    Lol, you hear this clown making shit up about Giroud and dogging Benzema and no response....

    I forget Valbuena (he got subbed) and that gets you to respond. :D

    I still think Benzema should play in a #10 position. He clearly is not a clinical finisher but this does not mean he is shit. He still have brilliant playmaking ability.

    Well said. :D

    I forgot Valbuena though. I disagree I feel Pogba and Griezman were trying hard, just playing in a team of guys who looked like they could careless. I mean their drive to win was 0 with 5 minutes left.

    If he hated Di María as much as Benzema we'd be in for some very fun times. :D

    I was just reading the Ronaldo thread and the thought came to me - who would be a better fit for Barca and Spain than Karim? I can't really think of anyone. If we can't get Suarez, which is highly unlikely, I'm back on the Karim bandwagon.

    The problem with Benzema is that he has more potential than he is actually showing, and he's 27. Its always going to irritate people that he can be better, yet for some reason he isn't.

    If he could just fix his head, we'd have many prayers answered. Dudes confidence ebbs and flows in a volatile manner. What screws us at times is his entire game seems to be built on that confidence.

    I keep hoping that when he turns 27 or 28 the light bulb will just turn on and he will be what we (those who care lol) all wanted him to be.

    I still don't think he's a CF so to speak and he def plays better with the ball at his feet from outside the box rather than sitting in the box and waiting for a pass or making runs.

    Not sure how that helps us in any way but we need to really start looking at how to get the best out of him rather than slamming our proverbial heads on the wall for another season

    I don't think we really need a CF with Benzema and Bale. We need someone who can do what Benzema does, but with confidence all the time. It would be great to have the more traditional striker as a plan B on the bench though.

    I don't even know how to get the best out of him. I just hope with each year that pass that bulb finally turns on. I wish I knew the future, because if it never turns on, I'd cut our losses.

    Since we don't play tiki kaka, nothing even similar to it, that doesn't really comfort me. I think a player that can take on defenders and keep them constantly busy without the ball, would benefit Ronaldo and Bale much more.

    He's shown signs of a great player this season, especially in that unbeaten streak in January/February, but he's been pretty much on/off since. He was the same in WC, a couple of good games, a couple of bad games.

    I will be very worried if go into the new season without a good player challenging Benzema for his spot. The only consistent thing about him is his inconsistency.

    That potential does not mean shit, if you dont have proper character to develop it.
