Alberto2005 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 How did Nasri do last night? Any good? Not really. I saw the first 70 minutes and Hatem,Debuchy,Benzema and Menez were probably the best players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ok, cheers! I've got a feeling that the front four against England will be: Benzema Ribery. Ben Arfa Menez Just a hunch... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nasri did what Nasri always does.... links up play, keeps possession well and keeps the moves flowing and didnt take any real risks to effect the game in the attacking third. Although i think Ben Arfa could do a better job than Nasri can in the central role i have a feeling if France go with 4-2-3-1 then Ribery will play on the left, Nasri in the centre and Ben Arfa will battle with Menez for the spot on the right. Whether that's the right decision or not i think that's what Blanc will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that's the right decision or not i think that's what Blanc will do. Andy Brassell seems to think it'll be this also, however with Valbuena or HBA on the right hand side. He also mentions that he'd love to see a 4-4-1-1 with Nasri dropped and Benzema off Giroud but that it is highly unlikely to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Valbuena? wouldnt suprise me as Blanc loves him but he would be an extremely safe option as like Nasri he keeps position well but doesnt really try anything extraordinary to break down defences.... As for the 4-4-1-1 idea i do find it very doubtful but at the same time i wouldnt be suprised to see it used against teams that will play extremely defensively against them i.e group stages.

Guest hatem garrincha Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 i have a feeling if France go with 4-2-3-1 then Ribery will play on the left, Nasri in the centre and Ben Arfa will battle with Menez for the spot on the right. Whether that's the right decision or not i think that's what Blanc will do. I think so. On the right, the battle will be between Valbuena, Ben Arfa and Menez, and Nasri in a 4-4-2, with Giroud. Hatem linked very well with Benzema yesterday, but I thought he tried to play with him too much. At times, he could have tried something else, pass the ball to a partner in a better position than Karim, he had also several occasions of shots or to go alone that he didn't take. Briefly, I found him too "shy". Certainly with the idea of breaking his reputation of "greedy" player (in France) Yesterday was a good opportunity for him to warrant his place definitely in the starting XI and I thought he missed it.

Totally comes into his own there when he's playing with better players if you like. Just his touch and movement is out of this world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
