Players that should be dropped from Team Melli

[a_m]

Alireza beiravand - age

Hussein hosseini - age

Saleh Hardani - not good enough at this level

Ehsan Hajsafi(captain)- age

Shojae Khalilzadeh -age/not good enough

Milad Mohammadi - age

Hossein Kanaa -age/not good enough

Ali Nemati- age/

Ramin Rezaeian- age

Saeid Ezatolahi - too slow at this level

Jahanbakhsh- age/slow/not good enough

Saman Ghoddos - age

Rouzbeh Cheshmi -age /slow

Mahdi Torabi - age

Mehdi Taremi- age/not good enough

Mehdi Ghayedi - not good enough

Ali Alipour - not good enough

Shahriyar Moghanlou - not good enough

in my humble opinion these players are either done cause of age or are just not good enough at this level anymore, so it be better to drop them all and start fresh, feel free to add any player you think are done with Team Melli

basically the whole team

[Iran_19]

Beiro, Kanani, Saeid are still fine
Beiro is keeper so still has few yrs left
Kanani also until Iri and Zare and the rest are ready
Saeid slowed down but we don’t have anyone better in that particular position
Taremi and Saman are ok to stay around but not as starter!
the rest can be replaced
we don’t have much depth in right and left back but non of the names mentioned are anything special (despite great WC by ramin), they can be in and out!
right and left back is our weakness link I would say!

Agreed for the most part and as Iran_19 mentioned some are still good enough to be half way starters or come off the bench. Taremi for example should've been used as a super sub instead of a starter in the world cup and we would've been better off with Azmoun or Dennis Eckert as lone striker with some combo of Sayyadmanesh, Hosseinnejad and Hosseinzade as CAMs behind them - but then again we're talking about spineless GN and Team-e hokoomati as opposed to Team Melli so I'm just day dreaming here!

I also think Ghayedi's pace and creativity could still be useful against AFC opponents.
