Mandanda with a "save"....um..yea..that was 2-0. But I'll take it. The defending has been disastrous.
Cisse! 1-1! Off a set piece, the ball goes off someone and falls to Cisse, who shoots it off Costil, and it just crosses the line.
Valbuena, again! A very nice chip from outside the box, Costil gets a hand to it but can't keep it out. 3-1.
And its a hattrick for Cisse. He runs onto a ball from JAK, goes one on with the keeper and calmly slots it away. 5-1.
Nasri misses out on his second just before the fulltime whistle..ah well, 6-1 isn't all bad. A great result, obviously, and hopefully some momentum to carry over to the CdF fixture with Monaco next weekend.
I didnt see that coming at all. Cisse definately has his confidence back, there's no denying it. Will he get a call up to the A squad for France?
Considering he's one of Domenech's favorites, I wouldn't be shocked if it happens, though I think a Jérémy Ménez would bring more to the squad at the moment. We'll be able to see them both in the CdF match in a week.
He did alright..he was definately the least noticeable of the attacking players, but that's mostly because Nasri, Cisse, and Valbuena were all fanastic.
