TM final roster for WC2018 Russia.

[Essi]

Do you guys really think that Shojaie will make the final WC squad

and is he truly good enough at 35 to be there ????

I'm pretty sure he will make it. It's not only about age. Carlos needs players with international experience, not alone from La-Liga.

[Kiarash]

GK: Mazaheri, Haghighi & Abedzadeh

DF: Hosseini, Cheshmi, Montazeri, Mohammadi, Ghafouri, Rezaeian, Pouraliganji

MF: Shojaei, Ezatolahi, Dejagah, Teymourian, Jahanbakhsh, Torabi, Ghoddos, Abdollahzadeh

FW: Azmoun, Gucci, Taremi, Rezaei & Ansarifard

[ballhugger]

why you wanna cut a player with world cup experience, and has scored in world cup,if its based on club form, azmoun has the worse form. also kaveh and karim dont deliver in NT, expecially karim. i think the one which will be cut is between karim and kaveh. gucci can hold the ball well, and is strong, in games like spain he can hold the ball and get freekicks, azmoun is not strong enough

I would not cut him, but CQ will be forced to. I personally would still cut Karim, but I think CQ likes Karim due to his size and strength which will come handy against the strong defensemen like Pepe and Ramos or Pique. If he does take all of them he will use Kaveh as an attacking midfielder who will run his life off in the last 20-30 minutes to put pressure on the opposing team's defenders in order not to allow them to join the attack in case we are ahead and trying to hold on to our lead.

I think about 90% of all of the rosters posted are the same. Mine also has a slight difference in that I would want to include youth in building for the future. They will take up the spots of players who probably wouldn't get playing time anyway so it won't affect the play on the field.

Interesting no Hosseini, Montazeri or Rezaeian but you have Pourghaz back?

Sarlak won’t get close to TM the way he’s been playing unfortunately

Rezaeian is there!

[Iran_19]

With the way Majid Hosseini is playing for Esteghlal, CQ should take him into the consideration also, i mean after Jalal and PAG, the rest are more or less at the same level, but he has been better than Ansari, and not sure Montazeri will be fit enough. So i would take Jalal, Ganji, Cheshmi and Majid Hosseini as CD. He is quite young(21) and played in all NT levels as well.

I would choose as of now the same exact list, with SS gk Hosseini in for Hamed Lak. I think gucci is out of list right now, and with shojaei almost 100% going to AEK, where he will start and be involved in key Europa League games, he must be included as well and rotate with Ashkan at CAM. On standby I would have Gucci, Alipour, Amiri.

[Iran_19]

I am pretty sure CQ will take Amiri to WC and he will even play in WC.

I think he will drop Torabi for Amiri.

[Iran_19]

I think he will drop Torabi for Amiri.

Torabi had a very promising start with TM but staying in Iran and Saipa kind of slowed down his progress which is pretty sad.

[LoveTeamMelli]

CQ is definitely taking Shojaei for his experience, and we need energy-driven forwards like Rezaei, Taremi, and Azmoun which can keep up with the pace of our group matches. Over a 90 minute time, Gucci is unfit for the cut. Ghoddos will be interesting to watch in the WC, and we have a nice core of youth players for CQ to choose from, but need experience as well against the likes of Spain and Portugal

[inarsenewetrust]

Torabi had a very promising start with TM but staying in Iran and Saipa kind of slowed down his progress which is pretty sad.

Agreed. He is still young (23), but wont be considered young for much longer. Ideally should have left iran 2 years ago. His physique for a winger is great, 6 feet tall, but fast, excellent dribbler, good finisher, good long distance shooter, runs his ass off. I really think Panionios could be in the works, and if so, he needs to take the offer and move. He will kill it there and get on the radar of top greek teams, and other good leagues as well.
