Post by Coach »

France slashed by the Swiss Army knife early doors. Seferovic. Interesting. Very interesting. Now the question of Igwe France is finally asked.

Surprised at the decision to have Varane on the right of the 3 CD formation rather than the center
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Even more surprising, the decision not to go with a midfield three and run the Swiss into the ground.

France look out of sorts off the ball in this formation

Rabiot with a fizzier, not too far wide.

Far too lethargic from the French, for all the “gears” available, it’s eco Drive at present. Low carbon emissions.

Little of what France is doing atm makes sense.

Why does he need 3CDs in this game?

Incredible from Rabiot. First touch of Titus Bramble in a whore house. Pathetic.

Because il s’appelle Monsieur Didier Defensive. The midfield two doesn’t work, Kante cannot play box to box, Pogba forced deeper than the Titanic. What’s worse, Deschamps has watched a third of the game pass by and sees no qualms in it.

All that’s missing from France here is a John Obi slow coaching and big Yak chewing gum. Incredible lethargy worthy of an African Nations cup qualifier.

Rabiot is a sh*t player

Deschamps is an impediment to this team. He will cost them well well

Benzema has been a disappointment

Correction, they’ve all been atrocious. The laziness borders on offensive.

If Igwe is eliminated, perhaps then the naysayers will concur, “it’s coming home”.

Both he and Digne are injured, hence initially going with Rabiot out there, and playing with 3 at the back to help cover for Rabiot defensively. But clearly didn't work, we'll see how 4 in the back with Kimpembe at LB works...these guys are sleep walking though and need to wakeup.

Never been impressed. Overrated in French colours IMHO.
