It sucks that Japan beat UAE. I would have preferred Japan beat UAE then lose to Iraq. Iraq's chances of making the World Cup will be small if they lose, but maybe they can have a big upset.
We should call up Osama Rashid for this game, and Amjad Attwan. We need a strong midfielder if Yaser's injured.
Those two should have been in the squad for the first two games. The would be strong additions for the next games. Don't understand why Radhi didn't bring them into the team in the first place.
Ok so i've just seen that rahdi dropped kasim from the squad. I dont understand first he said he wanted him and that he was injured, and now he drops him. There's definitely something going on here. Theres always some sort of drama within this team. No drama no party.
Yesterday Ali Abbas went on a huge rant on Facebook and said that Yaser wasn't injured and was good to play both games. It was a live video where he talked about a lot of issues in the team and I didn't get the chance to watch the whole thing, just bits and pieces so maybe someone else here knows more than me about this. There's is definitely some kind of problem between Yaser and Radhi.
The problem is with Yaser, he's having a few problems personally that is affecting his football, he's also not match fit 100% and when he joined up with the national side he had recovered from a slight groin strain missing a game for his club and when he was training the injury returned even mildly and he was fit to start the Saudi game, overall he was not match fit when he came to Australia
All signs are pointing to him having issues with the coaching staff. All speculation for now. Officially, he was dropped for "technical" reasons, but personally I don't buy it. I think something happened behind the scenes in the build up to the last two games and because of it, Radhi's not calling him up.
Ffs our midfield is a joke without Yaser. I have no hope of the team making it through anymore, our management always seem to be having trouble with certain players . Yasers a humble nice guy plus he's pretty much British don't think he's going to make trouble .
Well he promised Shnaishel to train better and become fit again, so I think the coach did it on purpose. We still got Osama Rashid and Amjad Attwan to call up.
Who cares , all I know is everytime he plays he gives it his all and he's the best midfielder we have
I think it's due to yaser speaking up and not taking shit that's why, these coaches want players that just obey everything even if it's wrong.
A player's job is to play according to the coach's plan. It's not his place to start problems and rebel against the coaches just because he disagrees with their methods.
I dont think him being a rebel is the problem why he was dropped, its his form ask the fans at his club and they will tell you his head is somewhere else he has personal problems i believe its to do with him wanting to move clubs
i wish if iraq cannot win or get a point at least give a good performance against japan even though people are syaing that this is not like the japanese team of old, they are still better than most asian teams and will be difficult to beat or even to get a point
He had no major injuries all of last season and he was completely average all of last season. His poor form is down to a weak mentality, bad attitude and arrogance. He's been average ever since his team lost in wembley, then it got worse for him when he couldn't get a transfer away from Swindon that summer. He feels like he's above playing for Swindon and that he deserves better, but his performances say otherwise. Can't blame his mediocrity on an injury.
