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

[persiangodfather]

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.

[IRAN_TILL_I_DIE]

just seen TeamMelli post on instagram that they will be playing against Russia in Kazan 7th Mehr, so end of September time..

[persiangodfather]

how does fifa allow iran to play a non fifa member (russia)

[koorosh]

Drop All of the players who went to WC26... especially Eckert.

[Karimi 8]

Not much changes in the current call up? I saw photos of the usual characters guess they will use the upcoming Asia cup as an excuse to not change the dinosaurs again and half will remain into the next wc

[a_m]

these are friendly games which means at least TESt some new players who have not had a chance to play or show them selves…./
we all know that Ghalanoei is a piece of shit who will not give or try to give anyone deserving of a chance to be part of TM…

This is my assessment of the players invited


Beiranvand (Tractor) - we already know what he brings doesn’t need to be part of every squad

Hosseini (Sepahan) - honestly not at TM level anymore

Niazmand (Persepolis) - should be the number 1

Naderi (Tractor) - he isn’t TM material to slow

Haji Safi (Sepahan) - wtf how is he even playing , to slow to old , too washed up

Khalilzadeh (Tractor)- same wtf he sucks , old slow washed up ,,

Zarei (Persepolis)- finally a chance to show himself, if he gets playing time

AAghasi (Esteghlal) - deserves this call up , hope he gets playing time

Fallah (Esteghlal) - deserves this call up , but I feel he won’t get playing time

Saleh (Esteghlal) - he is good form

Rezaeian (Foolad) wtf , he is done , old and washed up

AYousefi (Sepahan) - he had decent at WC

Hajieidi (Sepahan) - no not TM material

Noorafkan (Sepahan)- why , not TM material , like he doesn’t he get invited all the time like his he related to a pastar??

Limouchi (Sepahan) no , no not TM material

Mohammadi (Persepolis) - he doesn’t even play in Persepolis but get invited to TM ??

Mahmoudi (Persepolis) - idk we have to see

Sourgi (Shams Azar) - idk !

[Iran_19]

Uzbeks have 8 legionnaires in Russia, Portugal, Turkey, premier league!
we have probably one if counting eckert in top 10 leagues in the world!

Iran football like the rest of the country is in turmoil. We havent really produced quality players over the past 8-10 years. System is broken and no body knows how to fix it.

Let me fix that for you, “no one cares enough to fix it.”
