We can look back and say this point was valuable,at the end of the group having this point will make a big difference.
The golden rule in this group will win winning your home games.Bahrain couldnt beat us,so they are at a little disadvantage now.We have yet to play at home.
Secondly,we played poorly,but we will get better.Our team was attacking in the lineup but we became satisfied with 1 point from the second half onwards.
Bahrain is much much better than some of you actually thought/think.
Finally,Ali Karimi has been out of shape and form for 4 months now,as I and some others have said.Some of you think he is taking it easy in Dubai but that anytime he puts the Iran jersey he can move up 4 gears.It doesnt work that way.He looks completely out of shape,his body looks too heavy.
Branko,hmm,I think he was going for a win,but not at all costs and was more interested in not losing.So the priority was not losing,but try to win.Second half we pulled back completely.Even if we were going for a draw,our players were still poor,too many misplaced passes,unneccessary dribbles by Karimi,losing the ball,etc from all others.
Thank God Yahya,and Rahman were solid today,esp Yahya.
