Do we field a B-team vs. UAE?

[Kavian]

Haji Agha much easier to replace. Shojaee on the other hand, has proved his experience helps the team even though his performance not always as expected.

[KasraKhan]

Also, won't CQ bench both Hajsafi and Shojaei, who are sitting on yellows? If so, we'll have two huge gaps in our starting lineup which could be replaced by Ansarifard and Rafiei, respectively.

[Messy]

Rest whomever is complaining and let them watch the quarter final from the bench if their sub for the UAE game plays better than them.

You shouldn't be tired by game 3 in the Asian Cup...

Tehranto,

You make some valid points and I commend your courage for taking a controversial stance.

Since, South Korea beat Australia, and topped their group, that threw off our predicted knockout stage opposition drastically.

Now, if we top our group, this would be our finals route:

Quarterfinals - Iraq
Semifinals - South Korea

If we get second in our group, this would be our finals route:

Quarterfinals - Japan
Semifinals - Australia

Clearly, we'd have an easier finals route if we top our group. This introduces new significance to the UAE match, making a win vital and playing with our A-team a must.

Thanks for your comments,

I know the match is critical. I did mention that our B-team has as well of a chance to beat the UAE team as a fatigued A-team, while this would not be the case if we face Japan, Australia, Korea or even Iraq (who play different than other Arab teams).

So I made the post with a victory in mind

A or B ,,, both capable of kicking UAE ass ...

That's exactly my point.

We should go for the win. The bracket we get if we win is much easier than the one we would get if we lose.

I like your line up for the UAE game

[ehsan singapore]

Fatigue is a huge issue for our A-squad and I'd go with this:

-------------------------------------------Beiranvand-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------Khanzadeh------------------------------------Sadeghi-----------------------------------
--Heydari ----------------------------------------------------------------------Rezaian------------------
------------------------------------------Omid Ebrahimi----------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------Souroush Rafei-----------------------------------------------------
--------Jahanbaksh------------------------Ansarifard------------------------Amiri-----------------------
-----------------------------------------Reza Gucci--------------------------------------------------------

is not a bad team but i think we still wanna win ,i am not sure we can win with this line up,look good, but we can bring our main players in as subs when we ned them

Agar Jahanbakhsh va Sardar aghaazgar baashan kheili jaleb mishe, sorate baazimon mire balaa.

[Ardalan]

i would say we can make some changes like jahanbaksh in for shojayi, but if we need a win most will still play, however ifjapan lose and we need a draw to get second we might not play a strong team

Winning against UAE with our B team would be very encouraging.
