Mole_Toonfan Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I get it - but Iniesta has actually performed brilliantly - Ribery hasn't really lit the f***ing tournament up has he? True, but if they actually performed as a team and not as individuals he would perform a lot better.....Dropping Nasri i understand because there are better players and he's an overrated ego-maniac but Ribery is one of Frances best players if not their best. It would be like us dropping Rooney if he were to perform poorly..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Has Iniesta performed brilliantly? http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2012/teams/player=58031/index.html He got MOTM in 2 of the 3 games. Apart from that he is been an utter joy to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See thats where I don't agree about Ribery, my opinion is that he has all the tools and 0 end product - he also seems to be shit working for the team. But not worthy getting into a discussion over the misfortunes of the French starting lineup But i see what you are saying though mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Has Iniesta performed brilliantly? No he's been f***ing s**** mate. As if they've snuck Nicky Butt onto the pitch instead. No need to get your knickers in a twist mate, no Spanish player has performed brilliantly so far. Iniesta in particular has been outshined by Pirlo and Modric in their respective games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 France should go with the team that beat Ukraine IMO. Love Ben Arfa to bits but Blanc's primary concern should be playing the team he feels will do best together, in terms of pure talent that should include HBA but team harmony needs to be right, especially against a team like Spain. Disappointed Hatem has thrown the toys out, it's going to do him no favours in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just caught up with this, so it sounds like the clash of the infamous French egos has struck again. They can play it down all they like but this will damage France's morale. I now expect them to lose heavily to Spain () About Ben Arfa's role in this whole thing, can't say I blame him too much (still somewhat at fault like). Unfortunately, an ego clash is always going to be inevitable with this generation of French players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 They need a(nother) huge revamp on that squad. Everyone agrees that Nasri is a complete douche and tbh, he's replaceable in that squad. A joke that Cabaye didn't start, he's been great in the tournament. Let's see the mini titans Valbuena and Martin against Spain. French are gonna lose regardless.

Guest hatem garrincha Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ben Arfa since one year : "I have matured", "I have changed" , "I don't fight anymore"...blah, blah... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ben Arfa since one year : "I have matured", "I have changed" , "I don't fight anymore"...blah, blah... And...? He apparently didn't fight, he took the side of the coach. As for Ben Arfa, he moved to the coach - but away from his teammates, to have been released while others, he said, had a lower yield. Boghossian says: "There was no clash between Hatem Ben Arfa and Laurent Blanc. Both were explained. They put the record straight and they shook hands. There is no worry at this level.

Iniesta in particular has been outshined by Pirlo and Modric in their respective games He was the best player on the pitch against Italy. Didn't see the Croatia game. He dallied on the ball so much against Croatia that it seemed like he was showing off for the sake of it. Can't deny his exceptional ball control but he was greedy as owt. Made up for it with a clever run and assist for Navas' goal, but i wasn't blown away by his performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 He was brilliant against Italy though. I thought Italy were the better team - or atleast better to watch - but Iniesta was far and away the best player on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
