I don't think you understood my point at all. At one day Iran can play
Jahanbakhsh---------- Gucci-------------- Dejagar
---------------------- Shojaei---------------
another day
Dejagar ---------------Gucci------------------------- Jahanbakhsh
------------------------Shojaei-----------------------------------
If one player is injured Khalat bari can be used. Ansarifar for Gucci and Khalatbari for the rest. This gives so many combinations. And the bench is therefor quiet rich for 3 games. At one half DJ can play left another half right. With good knowlege of Nigerian player CQ may decide where to use him best. Hadadifar is a good sub for Ando.
Yes I also wish we had players like Brezil but for our mission to go to next round our bench is OK. If Messi was not fit how good was argentine? What if Edin Djekov get 2 yellow card before their third game against us? We won't be so badbakht if Jahanbakhsh or dejagar
had two yellows.
LOL Shojaei as a striker, you don't even seem to know where our players can and can't play. I remember in another thread you were also saying Ghazi would be a good CAM option for TM. I thought you were being sarcastic, but now i know you were being serious.
I don't even think you are understanding the point you are trying to put across..
The only difference between your lineups is Jahanbanks and Dejagah playing different wings
(and you also used the same exact players?) someone call Argentina and Bosnia coach and tell them quickly, Jahanbakhs and Ashkan can switch wings, just hand us the 3points. Where is the
richness in that? We lost the midfield battle against Guinea because we missed Ando, Hadadifar even though he had a good game he is nowhere near the ability to replace Ando and that was clear against an AVERAGE Guinea
(now what do u think Nigeria will do to us?). Hadadifar is a good replacement for Nekounam maybe, but for Ando, no. We were a completely different team in midfield without 1 single player, now imagine if we missed Hosseini in that game also. We would have been massacred. We are
incapable of replacing our key players, simple as that.
Dude, you need to understand something. If Argentina or Bosnia were to miss a couple of key players they replace them in their endless pool of players that play week in week out in top European leagues. Against a team like Iran its not going to matter if Argentina doesnt have Messi or Bosnia doesn't have Dzeko. It really won't. Dzeko doesnt play, then Ibisevic will. Maybe against a different team missing Dzeko will make a difference, but against a utterly weak Iran side. No. Hell Argentina can play with their bench and still beat us 4-0.
But for a team like Iran, only way we are going to have an effect in Brazil is whether you like it or not to have every single key player we have fit and ready
(we can barely rely on our starting 11 getting to the second round, hala your putting faith in our bench). We are well and truly badbakht when you consider Ansarifard a
good replacement for Gucci. Specially for a team that is going to go to Brazil with the intentions of defending with their lives
(yes, we will be defending with our lives), our defensive depth is even worse then our attacking depth. So, even in that area we are even more badbakht.
Like 2006,
if, our key players are not fit and ready, this will be an even uglier campaign then i am already expecting it to be based on the kind of preparation we are having. And in 2006 we had even better legionnaires playing in better leagues/teams and getting more playing time then the players we have now all playing for relegation/2nd division sides.
Wake up and smell the flowers, even Nigeria's bench has twice the depth and options then us. It will take a miracle for us to reach the 2nd round, let alone our
"amazing" bench filled with unfit sosools from the IPL.
