Netherlands Brilliant Oranje - Euro Cup 2012 Thread

Schaars can't play because he didn't even report to the team till after sunday, he played sunday at the portugal cup, and I think Affellay has to stay with barcelona for the Spanish Kings Cup (copa del rey)

 

Okay. Sorry Bert then. Playing Willems will be good as if Bayern play a few starters he will be tested. Ideally I would have loved to see both Willems & Schaars play 45 minutes

 

He, what do I see? A RVP vs Huntelaar discussion with all kinds of fresh new arguments and insights?








Let's move in to the game or either create a separated thread for that subject.

Defense is with Vlaar and Willems. Willems plays against Muller. Big test for him. I will also look at the Huntelaar Narsingh partnership. Narsingh is like after Gullet the highest assister in a single season in Eredisvisie. I think Ola and Huntelaar could be gold, but this is worthy to check out also. I also want to see Maher. The best game of Holland was against Sweden in recent times and was with VDV in DM. Let's see how this will fair.

 

Man Willems pushed up into the box with that attack.

 

Bad one two Boula

 

Boula turned on.

 

Vorm taking ages again.

 

Huntelaar missed, but Narsingh after that feels very light to me. Not a logical follow up after the miss.

 

Narsingh horrible first touch.

 

Now 2 times no tight defense from Willems, the low cross situation and that header.

 

Wow, probably there was a swirl in that ball, but Vorm didn't look good there.

 

Good answer. Good pass Kuyt.

 

We are pushed back to much. I don't like that. Also I want DM to pick up players faster.

 

Oke 2-1. Was that VDV with the pass? That is the + from a footballing DM with vision. better utilization from players with speed.

 

I want Kroos better controlled. Pick him up!

 

Narsingh in game not good so far. Just the overall participation and understanding with fellow players. His goal was well taken.

 

That happens because Kroos is not picked up. 2-2.

 

That was an obvious attempt of Tymoshuck to injure Sneijder.

 

Again. Defense looks way too think. VDV as CM is not working.Defense is getting turned over. We also had one of our worst games with VDV as CM,a Hungary Sweden game.

Bring on Anita,VDW & Strootman

 

Narsingh did beat Alaba there ....

 

I am getting a mini heart attack every time the defence is being attacked. Looks fragile. Boula is not good enough anymore too.

And Kroos is running the show. Someone should pick him up.

 

Bert is also to blaim here. He needs to have somebody in game to chance the situation and make clear somebody picks up Kroos.

 

De Jong-VDV is a SUPER FLOP. DE Jong is useless anyway.

 

Boula is a washed up player with 0 Attacking abilityes & his defensive abilities have fallen hard too.

Again VDV-De Jong is not working. De Jong looks tame, I dont get that badass vibe from him. No teeth,no bite

 

Where is VDV when it takes to defending off the ball. No pressing,no positional sesnse
