Barking PoslethwaiteAgreed. Since he’s had new gnashers he’s gone super defensive and is being questioned by fans and media.Rab C NesbittDeschamps is nowhere near good enough to manage the team he is. Like Southgate tbf
Yep, the bloke who's taken a no-hope team to the Champions League final, won the French championship and three league cups, led the national team to the Euro finals and won a World Cup is obviously a bit rubbish and no better than Southgate 😁
Like most modern coaches he has a preferred style and tries to fit players to it rather than the other way round. The last couple of years has been a desperate struggle to reinvent a defence strong and reliable enough to allow France to continue to be expansive (and wasteful) further forward. Lots of players and lots of combinations have been tried and it's not happening because none of the replacements can do the same job. The better players at the back - like Pavord - are more comfortable coming forward rather than digging in and it's leaving holes all over the place.
He'll have to go after this tournament (assuming things don't suddenly click) because he's not the man to make the best use of what there is any more, but it's silly to suggest he's been a failure or has anything to prove.
You’ve just admitted he’s got something to prove. And you could say pretty much the same about Southgate and why he’ll probably have to go
I see the French squad are back to fighting amongst themselves after having a World Cup off from doing so last time.
They must be a nightmare bunch of egos to manage.

Just seen on bet365 over 2 corners each half at evens.

T'was on 5 Live earlier, some French journo was on about different factions within the squad and it reminding him of previous tournamnets.
No stories or whispers in the press here. But if it was on the BBC it must be true.
He's got himself a scoop then because nobody else seems to have that story.
You might be right, I'm just referring to something I heard.
Kane to score a brace tomorrow is 4/1 with ladbrokes. Very good price that.
Is it? Don’t think Kane scores a brace once every four games. Maybe 8/1 would be a ‘good’ price.
