Frustrated Henry looks for French improvement

THIERRY Henry says that he and his French team-mates have yet to fire on all cylinders as they approach tonight’s final Euro 2004 Group B match with Switzerland.

The feelgood factor generated by Zinedine Zidane's heroics against England has been replaced by uncertainty after a 2-2 draw with Croatia. The champions still need a draw against the Swiss to be certain of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Not least of their worries is the form of Henry, who has been muted.

"The forwards need more space. I am feeling frustrated not to be getting the quality of ball in more favourable conditions," he said. However, he says he can not complain about the fact he has Zidane, the FIFA World Player of the Year, as his main supply line.
