can't do it myself this time obviously! fingers crossed all of them will return injury free especially Aguero and Zaba!
 
Can see Tevez replacing Kun for the Wigan game, considering the amount of travelling Aguero and Zab will have to do, whilst Tev will get a further 2 weeks training.

Clichy didnt get called up and I think Dejong didnt go because of this injury
Yeah, I was surprised to see De Jong's name mentioned above, he's missed the last 2 matches for City so surely he would be held back due to injury. Clichy I'm sure isn't in the French squad.

err, I got it off the official website!

Argentina match in 1 hour,

would appreciate if our Balkan friends give us an update on Edin/Stefan/Kola and how many minutes they played later on today! :)
 
Aguero - 13 mins plus stoppage time.

Zabaleta - started and subbed in 83rd minute

Day 1 of international matches updated!
 
Just watched Savic play against Wales.

Pros:
His passing is fantastic-whether short balls or long balls forward
His not too bad in the air
He closes down players quickly

Cons:
His positioning on a number of occasions was poor along with his reading of situations
He made a number of silly mistakes
Lacks the pace it seems especially against Bale and Bellamy

That was my take-anyone agree/disagree?
 
The game 161 said:
Just hope our guys don't get hurt
More players get injured in training with their domestic team than in international matches.
 
Dzeko played 80 mins in our 0:2 WIN :-) at Belarus. He was replaced for time-wasting purposes as we were closing out the game.

He didnt score but played briliantly the entire game. Had few shots just wide, and his first touch (hear, hear) in opponent's penalty box forced opponent to give up a penalty for 0:1.

One standout move was when he chest-controlled a 50 yard bomb from the goalkeeper with a defender on his back :-) I swear his chest control is second to none.

Rematch AT HOME on Tuesday, expecting him to bag in a few here - he's just in a GREAT form.
 
L'Equipe France ratings v Albania: Lloris 8; Reveillere 5 Kaboul 3 Abidal 5 Evra 6; Diarra 4 M'Vila 8; Malouda 4 Nasri 3 Ribery 5; Benzema 8

L'Equipe very critical of Samir Nasri for dropping too deep and holding onto the ball too much against Albania.
L'Equipe: "Why did Nasri keep stepping on Diarra and M'Vila's toes, rather than getting closer to Benzema?"
L'Equipe: "Another of Nasri's counter-productive habits is holding onto the ball too much, as if he's desperate to prove what he can do."
