afc FINALLY!!!

[Guest Mike Kane]

I told you before the euros but nooooooooooooo u wanted 2 argueAnelka & Henry4-4-2win the 3 games and progress but u and ur mate Raymond didnt listen n look what happened..Nun of dese Govu's & Benzema's

TBH, if you watched the game, you'd know France could've got f*cked up.It ain't even a formation ting because France could be just as dangerous playing 4-4-2 & 4-5-1 but stupid personnel choices and a lack of good general management.You wanna talk about Henry & Anelka? LMAO. Henry played sh*t but got a goal & fair play Anelka got a important goal but neither of 'em are France's saviours. They've been nothing short of lethargic for France since 2002 (point more aimed towards Henry). Anelka is too hot & cold...It's well known that Domenech doesn't like Algerians and to be honest, had France got to the quarter-finals at the very least, Domenech wouldn't be start Karim. Benzema starting is a political decision same way he started Mexes & has Evra/Clichy start ahead of Abidal at LB.

Against who exactly? Lol...

[Seth Rollins]

Anyone with a STRONG midfield and ONE decent striker who actually "turn up".

[TF S4DK]

No Henry, lmao.

[Frank Furta]

Warnock better than Clichy.. is that an attention seeking post or what?

[Guest Mike Kane]

No Henry, lmao.

See the same Henry who we sold in 2006/2007? Why would I want him playing for France too?

[gattsu]

lol anelkaswear this is the same guy that said rvp was on the same level as doyle n litalmao

[TF S4DK]

Cos France isn't Arsenal.None of them man score at international level, infact some of them are hardy even cutting it at international level, allow dropping the guy that at least produces something, even if its a shadow of his former Arsenal self.

Ask anyone who's watched France consistently since Euro 2004 (I'm being soft, I really should take it back to 2002) and ask them if he's put in anything CLOSE to a GREAT performance for France.And who said it was about scoring in particular? Because TBH, if Trezeguet was catered to in the same way Henry has, then he'd have alot more goals. Want to know how I'm so sure? When Trezeguet & Henry were the starting strikers, Trezeguet was always ahead of Henry goal-wise.Anyway, Henry playing for France is like Raul playing for Spain. Need to bring in Benzema, make him the main man by himself up top with Ribery & Ben Arfa on the flanks and when we need to play two strikers, bring in Anelka.

[Guest Mike Kane]

BTW, the reason I likened the whole Arsenal/France situation was not so much to do with Henry himself, but his effect on the other players.

Toulalan is more of a deep lying play maker so you'd need someone more robust than nasri along with flamini otherwise would get banged on the counter attackbut not a bad idea still

I personally think Flamini could do the job still. The idea behind that midfield trio is similar to that played at Arsenal when we had Flamini/Fabregas & Hleb in the middle with Hleb drifting.Diarra could come in for Flamini if need be & Yohan Gourcuff could come in for Nasri. Gourcuff actually played in that on Wednesday and had a very good game...

But the difference to Arsenal with a 5 last season, to that 5 would be none of the wingers track back or is defensive like Eboue.

Meh. Henry is France's best striking option, he just shouldnt be untouchable in the managers mind. Arsenal with Henry last season would have won games they lost & drew.

pretty much what i'm thinkingone deep lying play maker and a box to box mid and nasri would be too brittle if you play wingers that dont track back also i really dont rate Gourcuff never looked good at all for milan rather see menez

Well Ribery is currently injured.

ohh shitpmslllllllllllllllll

[Guest Mike Kane]

I'm well aware Ribery is injured, I named that team with all players fit as my best 11.Reuben, Gourcuff can has the potential to be a VERY good player. Milan did him wrong, he's been loaned to Bordeaux and he played well the other week and on our game Wednesday just gone.Can't believe I forgot about Menez still.*slaps forehead*
