Iran vs Iraq post match discussion

[ehsan singapore]

Good effort. I was pleased to see such a physical game from our reserves. Sometimes I find myself wishing that our A-team had that same hustle.

Azmoun is good, but he will not start in Asia Cup. If anything, I bet that he will be the third striker after Gucci and Ansarifard.

you kidding me azmoun behind ansarifard?you are not ok right

[shahname]

Since no one mentioned it I will...The result is meaningless because on any given day it could have been 2-1 for either side had they buried the quality chances ( lol at the pk miss)...

What most impressed me was the composure of both keepers, particularly Beiranvand...with him Firouzan and Haghighi no more room exists for Davari or anyone else for that matter. This might be the strongest trio of keepers we have had in goal ever!

^I don't think there is a big gap between Haghighi and Beiranvand. Always been a fan of his.

Beiranvand is very solid if he continues to develop and goes to europe he can be one the best iranian keepers of all time
Amiri looked dangerous at times but needs to finish much better. Wouldnt risk playing him in the actual tournament
Ansarifard is so bad its actually a little disrespectful that he was wearing the captains armband. I would rather seyed jalal play up top than him and I can see why osasuna dont want him
Soroush is a beast for his size and should definitely start over shojaei
Rezaein looked like a solid replacement for montazeri at rb
Azmoun should logically start over gucci but unlikely that will happen
Overall promising game if finishing was there should have finished 3/4-0

This "friendly" means nothing. What matters are obviously the upcoming games. Iran has to come out of the gates strong and finish off opponents quickly and convincingly or play like Argentina of the 1990 World Cup [more likely considering Carlos's philosophy] Both will work but anything else will not.

I was impressed by everyone we won over their A team with our B team . Special thanks to Cq who have implented tactical awareness in our players. Really nice to see a new generation of blood coming in, in TM

Khak tu sare federatione Felestine! a second friendly would have been ideal.

The bad thing of this asian cup is that we are going back to playing the arab mediocrity routine : Iraq, Bahrein, Qatar, UAE, Jordan or Iraq in row.

It can affect our level after our golden era, playing "Macedonia - Angola - Nigeria - Argentina - Bosnia - SKorea"

[MR.S]

So ugly of the iraqi player triyng to hurt ashkan in a frindly game

[LiverpoolFC]

I would select Azmoun ahead of Goochanzejad any day of the week

[Camran khan]

None of the players were really that bad. Some of them were hard to judge dur to the position they played in. Such as Ghafouri and Ansarifard. Other than thay they were all pretty decent, but somewhat unsynced, which was expected.

[PSGman#19]

what an amazing match. I'm so happy that we have such a good bench.

Go Sardar. (btw, is it just me or Rezaian looks like Farhad Majidi?)

No I was thinking the same

[DireStraits]

Anyone else noticed Jahanbakhshs contributions and almost zero errors?
This guy will be world class one day!!!!!

For some reason CQ does not start him the right place. I belive he and Azmoun will play greate to gather.

[Taz]

Such a shame that it's our last and most important preparatory match for a major tournament like the Asian Cup that offers CQ the only opportunity to give experience and try out possible new recruits. Imagine the development of these players if we could organise regular competitive games for them.
