World Cup 2018: 3 reasons why France drew 0-0 with Denmark

#2 Griezmann and Giroud misfire again

Frustration is etched across the pair's faces after another scoreless afternoon

The partnership between Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud in attack is yet to really click at this year's World Cup. With that in mind, perhaps it's time for Deschamps to rethink his formation and switch to a 4-3-3, seeing Giroud get demoted to the substitutes' bench.

Here, it was more of the same. The duo finished the game with an average pass completion rate and combined for just two shots on goal. It's not as though they have not shown a willingness to work hard for each other, but nothing is coming off at present.

This has been the third consecutive game where the pair has failed to deliver - the first albeit, Giroud made a second-half substitute appearance. Griezmann has only scored once, from the penalty spot against Australia, while Giroud is yet to open his own goalscoring account.

The experienced Chelsea forward appears to be better suited coming off the bench, turning games around when called upon - while Griezmann has excelled playing in the lone striker role as he did during the European Championships two years ago, steering France to the final whilst collecting Golden Boot.
