[Discussion] Iran's line-up against Japan announced

[ehsan singapore]

is good line up just ando for ebrahimi

[Z Joon]

I prefer Pouraliganji for Ebrahimi on the DM position, we would have a very psychical and hard to break down midfield with his strength next to Saeid.

The midfield would be way too unstable, unbalanced and inexperienced in that case imo, Pouraliganji is also not the best passer. In this formation Ezzatollahi is taking a more defensive role ball-winning role while Ebrahimi will have to link the midfield plays.

As much as everyone for some reason hate Ebrahimi, he is a safe option and never has any major f*ck ups. He is the ideal player for CQ and there is a reason why he was constantly invited in his teams since 2012.

For the first time in years I'm extremely frustrated with CQ...3 out of the 4 players he has playing on the defensive line is a big ? for me. Nonetheless I hope to see a good game, this will be a great test for ezatolahi at DM

1. no captin for such a difficult match !
2. our right side is defensive players while our left side has players that love going forward. left side known to be a problem
either japan has a weak right side and CQ wants to take advantage of this or he doesn't care anymore and just wants players to get to learn the hard way how to defend

Good line-up. Wish Ebrahimi wouldn't be there though.

[AIrani]

Why PourAliGanji does not get invitation?

Where is Ando in this list?

Instead of Ebrahimi, should have used a young player.

Was not Azmoun injured in a warm up?

The midfield is weak.
