trophy easily belonged to him...mamad myli made tm elite again before him tm sucked for 6 years period.

I was a child back then and so unfortunately I don't recall.

May I ask, were our opponents back then considered to be as good if not better than us in Asia? My understanding is that our opponents such as South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait were very good but we were in a category level above them like Japan is today? If so then I would like to correct my statement. But regardless, my point is that I would like to see a strong line-up against top sides and a line-up where we can attack and retain possession at the same time. So my starting line-up against any top side we play would be.

---------------------Beiro-------------------
----Moharami---Kanani--Shoja----Ehsan
---------------------Ezat---------------------
----Gholi--------Saman----------Ghaedi
-------------Azmoun------Taremi--------

But it's delicate, because it relies on the team's ability to keep the ball which is why Jahanbaksh for instance would completely render this type of line-up ineffective.

We will have a shaky defence regardless of how we play and how many defensive minded players we put in the line-up. We will still invite attack after attack by good sides.

I have had enough of this style of football. I want us to try to score goals with attacking players and if we lose the game we can have our head held high and say we came to play football.

I've made plans to be in HK for the WCQ game against these lot in June.

I really hope I don't have to watch a repeat of what I saw yesterday, I don't think my head or my heart could take it.

make sure you are heavily pre-medicated

[Tarsal Claw]

The biggest exposure is the bench. I’ve mentioned before that no one is coming up to replace our legionnaires or show any serious potential. Ally is too injury prone and Ghayedi isn’t going to cut it in any foreign leagues. Get ready for some dark ages

Mayeli Kohan?

t is time we played with a different philosophy because your approach has been tested for over 40 years.

Mayeli Kohan?

[AhuraMazda1]

Actually our results speak for themselves. We got more points at the world cup playing with an organized defensive approach than we ever did with this headless-chicken, delusional open attacking style.

This version that we saw was chaotic for several reasons including the types of players we are using. I mentioned this in another thread.

Regarding your point, we haven't been successful i.e. reaching a final in the AC or advancing to the next round in the WC. It is time we played with a different philosophy because your approach has been tested for over 40 years.

When was the last time we played pragmatic offensive football against any decent side at the WC or AC? We lose playing conservatively. I rather lose trying to score goals

[babak_iran]

Mohammadi was awful...are we watching the same player

I thought him and Ghaedi had good chemistry on the left wing in the first half other then milads blunder, but he played like shit second half.

[TM4LIFE]

After some time to cool off emotions here’s some positive:

1) Weaknesses were heavily exposed, and the coaching staff is not blind to it so I anticipate some adjustments

2) Saman did not get injured

3) Players who were hurt a bit in the first game (Azmoun) or who will play a key part (Moharrami) were rested

4) 3 points

[Pishi_Rules]

Poor Saman carrying this team, and after all the time on the bench. If he’s reading this - I’m so grateful that he’s still fighting and giving it a red hot go

[Iran_19]

I can't believe this guy only took Ghoddos as all over CM and didn't take Nour!
Even AK is better than both Cheshmi and 36 yrs old Omid!
