Deschamps: I have 11 problems

France coach Didier Deschamps is frustrated with his underperforming side as automatic qualification is almost out of reach. 

The French sit three points behind Spain after their 0-0 draw against Georgia with the French failing to find the net in their last five matches. 

Karim Benzema has not scored in his last 20 international matches with critics calling for him to be replaced. 

"Benzema is not the problem. I have 11 problems, 11 choices to make every time we play," he told reporters on Saturday.

"Benzema may be in the area and it depends on who he has around him as to whether he scores.

"I encourage them to talk. Benzema complained about a lack of communication on the pitch. I'm not worried but if it is there is that we need to improve difficulties."

"Benzema and Giroud can work but the two do not play in a 4-4-2 formation for their clubs so it will take time." 

Deschamps refused to label his side as one of the worst French sides of all time but instead is focusing his attention on turning around his sides fortunes. 

"I could never say this is one of the worst teams in French history. I do not compare generations.

"Is it a problem of inefficiency or poor talent? Who can evaluate? Players score for their clubs when selected but not for us, though. We have players who lack experience

"I will make choices for the good of the team, not choices sanction. I still have some solutions but do not have a miracle solution.

"Spain had fewer opportunities than we did here in Georgia in May but they won 1-0 in the 86th minute."

"I have two eyes to see. I am in the analysis. I have not decided who will play in Belarus but I will make choices for the good of the team.

"We are lacking in efficiency. We need to improve this aspect."
