Alan Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 After watching most of France's games at this summer's Euro's am I the only one who thought that Benzema was a bit disappointing? He showed flashes (at best) of quality but other than that he just seemed to lose the ball and a lot and run with the ball into a lot of dark alleys. Considering the hype about him before the tournament I was expecting a bit more of him. Then again, the French as a team never really got going. Thoughts?

I mirror your views also. There is potential however if he really needs to show true class he needs to test himself in another league. The French League isn't exactly great, any one could look good there, just ask Chris Waddle :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUENUT Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Reminded me of Forrsell to be honest, I couldn't see what all the fuss is about, remember Malouda and Casacrino have both won player of the year in France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yes and Ribery as well. Both have looked very plain on the big stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibs Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yes and Ribery as well. Both have looked very plain on the big stage. They still both managed to look 100% better than Malouda though. (And Anelka come to that). If we want to compete next season, we won't want to be relying on either of those two. Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 In fairness to Benzema, judging him on his form for the French national team is like judging Lampard on his form for England and Domenech makes Steve McClaren look like a top class manager.
