From Sky: http://tinyurl.com/zvd3g Wenger criticises Domenech By Phil Jackson Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has leapt to the defence of under-fire striker Thierry Henry and warned his critics the Frenchman will not take stick lying down. Many had tipped the 28-year-old to star at the World Cup after a sublime Premiership season with The Gunners, but France's poor championship form has instead continued to rear its ugly head in Germany. Les Bleus have taken just two points from their opening games against outsiders Switzerland and South Korea, and the Gallic genius has taken much of the flak for the results. But Wenger feels the system coach Raymond Domenech has employed thus far, is to blame for the failings. "I feel sorry for Thierry because he was left isolated as a lone striker and did not get enough support," said Wenger. "Thierry can play that role and has done it to good effect, but if the team is not playing well and you do not get service it is impossible. "I still believe France will go through by beating Togo but they must find the right team and formation quickly. "They look like a team which needs confidence and to believe in themselves because they have the quality." France failed miserably as defending champions at the European Championships in 2004, and could again fall at the first hurdle should they draw with the Africans on Friday. But Wenger has revealed the depth of feeling his player endured after the team failed to shine at Euro 2004. "I know Thierry was very upset by what happened in 2004," he continued. "In fact, he thought about finishing with France after that, but that is in the past now and he is focused on winning this World Cup. If Les Bleus are to qualify for the next round against likely opposition Spain, and allay the doubters, they must do it without suspended talisman Zinedine Zidane and will need Henry firing on all cylinders. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 多門的惡搞~~大家都還印象深刻 現在連溫格都看不下去 挺身出來為亨利辯護 也批評了多門的戰術調度 亨利的痛 溫格最了... 總而言之... 多門只要開竅 亨利保證戴帽 --
