Domenech once again surprises everyone

We are moments away from a huge World Cup qualifier for Les Bleus against Lithuania...and once again the "genius" that is Domenech springs one on us. Here is the starting line up -

Mandanda - Sagna, Squillaci, Gallas, Evra - Toulalan, L. Diarra - Luyindula, Gourcuff, Ribéry - Henry.

Um...ok. The Squillaci - Gallas combo is not a huge surprise since all week it appeared that Mexes was once again relegated to the bench even though the Roma player had two decent outings with Les Bleus. What is really a head scratcher is Luyindula on the left. Um, uh okay. Now I like the PSG player and I think he has some of the skills to unblock the wing for Les Bleus...however I do not think that he should be ahead of Henry or Nasri on the flank. This move reminds me too much of a Gouvou move for Domenech, maybe Peguy is his new Binky. Maybe some astrology has told Domenech to make this move and Luyindula will entertain us with a brace...one can dream.

I am also a bit disappointed that Domenech does not try something a bit different, put a more offensive midfielder on the shoulder of Diarra, such as Diaby. This would give more offensive punch and with the tall Diaby allow France to better defend on the one area I fear against Lithuania - set pieces.

Part of me hopes that France loses and Domenech gets the ax....again one can dream
