Disco Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Looks like containment attempt. Bad craic considering the quality of players they have. Gonna be a massive onus on Benzema and Ribery to sort shit out upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I hope Spurs do end up with Blanc like. What a dour, negative cunt. I can only imagine he's even more boring when you actually speak French. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Ah this is a proper park job, with the hope that Debuchy and Revelliere will take advantage of what 2 v 1's they get as will Ribery and Clichy on the other side and as pointed out relying heavily on Ribery and Benzema to carry the attack.

Gonna be a massive onus on Benzema and Ribery to sort shit out upfront. Which is odd, because Benzema has been dropping incredibly deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 If France do park the bus then they will lose. Their defense sucks and the only chance they have of progressing is to go at Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 L'Equipe has this France starting XI v Spain: Lloris; Réveillere, Rami, Koscielny, Clichy, M'Vila, Cabaye, Malouda, Debuchy, Ribéry, Benzema http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Un-onze-tres-defensif/293533 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Seeing that system again i think i know what Blanc's doing ( its annoying defensive but i see it) the idea of Ribery off Benzema and Debuchy and Malouda on the wings smacks of basically copying what Bilic did against Spain... i.e. double up in wide areas, place Ribery on Busquets, get M'vila and Cabaye to deal with Alonso and Xavi and quite frankly we all saw how well that worked for Croatia. Benzema will need to understand he's not a freaking midfielder though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think this is gonna be France's like. Spain topped a not so difficult group a weakened Italy (when compared with previous years) and an alright Croatia side. Ireland were a joke like. In my 'John Humble' Spain's style of football is being somewhat found out in a sense that it can be countered and without Villa and Puyol don't look half as good this time around. France came second in a piss easy group too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Pedro provides a more attacking outlet than David Silva and can play on the last man http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThB4_FZ9Y9DjdN52TL3nHZjJsq02QhVL9xd11_98OlIeIyGIphSLz3jfw7Zw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
