Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ Feyenoord Rotterdam | 2021-2022

He had two good chances and the GK saved them well.

Decent first half from him. First 15-20 minutes he wasn't that good offensively. Couple of sloppy back passes/turnover, and of course the obligatory unnecessarily fast through balls that not even Usain Bolt could catch up to.

As the half went on he got more careful, made better passes, and had some nice dribbles. He had two shots on target, the first one of which was after he pulled off a filthy nutmeg.

Also as always his defensive effort just keeps getting better. Manhandling attackers and dispossessing them.

Would say he is probably his team's best player in the first half (although the bar is pretty low for this match).

I know football is a team sport, but his lack of goals is alarming for a winger with AC, WC, PL experience and former top scorer title in Eredivisie. Especially since many games so far have been against mid-table / lower Eredivisie teams.

Feyenoord won 1-0 with 95 min winner by Dessers
JB need to score in league, it has been 11 weeks, soon or later he will lose his spot

He probably ends up at his former club NEC in couple years.

Because NEC is a super small team that can't afford AliReza. His first periode their was possible because of a wealthy entrepreneur named Marcel Boekhoorn & because some 'trick' they pulled with a student status of AliReza ; - )

I think one thing Alireza and us fans have to be realistic about is the fact that the Dutch league is his ceiling at this point. I know there was some talk of him asking for a lower release clause in case a top 4 league team wanted to sign him, but from what I have seen of him since the start of the season, there's no indication he will ever get back to his 2016-2018 form and be swept up by a bigger club. I kind of fooled myself into thinking that as he gets more playing time he will continue to improve, but I think what we see from him over the past month is more or less what we will see from him before old age catches up to him in 5 years or so.

With that said, Feyenoord is not a terrible spot to play your last 2-3 "peak" seasons in. More or less guaranteed a European competition every season, and the vibes seem right.

Still too early to say, ARJ is a slow starter everywhere. We will be able to tell if Feyenoord is his ceiling in his 2nd season.

I watched the first half and IMO he had decent game. He had two shoots which both were saved by the GK. Remember that Feyenoord are doing pretty well this season, 4th place, 4 games to top with a game less. I'm not saying it's because of ARJ but he's definitly contributing factor.

let's just appreciate he's back in NL and getting playing time.

Too early to judge. Give him half a season to settle in.
