Euro: SF: France vs. Germany, 7/7/2016

I don't find him pretty good at all so far.
He has been left all alone ALL GAME by Payet. Has only mustered one decent cross out of it.
DD is getting crazy on the sideline after Payet.

Completely agree with you there, he should create much more with the space he gets.
Also did not have a good game against Italy.

If I was DD, I'd take Giroud off for Kante at the half. If you start to get more control of the game and need more push in the final third, then replace Sissoko with Coman or Martial later.

Pogba-Matuidi isn't a midfield. That might work vs. Iceland but it won't here. I'd take off Matuidi for Kante.

Agreed.

 

[Deficient Mode]

And yet he's been 10 times or so in position to do so.

Oh yeah, and who's the target? Athletic giant Thomas Müller? Germany isn't trying to attack by low percentage crosses. Not all successful full backs play the same way.

Evra

It was Matuidi

 

[les Habs]

Horrible decision by Muller after the poor back pass from Matuidi. France have been giving it away too easily for a while.

 

[Peen]

Great no call

Well called game so far

Well the fact is he did try to cross it in various time and mostly didnt get the ball past the first defender.

You think not crossing the ball when you have the chance to do so is playing an insane game?
Or is it the 1 challenge won out of 2 which is insane???

Sorry, 1 out of 3 now.

 

[hatterson]

Good no call on that. Bastian was creating just as much contact as the defender.

 

[YNWA14]

France need Sissoko off the pitch. Kante on for him brings balance to their midfield and allows both Pogba and Matuidi to be a bit more adventurous. Griezmann and Payet can handle the wideplay with Giroud up top.

Either way Sissoko is terrible.

 

[Ceremony]

Giroud

Carthorse

 

[Eisen]

HÖwedes!!!

 

[Bon Esprit]

Höwedes!

 

[Just Win]

Höwedes

 

[les Habs]

Ridiculous from Schweinsteiger there looking for a call.

Nice play by France. Germany has how much possession and can't put together a play like that.

I really don't care. Crosses are a waste, and not why Kimmich is a good full back. It's not why Lahm was a world class full back either.

Talking about challenge percentages and crosses lol. What antiquated thinking.

 

[Power Man]

Benzema is faster than Giroud tbh

 

[Evilo]

Kimmich all alone again.

Thank god he can't make a decent cross !

 

[Luigi Habs]

France is alive

 

[The Moose]

Giroud

Carthorse

Giroud cannot run.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Pathetic from Giroud

 

[les Habs]

One touch too many by Giroud there, but he looked like he was having trouble getting it to settle down.

 

[JVR]

Kimmich was bad against Italy and has been decent so far in this game, nothing more.
