Quite a lot.
Nasri and Benzema were criticised by Gallas and Henry after Euro 2008 for not showing the senior players enough respect. Domenech ingeniously dealt with the problem by just not picking them - under Blanc, they're back in.
Abidal, Evra and Toulalan are unlikely to feature again, Henry, Gallas, Anelka and Govou have quit the team (and wouldn't have been picked again anyway), Gignac's been dropped and Ribery's injured. So it's a whole new team really - new CBs, new central midfield and new centre forward.
After the initial teething troubles it seems to be working quite well - I think Blanc really knows what he's doing.
