Friendly: Iran - Algeria; Info, Updates and Live Reports (12.06.2022)

[Keshwardoost]

strange game, no corners so far..

[Ghermez Agha]

Ebrahimi looking solid so far

[Team Melli Fan]

Aghasi and Hosseini now playing CB, Noorafkan switched to LB
Ebrahimi and Sarlak CDM and Noorollahi CAM
Taremi is lone striker with JB and Gholi on the wings

[Medzdidz]

Calm your beautiful selves people. First football in weeks/month for many of these players in insane heat and humidity.

Solid opponent, above Asia level at least.

Decent tactics.

Very poor individual play from the usuals - noorafkan, moharrami and hajisafi. Ban them from tm.

Then set your tactics up accordingly - slow build up play from the back to control the game due to the heat. Make the opposition chase the ball to tire them.

We potentially don’t have much time to get the issues sorted and a lack of planned friendlies to test out future plans before the World Cup.

Also the boss keeps making the same errors he has made previously before.

[PrinceAli]

We went from CQ to Wiltits and Skocic. How far we’ve fallen…

[inarsenewetrust]

nourollahi with a first touch out of play. I swear ive seen that before?

[Hosseini]

The team looks much better starting the second half truthfully

[The Realist]

We play better when Taremi hassles in the midfield, and not so much around the 18th, same role he plays for Porto

[Hosseini]

Ebrahimi looking solid so far

he is a beast in the MF hope he starts in WC - someone you can trust

[Payam_Ali]

I'd pay good money to never see Hajsafi in a TM jersey again

[DR Strangemoosh]

They can't help it, all they can remember is the latest result.

Results are kinda irrelevant in a friendly - it's the performance and team shape that has many fans tearing their hair out. I'm not sure anyone upset now was less upset in the previous games?

And I would argue that this Algeria without their best forward players is weaker than the one we dominated (possession, shots etc...) in 2018?

[Frank Ocean]

gholizadeh sucks

[Team Melli Fan]

Very little production offensively, especially in the attacking third

[Medzdidz]

I’d like to see Allahyar come on soon for Gholizadeh or ARJ. See how he plays with Taremi.

[Payam_Ali]

Does Nourallahi have two left feet?
