Benzema found himself too isolated during the match, granted he was being blanketed by Chivu, Romania's best player, as well as the rest of the back 4 so difficult for the Madrid player. I am not sure if Blanc needs to think about playing 2 strikers or if time will make it easier for KB.<br /><br />I completely agree on Evra and Ribery, the more success the team has the further away these two players might find themselves from being included. Clearly if Ribery recovers from injury and starts putting together some great games and if Evera does likewise for ManU it will be a good problem for Blanc, but there is no guarantee that either will get back into the side.<br /><br />Clearly the team is building something, the fact the team that walked out onto the pitch averaged 25 years of age is very telling.GFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528949404489200110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295776.post-64827526046403878392010-10-11T00:32:01.193-04:002010-10-11T00:32:01.193-04:00I don't think France ever topped the group at ...I don't think France ever topped the group at all in the world cup qualification.

The only glaring faults I might cite, apart from the inability to score earlier (although, yes, all credit to the Romanian 'keeper), is that Benzema often kept the ball too long and too high, which left a void at center forward, and Clichy's couple of screwups. Gael can learn, but I'm not sure about KB. I also would have liked to see a Nasri-Gourcuff pairing, and think we might against Luxembourg (does Nasri switch to the right wing or do one of the DF's come off?) Lastly, I'm thinking that bringing back either Ribery or Evra risks compromising a squad with promise and potential.rkhavkinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320293478667067192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295776.post-84326156754605025052010-10-10T22:53:12.835-04:002010-10-10T22:53:12.835-04:00Thank you my friend!
