This was just so embarrassing (Korea-Iran)

[AGC]

It may have been motivational issues. Fatigue. Coaching slips or whatever.

The key issue is we cannot draw conclusions based on one game, it is mathematically an incorrect thing to do.

Thing is: football is a capital-intensive sport. We need the money to invest in friendlies and stuff like that to be able to evaluate properly what the issues are. And budget we don't have. And there we have it: the key issue is the federation, not coaches etc.

Guys,
I have watched Golami with Esteglal when he was playing Asian club championship games. He played central defense and sucked. Committed penalties and fouls at dangerous spots. He is simply terrible as a defender. He IQ is low. He is one of those dumb players. So it is a mystery for me why he got invited to NT as the last player except that he is part of akhond clan and that was imposed to NT. I can’t see any other reason.

I swear if Ramin wasn't a hot piece of ass, nobody would be mentioning his name as a possible RB option for the national team.
He is not that good of a player, especially defensively.

I'm not a huge fan of Ramin, but did you see Gholami against Korea? Amateur status. I'd rather have Ramin over Gholami any day of the week.

The worst part is that Skocic doesn't really explain his players selection. Someone asked him why he never invites Omid Ebrahimi and Ramin and all he said was that he doesn't like their playing style. WTF does this even mean??

The proof why this coaching staff is incompetent and clueless is the interview of Marijo Tot with Gol Bezan after the first match against Syria. When Arya asked him why he used Jafar Salmani as RB (which had a disgrace performance on that day and got subbed off at HT), Marijo answered that he once played in Europe and they thought that his European experience can help the team LMAOOOOO!!!

But Ramin apparently is worse for some people than the likes of Jafar Salmani. I just can't look forward to the WC anymore. It's really sad that we are in this situation right now.

I share the same concern. Evidently, I was thinking back to that same interview that you're mentioning with Gol Bezan that he invited Salmani because he played in Europe. That logic doesn't apply to other positions like goalkeeper in regard to "European experience" for Marijo Tot?

To be honest, Salmani wasn't that bad of fullback, but he needed to be more aggressive in his approaches which was also one his deficiencies in Portugal.

Hajsafi must have some partibazi.

This guy failed in a lower second division team in Germany, is how old 33-34 now and still play shit since years

lool.... i agree, regardless he looked way outa his depth out there in that match ..! he is young still so hope still for him i suppose? but certainly not as a WB ... looked way too kond for any position requiring bit of agility and speed..!

PS
hajiSooti caused us that embarrassing performance much more so than anyone else on the pitch that day..!! tbh, surprised me even (Perhaps the earliest and biggest critic of having him in TM) how shockingly bad he was performing all over the pitch at SK ... as usual, he seemed to put himself about generally in all the right positions but was getting owned and dominated by koreans all over ..!!

i really think he is now Completely finished and he'd be the Biggest Liability for us if taken with the World Cup ..!!

[BacheLot]

Gholami was set up to fail. Playing out of position, against speedy defenders, first cap for the team. What were people including the coaching staff expecting. Now the poor guy will be clowned for this forever

am I missing something here lol
majority of the people here are saying they want skocic out after one loss and were less than 12 months away from the WC..hows this not a joke ?!

Yes - we might as well try our luck with another coach as it is clear with Skocic we won't do well against any decent or half-decent teams. Unless there are reasons to believe we may..?

[Hosseini]

Guys
I agree with you on Hajsafi. He was never a solid performer.
Also, Golami is a disaster. He has a low IQ for a defender, not fast enough, liability as a defender for sure. I can’t see how A professional coach could ever pick likes of him.

Yep, Skocic out, if we can get an experienced coach. And as we are in the WC i believe we can, if we seek out a coach. Eight months is a long time for a coach to work with the players we have.
