I was a Toulalan doubter at one point, but he’s doing so well now that I’m a little embarrassed.

I thought the whole attack was passive and static apart from Teary. Benzema’s pathetic faint-hearted passes/ Gourcuff showed some poor touches and tried too much to be a Zidane (seriously flopped except for couple of good controls, the roulettes, and other Zizouesque turn failed), but he got assists (second one was a failed shot which was rolled in by henry), I think he should forget the comparisons and play to his ability than trying too much. Ribery showed some promise, but he too seemed so selfish and didn’t contribute to the team. Toulalan is hardworking, unrelenting, and master of midfield!

Overall, there is lot to improve by the whole team. Looked vulnerable against a poor side! If Domenech plays Boumsong again, shoot the c**t point blank! I hope he is sacked by the next game.
