This was just so embarrassing (Korea-Iran)

[peiman92]

well heres my thoughts,

1. Appreciate Beiranvand. If he got cut for that misstake, well he should be given next game after Abedzadehs horrible 1-0 goal, plus unsecure play. he was nearly scored on twice on the high balls from the flanks as the korean players just missed the ball once and one time didnt hit the goal. Abedz was wrongly positioned. on his great double save, the whole situation was his faut after him just popping up in the field instead of just staying in goal and recieving a pass back.. ''

Bring back Beiranvand, eaven in poor form, we wouldnt se all this misstakes from him.

2. Dont bash Shoja again, he had a great game until he got injured.

3. Man of Match by far: Kaanani - what a great player!!!! Irans Pepe excent he is not violent..

4. nr 8, nourollahi missed so many passes

5. Sardar should have been subbed of after 60 minutes. he looked heavy in the steps, like he is under heavy training to compensate russian pree season he missed.. and he looked gassed and didnt help out in the defence either. probably his most uninspired game yet but I believe its because he probably is under heavy fitnesprogram with Leverkusen and coach shouldnt played him 90 minutes, it felt like we played with 10.2 players (sardar counting as 0.2)


6. Hajisafi should have passed Gholizadeh, what a missed oppertunity in the first minutes..

7. Coaching of Sko: well he had 6 players gone so I wont bash to much. in periods before korea took over and outplayed us, our defence looked pretty good. after shoja injurie and abedzadehs rembrandt he tryed. only thing i would have liked is that he subbed out azmoun asap. eaven in first half he was so poor and running like he had been lifting weights all morning with his legs that he could have taken him out at 45 minute..

8. Congratulations Korea! finaly got the revenge AND STILL DIDNT GRASSROLL. - I have respect for this team!

9. Now we can put aside Pot 2 speculations..

10. 0 shots at goal!

10. If its any consulatulation: Australia is now going to play in playoff and missed directspot

The only consolation would be firing Skocic ass. This type of performance isn’t something new, it’s been going on for his whole tenure. The only differences this time were:

1. No star players to save his ass.
2. We lost the game, which made people stop looking the other way.

It’s time to accept reality and make the right decision, we all now what that is.
It should have been done in November, but better late than never.

I watched the game again! Every time we pressed the Koreans in their half, they got nervous and lost the ball. But our players decided to retreat to our own half and defend there and rely on long useless balls for Sardar who hardly touched the ball.

This tactic is garbage and we have lost so many games because this. We need to be a bit braver and take the game to the opponent.

Korea biggest weakness is their defensive line! This is pretty obvious from our encounters with them in WCQ 2014. Unfortunely TM failed to press them systematically and consistently to provoke errors. Instead we choose a LineUp with some oldies like Haysafi and Amiri who can't keep up with the pace of Koreans. Players like Sardar, Sayyadmannesh and even Karim could have pressure the Koreans much more effectively. My biggest issue is not that we have lost this game, but the way we have lost. We gave the Koreans to much respect ( even in our home game in Azadi), just sitting back and hope not to concede. Given our great results that we had achieved against them in recent games, one would expect TM to play with much more self-confidence.

When we received the ball in our own half, we couldn't transmit into the attack, because all of our players came back into our own half. There was no station upfront to pass the ball to, so players need to dribble and loose the ball or perform bekesh ziresh a la aliasghari. We had the same issue under CQ, when we played to defensively and force our attacking line to drop into our own half.

I agree Shoja had a good game today, but that's certainly not been the case in the games prior.. I'm hoping he continues to do well, but he needs to string together 3-4 consistent good games (like Kanaani) before we can stop bashing him.

[Karimi 8]

I said this in another thread, but it has become very clear that our weakness is our wide defenders and a high-press. If our opponent implement these strategies, we have no ball carriers / effective passers to escape from those positions. So we just in turn rely on a bezan ziresh panic pass to Azmoun / Taremi. This may work against teams like Lebanon, UAE, Iraq, etc, but isn't going to work in the World Cup.
We need some friendly matches to try to sort this out, or else, we have zero chance at this stage to get out of our group.

Chill guys these games are considered freindlies

That's a poor way to look at it. We need to look at every game like it's a derby regardless if we have qualified or not.. All about having good work ethic. If we treat these games like friendlies, then we will have a lazy mindset.

[Philosophy_King]

I saw one of the koreans do a military solute when subbed off. This was like a derby for them.

Korea vs Iran is like the "El Classico" of Asia. Even in Friendlies both Teams leave it all on the pitch and try to be victorious at all cost.

[The]

The problems today were nothing new. They've been there for most games of the qualifying, but we just ignored them "because at the end of the day only the results matter".

Well there you go... a team that can't handle a above average pressing game. a team where most players are standing still off the ball, a team where you can fly a 747 through the gap between the midfield and defender, a team where players are constantly getting in each others way and huddling in the box on defence and offence.

I really hope this humbles the coach, the players and federation a bit, but I think if they weren't humbled by nearly losing to Lebanon, and scraping by with 1-0 wins against low level asian teams, I don't think this will be the wake up call either. They'll just blame Mehdi and JB missing and think we can continue like this into the WC.

On positive note, take some pride on how long we'd been undefeated by Korea. We truly are a powerhouse of Asian football.

I'm not a PP supporter either but I always thought it's safer if 20-40 ranking national team goalkeepers are playing in their domestic league, especially if with players they know in front of them.
