anelka, escude, fanni, sissiko, evra, sagna, govou, diaby, mandanda, and a.diarra

<—in
flamini, ciani, bodmer, marveaux, corchia, gouffran, chantome, mathieu, clerc, and gomis(he sgould get another chance)

i mean should

Out since last time:

Loïc Remy and (HOLY CRAP!!) Yoann Gourcuff, who has a thigh injury.

crrapppppppppppppppp no gourc thats TERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE

in the defense id like to see clerc

and I would play Flamini
I hope he doesnt play Adiarra and Diaby and sissoko and malouda and govou

This is not gonna work peeps, the only consistent peeps here are ribery, toulalan, henry, evra

Btw Is Nasri also still broken-legged?

we’ll probably win from faroe
but draw or lose from austria

I’m really worried about not having gourcuff

I do not think we need to worry too much about no Gourcuff for the upcoming 2 games, all Les Bleus need is to beat Faroe Islands and they lock down the 2nd spot (currently 4 points ahead of Austria) so that last game will mean nothing, assuming Serbia holds serve. I do think that not having Gourcuff could be bad in preparation for what appears to be an upcoming 2nd place play off – http://tinyurl.com/create.php – my rant about that.

As for Nasri, he remains side lined although should be back soon enough.

I do think that Sissoko, Diaby, Fanni, Sagna, Evra and Mandanda deserve their spots on the team. Sagna is arguably the best right back in England, Evra is one of the best left backs. Fanni is solid cover for Sagna. Sissoko I think is the rightful heir to Vieira, he is a true “box to box” midfielder. Diaby, who when healthy, is a versatile midfielder, a poor man’s Vieira, and a natural left footed player. Mandanda deserves his spot based on his prior matches. As for why Domenech is carrying 4 keepers, Lloris is suspended for the first match so I am sure Domenech feels he needs cover if one of his eligible keepers is injured.

I do agree that Flamini needs to get another look, although he does not show regularly in Milan. Mathieu, to me, has never shown the potential he demonstrated at Sochaux. Gomis should get another chance but I think his style does not fit with Domenech, Gomis is more like Trezeguet.

Let us not panic, Les Bleus should find themselves in a 2nd place play off, not ideal, but still have a chance.

Thanks GFC
i think Frey and Loris is our Best GK.

Anelka-Benzema up front

in the future PLEASE MR DOMENECH

? i like frey but that will not happend i think we need a new option other than mandanda of llioris

sagna gallas toulalan evra
diarra
gorcuff ribery
henry
Anelka saha

I completely agree that Frey is our #1! Too bad Domenech does not see it that way.

good thing we are only playing the Faroes and Austria without Gourcuff, although Austria could actually get a win…again.

@GFC
i don’t agree
sagna is not the best rb in england, and evra makes too many defensive errors, fanni is awful, sissoko is not good enough,and mandanda is the wost gk ever, i don’t know why his in the french team.

Hmmm, Michel-Olivier, who would be a better right back in England? Belleti for Chelsea? Brown for ManU? Richards for City? Gary Neville? Glen Johnson for Liverpool? Johnson might be more a threat offensively, Neville might have been a better right back 10 years ago, Richards has plateaued a bit, Brown is decent, Belleti is nice, but none are head and shoulders above Sagna. I would agree that Evra does make some defensive lapses, and I think that Clichy could very well start at left back, but Evra brings more offensive punch than does Clichy. Fanni is very solid for Rennes. Sissoko is young granted, but very talented, watch how he runs the Toulouse midfield as for Mandanda, not sure I am ready to say he is the worst GK ever, that is a bit of a strong statement. I think his primary flaw is that he has not been able to translate his performance for OM to Les Bleus.

Clerc has shown signs of greatness, but he often injured and at times was not even the clear #1 for his club. I do like your idea of having just one holding midfielder, but that should be LDiarra, I think he would do a better job linking with the attack.

Good stuff.

Ouch Ribery out – http://thebeantownfrog.blogspot.com/2009/10/now-things-get-interesting-ribery-out.html

@GFC beanfrog: your too optimistic
@Michel-Ollie: your too pessimistic

————toulalan———–
ribery—–gourcuff—–Nasri
—–benzema——-henry——

:D:D:D::D

D’oh! I forgot about Lloris’ suspension. I think I blocked it from my memory.

Would you believe I’m actually not 100% sure about a win against the Faroes. They’ve learned to capitalize on their strengths, i.e. very physical, defensive play. Not that I expect to lose, but we had a hard time scoring against them last time, and I’m not 100% sure this time will be different.
