i just saw Henry with a green jersey in half time.
Did he start with Anelka and not Henry ? :wtf:
How many strikers up front in the french squad? |

| Anelka and Benzema upfront. Henry hasn't come in yet. |
|

| noikeee |
And now Anelka is replaced by... Gomis. :wtf:
Seems like Henry is now their 4th option for a striker, lol. Maybe he has physical problems or something. |

Watching this game strengthens my belief that Domenech is an idiot of a coach. Why were France playing two defensive midfielders against Romania? Everyone knew the Romanians would sit behind the ball and be defensive, so why he needed the cover of two defensive midfielders baffles me. And then, when France needed some creation, he brings on Nasri for a striker! After 75 minutes you'd think it'd become clear that Makelele and Toulalan weren't needed and one could go off for a creative player. He also played Abidal, who did -all, over Evra who would have attacked down the left at every opportunity.
On the other hand, Romania actually look pretty strong. They have some good talent with Mutu, Chivu, Dica and so forth, and defensively they were rock solid. They might really complicate this group. |

Well, France were pretty much playing a 4-2-4 except the guys that were wingers in theory, were helping the midfield. You can't really play this tactic with a single defensive midfielder, the midfield becomes far too weak. A good alternative would have been a 4-4-2 diamond... without one of the wingers and one of the DMs, entering Nasri and another midfielder.
I agree with you on Evra. Cosmin Contra could've been a fairly dangerous player down that romanian right wing but he really didn't do anything and placing Abidal there to stop him proved to be unnecessary.
France has had a big tactical problem for a while, and it didn't start with the replacement of Zidane, remember they were a bit lost at the beginning of the world cup as they couldn't find a way for all those players to fit.
And yes, Romania aren't bad at all. I've been saying since the beginning that in another group, they could be a surprise. Don't think they are going through but Holland and Italy will have problems against them. |
