Do you think we will make it to the World Cup 2022 ?

[M.U.F.C]

What do you think? When we have Gholizadeh, Ghoddos and Torabi (who is much better suited as a cam than winger) for this position, how many Asian national football teams can claim they have this talent level for any position, starting from the goalkeepers to the defenders, midfielders and forwards. Only one or two national teams at best. No sir, we have the talent, but we need a good coaching staff coupled with a good preparation.

What do you think about changung the formation to 3-5-2? I feel 3-5-2 may work better for us.

How about CAM? Do not we have a huge problem in the CAM role?

I do not like/trust Beiranvand as number one anymore. Shojaei, Rezaeian, and Ansarifard should be dropped from the squad.

[M.U.F.C]

yeah if we play shojaei we are playing with 10 men. If we play ghoddos or gholizadeh we have a more than adequate CAM. Really ghoddos should be one of first names on the team sheet. If we need to mix it up for whatever reason gholizadeh has played CAM excellently this season, see away vs Club brugge where he put in a ton of defensive work too.

Masoud Shojaei should have been retired long time ago.

No we don't, Ebrahimi, Ezatolahi, Nourolahi and Hajsafi are more than decent by Asian standards. What we need is a good coach and friendly matches/good preparation for the qualifiers.

We have a huge problem in the CDM role. I mean even if you exclude Haji Safi and Ebrahimi, all we have left is Ezzatollahi. Ali Karimi is overrated and I don't know how Cheshmi is doing these days. but frankly those are all the players we have who are internationally experienced. Unless Skocic discovers a young talent who can really step up, We're gonna have problems against Iraq (specially) and Bahrain. Having said that, the home advantage usually makes all our players to step up so I am quite optimistic for this round's games. but to for the next round, he really needs to do something about our midfield.

Shojaei definitely needs to quit. New fresh blood needs to be injected in TM to train with the rest of the players even if they don't get playing time. Allahyar Sayyadmanesh (despite his recent lack of form) can be an option. It may mentally do him good and help him to get back in form.

If Iran wants to be in Qatar 2022, then it must play professionally.

You don't say?

That is why I asked questions from you guys about Reza Asadi and Omid Noorafkan.

You missed Nourollahi.

[Sly]

Yes definitely.

I think Skocic will prepare us adequately for Bahrain. We created chances under Wilmots against Bahrain but lost the midfield skirmishes because our midfield was Hajsafi and Ebrahimi. Hopefully he fixes this.

Against Iraq, the Iraqis very smartly disrupted play whenever they could and forced our players to lose the ball to a press. Then they kept stopping the play.

Skocic needs to find a way to correct that gameplan. Hopefully excluding Shojaei and bringing ARJ back will be a good start

Dont u ever tink

[perspolis#1]

I'm not so worried about Cambodia and Hong Kong. We will win against them with ease. I'm more worried about Iraq and Bahrain. We need to win all our games to make sure to qualify to the next round. We have the advantage of home games against both of them so that's good. But Skocic needs to make sure we win against them convincingly. Cause even if we qualify to the next round, much stronger teams await us there. Hopefully he's busing watching games and taking notes these days.

[PSGman#19]

For once, the world knows the situation of Iran with the lack of friendlies, test match. I think we may deal the situation better than our opponents.
Specially we have a lot of legionnaires that will keep training with their euro clubs.

The question is whether we will have important players injuried for the qualifiers

[Sly]

LOL.

That definitely sounds CQ like.

Admittedly I do not follow PGL as closely as others but I believe Skocic will overload Hong Kong and Cambodia like any sensible coach would at this stage.

Then he'll work on an attacking strategy to create chances while giving adequate defensive cover.
