Iran vs Syria - R16 - Game info + TV/Live stream info + Discussions

[Iranianarsenal11]

Fans are not realizing how deep tm roster is.
not much difference between starters and bench
Except for medi o sardar ,rest almost all same level starter and their bench.

We talking about 2 days rest play japan ...

Watch u will be japan resting players against bahrain and send a different team against tm.

How deep TM roster is? Kateb jan I respect your opinions but did you not watch Iran vs HK?

Without Ezatolahi and Ghoddos in the midfield we are COOKED. Really strange callups from GN and it might come back to bite us....

No Nourollahi and he's tearing Zamelek FC a new one.... No Hosseinnejad and he's scoring a brace against Qatar SC in Sepahan's friendly.

With all due respect if we play a midfield combo of Cheshmi and Ebrahimi we might even lose to Indonesia.

Ghoddos and Ezatolahi are must starts

What's this talk of TM being deep ? We have only 4 midfielders, one of whom plays CB for esteghlal. Omid Ebrahimi play's like he's lagging with 500 ms ping on call of duty. Really if you take Ghoddos out we turn into Skocic's TM and chances of winning close.

Ezatolahi and Ghoddos have to start every match going forward till the tournament ends...they just have to suck it up. Maybe play them for a half against Syria but after that if Cheshmi enters the pitch its over for us.

Cheshmi has been solid in midfield bro. He made one bad pass when he tried to make an assist. He is essential for us in this tournament to replace a tired Ezat in the second half.

People seem to forget that Asadi has played MF and CB most of his career.

I'm sure in an emergency, we can play him in that position.

He is not a good midfielder. He struggled to keep up with the pace in the game he played. There is a reason Javad plays him as a cb in a back 3.

He is the best cb on the roster😅

Tm CAN BEAT SYRIA with combination of pgl players which their team is currently 4th through 16 in the current table...

Although I agree with you but HK game was just something else. I believe we were told to go for a draw. 6 New players next to each other is not gonna workout bro. 0% Chemistry between them. After hearing what rahman rezaei said about Japan it makes sense that they went for a draw. They gave HK players so many chances they just couldn't finish.

On other side Syria is a physical vahshi team that could really make our team tired. We've been hit with fatigue in most games. I just hope we can sub out some players at 60th minute.

Mashti jan Syria has conceded only 1 goal and that was against big ass Australians. Its not gonna be walk in the park for us. We must go full power and if lucky sub out players in 60th mark.

When playing japan on 2 days rest ,key players must rest....if r16 win is tm goal then I agree go full force. If tm has bigger goals then just playing in 1/4 then must have strategies....PERSIAN PLAYERS ARE WORTHLESS ON 2 DAYS REST.physiclly they are not capable to recover.

I agree with you but why risk and lose R16. I think we should go step by step and plan perfectly for that. Remember that its not like old days where we get 3 sub max. Now days we get 5+1 subs. Its almost like changing the whole team. I think we should start full force and see how the game goes and then make subs when we are comfortable.

Another thing is that its actually 60hrs rest if we reduct transfer time

Can someone please show this To Team Melli players and staff . Specially ramin rezaeian and ARJ!!!!!

This is exactly how we've been conceding goals::

My line up for Syria:

Beiranvand
Rezaeian - Fallah - Shoja - Haj Safi
Ezatolahi - Ghoddos
Gholizadeh - Taremi - Ghaedi
Ansarifard

After we score 2 goals and have a comfy lead:

Subs ->

Cheshmi for Ezatolahi
Ebrahimi for Ghoddos
Torabi for Taremi
Reza Asadi for Gholizadeh
Mohebi for Ghaedi

(Basically substituting olaghs and khars with some physicality to defend since Syria has a bad offense)

Important part is to put heavy pressure on them and open the scoreline and start dominating early. If we're tied 0-0 at half time we can be shithoused

5th night of praying for tm.

Oh lord please protect team melli and its fans
from the devil.
Oh lord lord protect tm players from Injuries.

Amen

I don't know buddy. I rewatched the HK game and I felt he was solid. Just not as a CB. He will play a very important role for us in the tournament.

We have to judge performances based on this tournament, for instance, Hajsafi who I dislike has been quite good and Ramin who has been quite good for us has been poor, Shoja who I think is okay has been immense for us.
