Totally agree with this, honestly sharza looks class judging from the training sessions I've seen. Start with him upfront with pace on the wings as well, really get at Vietnam. Then to change things around throw in amani to hold up the ball. We need to destroy Vietnam to pick up some momentum. Who knows, the only two hard games we have are Jordan, IFFF we can hold them up for a draw on the home fixture we can win this group. Or atleast qualify!!!!
Bit annoyed the camera broadcast wasn't professionally, didn't even know who was who. Hopefully the Vietnam game will be better. No suprise noor was a class above everyone else. Future captain? Most likely.
Good to see we beat Singapore and got some momentum. I am still concerned with the central defence position as we don't have natural defenders in that position at the moment (playing midfielders in there) short term solution but long term we need to start investing in defenders. AFF need to select a national team domestic of all age and u23 to play and train all year round.
I like our chances against Vietnam. It will be a tougher match but we will be playing at altitude at night in relatively cold weather. This game is a must win.
It will be a close encounter, Afghanistan need to keep composure and not get ahead of themselves. Vietnam last played Singapore in 2016 and drew 0-0. I did like the fact Pfister opted for Taher in defence. Azizi Amin Taher Sharif nadjem Alikhil Noor N.Amiri Shayesteh Azodzoy Amani Reward Azodzoy for his goal, and let's keep the same team which did well against Singapore.
My lineup didnt include Milad Salem, I think it would be best that he comes on as a sub, given he came into camp late and needs to adjust to the climate.
I don't know what Pfister is thinking. Why change the starting XI when they did nothing wrong against Singapore? Also not a fan of Zubayr starting over Amani.

actually it looks like the game will be on lemar instead. Hope you guys can understand Pashto! http://www.afghanlive.tv/lemar-tv/
Benjamin has been a bit of a liability and we are missing Noor in the middle. Sadly I havent been able to hear the crowd since im watching the game in starbucks
