Your ratings for the Blues against the Netherlands: Kanté still dazzling, Dembélé disappointing

With a new “clean sheet” to his credit, Mike Maignan (6.9) collects the second best score in the French eleven. The AC Milan goalkeeper was once again the author of decisive saves this Friday.

In front of him, you give correct marks to the defense. An almost identical evaluation first for the two full-backs Jules Koundé (5.3) and Théo Hernandez (5.2), who tried to contribute offensively while trying to control their lane as a priority.

In the center, the solidity of William Saliba, clean in the few duels he had to negotiate, earned him a nice 6. A score slightly higher than that of Dayot Upamecano (5.6), also valuable on numerous opposing offensives.

In midfield, N’Golo Kanté (7.4), once again elected man of the match, logically finds himself at the top of your ratings. The 33-year-old midfielder was again everywhere, judiciously projecting himself into attack while recovering hot balls.

Next to him, the return to competition after more than a month of absence of Aurélien Tchouaméni (5.3) spread serenity. The Madrilenian knew how to be clean without being dazzling, which earned him an average rating.

Placed higher than against Austria, Adrien Rabiot (6.2) was once again the author of a full match. Valuable for containing the Dutch right side and always available, he collected the third best score of the evening. An assessment which could have been improved if he had succeeded in his shift for Griezmann in the first half.

It is in attack that you give the Blues the lowest marks. Starting with Antoine Griezmann (4.9). The Atlético player should have done better on the big French chances and is below average.

Despite some well-thought-out discounts and some activity, Marcus Thuram (3.9) has not convinced you and his lack of efficiency can be seen in your choices. You also expect a lot more from Ousmane Dembélé (3.6), the lowest rated of the Blues this Friday. Less impactful in one-on-one, he multiplied the bad choices up front and underlines the importance of Kylian Mbappé on the front of the French attack.
