TM played like shit indeed!
Why didn't Majid Hosseini play?!! I never thought Khalilzadeh was TM material and he proved it today. It's not only that he's not adjusted with Kanaanizadegan but it certainly shows he hasn't been training under CQ much and doesn't know/follow his defensive tactics.
Kanaanizadegan himself isn't that comforting as a main central defender. Against Iraq and Bahrain, we must have the "Hosseini-Pouraliganji" duo back!
Other than that we sucked big time. I don't know how we could let a Syrian team, missing their 2 main strikers, have so many shots at our goal. We were very lucky not to receive any goals today! Our goals (beside Ansarifard's) were not that impressive either. The ball ended up in their goal with a little luck. Skocic needs to address these issues!
All in all, I have a feeling the game against Bahrain will not end up in our advantage.
You guys realize they will play a friendly game against Ukraine in a month time? I don't think we have any friendlies until the WCQ games. Not even against B-teams of the likes of Sierra Leone.
