Oh, you. There’s no need to be spiteful.

Et il est beau

DEAR FRANCE

YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING THAT IS GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU AT EURO 2012 AND RIBERY WILL BE THE CAUSE A LA 2010 

LOVE 

VEET 

PS: Franck you can do this in a friendly but bottle it when it comes to Finals?

Muppet 

eh i wouldnt say peripheral, like he’s played most of their league games and hasnt been bad really. i think it’s just that he understands his place in the pecking order at city ie keep ball in final 3rd and make it easier for silva to be amazing

he has just been adequate and nothing more but in France he is still seen as a genius due to his promise at Marseilles

Silence from the French Crowd

Do you think they realise it wasn’t all Gourcuff?

nasri isnt really a playmaker is he? he keeps the ball well and keeps things ticking along but not exactly a creative mind. actually blanc could probably do a passable imitation of the city set up with nasri as nasri with gourcuff as silva…maybe :s

People seem to forget how peripheral  Nasri has been in City’s success. He did well at Arsenal as he could pair up with Van Persie or Fabregas. You are right he is not a creative midfielder but a decent central midfielder. 

I am just glad that we will not be the worst side in our group!!

Do you think Marvin Martin is definitely not going, or is he going to be the backup for Gourcuff/Nasri?

There are obvious issues in the team, I don’t think certain people in the team think he deserves to be there. Martin and Gourcuff imho won’t make it. Martin has just had such a poor season, it is not even funny.

and when he does get it, he does not know what to do with it?

It’s not you or him (this time, which is a rare occasion). He’s doing OK for what we can expect from him.

I think it’s actually Debuchy (and maybe Nasri). Dude had missed quite a few choice passes. But over all, I would say it’s a lack of cohesiveness in the team that we’re not used to seeing. And timing. Their timing is all wrong. So maybe due to lack of communication too.

I think You are right this is the most disparate group ever but maybe its because I can feel the level of Nasri ego here that is doing my head in. Blanc needs to keep Gourcuff on the pitch or otherwise the man will be crucified. 

There was 1 time toward the end of the half when it seemed REALLY obvious he didn’t get it. I didn’t notice other than that, but to be fair you’re probably watching him more closely than I am. Agree that he seems really unsure on the ball, tho. Sigh.

Nasri is an ego manic, he played no role in Man City’s success and doing nothing here but if I am believe to Twitter he is amazing. This is just bizarre, it is like Blanc set Gourcuff to fail. You should only have one playmaker on the pitch and he should have decided before this. 

and when he does get it, he does not know what to do with it?

Dear France there are 10 other players on the field, Ok?
