Le President announced that his keeper from Bordeaux will get the nod this Thursday against Poland. Not a big surprise at all; however, after a poor goal given up against Ukraine, I am beginning to question whether or not the hierarchy in goal is written in stone. Mandanda has had a great season for OM, but I feel as if his latest showing for France puts him a bit on shaky ground. What about the likes of Landreau with LOSC? Or Ruffier at Monaco?
Lloris remains the #1 choice but I would not close the door on looking at picking 2 from the 4 keepers: Mandanda, Carrasso, Ruffier and Landreau for the other spots.
Welcome to the "Frog," my little piece of cyberspace to talk about my passion - le foot (or soccer for my North American friends) especially anything around French football. Of course I will have some guest contributors that might want to discuss other aspects of footy! I support Les Bleus, Arsenal and PSG but really just love watching, analyzing and following the beautiful game. "You have to trust your teammates, always. If not we are lost."

I feel like Blanc should try to get Frey to join the team. He never really got a good chance under Domenech. Let's just hope Lloris never gets injured...
Oh I completely agree on Frey, I always thought he got the short end of the stick under Domenech.
I am not sure if he remains an option. He is not old, 31 year old keepers are not considered old. But just not sure he would be the clear #1 ahead of Lloris so why would he want to come back?
However I would agree with you, no reason to close the door on him and you never know with injuries...
