Hmmmm. Lets stick Franck on the right and Thierry on the left. Henry is best from deep, that gives Franck freedom to roam either side as you say which is where he can cause teams problems. Zizou must play the playmaker role behind the front-line.
Effectively it looks like a 4-2-3-1 but changes into a 4-2-1-1-2 / 4-2-2-2 formation...
The ideal lineup would be like;
Coupet
Sagnol---Thuram---Gallas---Evra/Abidal
Makelele-----Vieira
Ribery--Zizou--Henry
Trez
Effectively, Ribery plays the Pires/Wiltord role. Henry cannot play that advanced and must play deeper and wide out, drifting inside. Les Bleus do not employ the same system as Arsenal do. When Thierry bursts forward, Franck can drift out to this side to support him, or stick on the natural right hand side. The only problem I have with this system is that Abidal must be favoured over Evra, because Patrice is more attack-minded and is less likely to cover the left side.
pretty well thought out formation. the key is to get the balance right between henry and ribery
