Friendly game: Iran vs. South Korea @ Azadi, Tehran: 18-11-2014

CQ's opinion > Yours.

Which results>> in being nr.4 in the WC group

[perspolis#1]

We don't have a good passing game because he lack a natural Central Attacking midfielder. We also need a taller/more physical striker than Gucci if we plan to just lob the ball up to him.

The difference betweeen CQ's team and any vatani coach we've had is the fitness he's brought to our side. I've never seen our team run so much and even if we play terribly on the day, we can stay in the match due to pure workrate. This is definitely applaudable.

[K. Nader]

The good: Hajsafi, Dejagah, Dejagah, Haghighi

The bad: Masoud, Heydari, Ando

The rest have been 'mamooli'

Teymourian has really been a let-down. His corners have been terrible and his pass completion rate must be close to zero.

Sub out Heydari and Shojaei, move Montazeri to RB, bring in Sadeghi as a CB, and bring in Azmoun as an AMF.

You guys are more emotional than a girl on her period. Thank god none of your opinions mean JACK.

Ah there you are

Now since Shojaei showed once again what a shitty player he has become, you feel free to call names instead of admitting you were wrong

he is out of shape and not good when turning any more, basically he isnt explosive.

Hes a little out of form I can agree, but my point was that he didn't mess anything up for his performance to be called poor.

You know what's our problem ?! we have been playing like this for a long time but since we win more often that not, we forget just how frustrating we play. I swear if we score and win this game everybody is going to forget just how bad we played and that's our real problem. just because we win, it dosen't mean we are playing good, the moment we realize that TM will become much better.

um ..... no ...... in most worlds, when you play good, you win. That's how it's always been, unless the rules have changed......It's not about how many times you cross the ball over your opponent's net. It's about how efficient you are.

We were lucky not to get scored on, we were so cold in the first 20 minutes and Korea was very organized.

- Haghighi is playing very confidently and has had some nice saves to save us
- Something is not right in our defense, I feels like montazeri is playing both RB and CB as Heydari seems to be going too far up we are exposed
- Hosseini has been solid, and I am impressed with Hajsafi although not much attack came on his side, he saved us from a goal. Also he has some serious threat when he moves up in the counter, great cross by him
- Dejagah looked tired, but he has been showing some great dribbles, if he can coordinate with Hajsafi he can cause a counter attack
- I am not just being a hater, i would like to see some one argue this, Shojaei killed that counter attack, gave a give away, and a crappy pass. He has been largely invisible, and i hope he gets subbed for anyone else, bring in Noori, anyone but him in CAM that is a crucial position for counter attacks
- Jahanbakhsh is the most prepared and fit player on our side, he is filling in for shojaei, and heydari, he has some serious speed I was praying when the rebound fell, it was him there
- Ando is running a lot and putting a lot of pressure but his crosses seemed a bit off, and that shot was a true waste, he needs to pick it up
- Nekounam has not gave a single long ball, Hosseini is doing that for him and that was a dangerous mistake by him
- Reza seems ready got a good volley but is fouling too much


Korea is beating us at our own game, they are pressuring us in our own half and our players are giving up the ball. They are looking to draw fouls (which the ref is giving) and they are going for long range shots.
- Best players of first half (Haghighi, JB, Hajsafi) Worst players (Shojaei, Heydari)
- Would like to see Ansarifard come in as CF behind reza, or see Noori sub in for Shojaei, wouldn't mind having montazeri move to RB and have sadeghi come in for Heydari either

[Hajik]

I miss khalatbari

[arash123]

lucky we are not behind 1-0.

i just cannot think why shojaei continues to play for TM...

[K. Nader]

These IRIB serial trailers are downright garbage. All it shows is people yelling for 5 minutes and tossing crap all over the place. There's no way of knowing what the show is even about. LOL

[Taz]

Another 45 minute period where Shojaei hasn't been the best player on the pitch? Goddamn it, end this already and get Lionel Khalatbari in here to scare the shit out of the Koreans.

Hyperbole aside, been a fairly decent performance. Slept on a few occasions at the back but look lively in attack and it's generally an improved performance to our last two games against these guys.

Has anyone figured out our tactical game plan, 'cause I am estruggling?!

[BacheLot]

Explain to me what makes you think ando was bad? A bad shot makes him bad? He was everywhere as usual today and closed up a lot of the free space, and besides the one free kick and the one shot I didn't see him do anything wrong?

he has been one of the weakest links for TM since 2013. it's not like i expect him to be perfect, but he really needs to be replaced ASAP
