They are arguably our most in-form players. Why not use them when Kia and Hashemian were obviously lethargic in the first half, and Karimi was atrocious. Is it taboo to substitute our stars. Kia, Daei, Karimi etc... should not feel that the starting spot is their birthright. When they dont perform, we must give chances to our younger players (borhani, mobali, kazemian ) who are hungrier and not that far behind in talent in my opinion.
