Saeid Ezatolahi @ Reading FC 2018-2019

[Ghermez Agha]

Do any of you guys that follow him on insta read farsi? He posted a training picture of himself to his insta story but the message is in farsi. Can anyone translate? it might be his usual attention seeking pseudo intellectual quotes he like to post or it might be something legit. if anyone can translate that would be awesome.

I still think this guy is ridiculously talented and i hope he can get his act together. Tough to tell if hes the problem or if its rostov that delays his loan moves.

thats exactly what it is agreed - wherever he goes its important for him to be playing regularly and for the first time in his career stay healthy!

Guys, please. It's very easy to judge the players from some insta stories and call them unprofessional because they are visiting their families back home. Noone here knows about the daily schedule of those players. Do you seriously think that someone like e.g. Ezza doesn't give a damn about his future? There are a bunch of challenges and issues in the background that we don't see. Only because there are no rumors from some shitty Iranian newspapers about it, it doesn't mean that Ezza is laying on his couch and doing nothing except playing with his shombool.

Any news on Ezza? His current team (Rostov) had friendlies throughout this month (and today against CSKA). Ezza posted a story of him vacationing in Iran, does he not plan to return to Rostov?

It’s never clear with this guy.

Unfortunately ezatollahi is neither very professional nor is he hardworking.

He was doing the same exact shit last summer and it took him months to get to reading and actually play.

The guy is very talented but the lack of concern for his future is concerning.

Statistical analysis article:

https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2019/6/19/18639784/how-did-reading-fc-performances-change-last-season-royals

The graph suggests that our displays didn’t change a huge amount overall under Paul Clement until around 13 matches into the season - the 3-1 win over Millwall which also followed the second international break. Before that point we’d been fairly consistent in how poor we were, and there was even a slight upturn after the 3-0 victory against Hull City - our first home win of the season.

Interestingly, that game was also the debut of Saeid Ezatolahi, who would play the next handful of matches until getting injured after a 4-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion. He ended his Reading career (at time of writing) with a record of one comfortable win (Hull), a plucky draw (Brentford away), a narrow loss (QPR at home) and a heavier one (West Brom).

I’m loathe to go so far as to say that we’d have done noticeably better under Paul Clement if Ezatolahi had stayed fit, but the drop-off in average team performances soon after his injury is still intriguing (I’m counting out the Millwall average rating due to it largely being distorted by Yakou Meite’s brace and Anssi Jaakkola’s individual heroics). I’ll let you decide that question over Ezatolahi for yourselves - thoughts in the comments and on our social media pages please.

Whatever the case, performances drop from there on in and don’t properly recover until the New Year. That’s a period I highlighted in a recent tactics review of the 2018/19 campaign as being largely defined by Paul Clement’s inability to settle on a coherent approach, with Reading lurching from formation to formation without a clear idea on what the best way forward was.



The influence of both Rinomhota and Ezatolahi had been key in different stages of the season, with the whole team benefitting from the balance that such convincing holding midfielders gave the side. The defence has an easier job when there’s someone sticking in tackles in the midfield, and attacking players enjoy the freedom that defensive security behind them provides.

for most players you'd be right....but come on, there is no league the suits Ezi more than premier league/championship! his only issue is his durability.....on the pitch this man is a tank

I agree. He's really up there, physically. I think he can definitely succeed in England, and anywhere else because he also is good on the ball (Spanish league) and hard working (German league). He can really play anywhere and succeed, IF he stays healthy!

[Ghermez Agha]

Note a to all our players, current and future, stay the heck out of England!

nice vid of his Spain highlights..!! hadnt seen it before..!!

poor guy has been going through a bit of an unlucky rough patch for a year or more now, but he is such a class, still quiet young and promising MFdr and so deserving of a decent EU transfer ..!!
it shouldnt be too hard of a task for his agent to find him one considering his football background and being a free transfer..!!?

he was clearly a CQ favorite .... wonder how he'd get on at TM with Wilmot ..!? Probably better off in a more balanced and attacking formation..??

I've heard that Reading are trying to sign him on permanent bases. Will update you all.

[BacheLot]

He's in England training.

thats a good sign..!!
i think the Reading is just keeping him on the backburner waiting to see if they can find someone better before opting to sign him as a last resort kinda deal..!
who's his agent? that fool needs to be hard at work looking at alternatives in England and beyond meanwhile..!
i guess he still has Rostov to fall back on if all goes south..!? but he is likely to be riding the pine there is he misses the entire summer chasing a contract elsewhere..!
ftb, he badly needs games to prove his Fitness Levels to perspective suitors.... he probably can't wait for TM coach to be announced so he can show what he can offer.!
