Orange, the rebuild starts now

So rebuild with WHAT exactly??

This article suggested that the new manager won't be installed until March 2018. I guess they're in 80-100 days evaluation period. I don't follow exactly the thought process... it's not like they have a ton of options available. I still think Ronald Koeman (+Erwin as his sidekick) is the best available. Frank De Boer would be a disappointment. Gullit would be disastrous... nothing against him personally, I just think we don't want another newbie with little experience (like Danny Blind) on this job.

 

Apart from the France game, the Dutch looked good under Advocaat. In nine games, he ended it off with 8 wins and only 1 loss, with the one loss being versus France.

I feel like if they bring on Koeman, he'll recall some of those former Feyenoord players like Martins Indi, Janmaat, and Clasie who we should move on from. There's got to be better candidates out there.

 

Except we dont have any

 

Nice to see Bas Dost made a difference today

 

I like Tete at RB, and Fosu-Mensah has a lot of potential as the backup.

I've never seen Haps play, but we could give him a shot ahead of Ake.

For CB I like the pairing of Hoedt/van Dijk since they play on the same team week-in week-out in the EPL.

I meant the coaches.

 

I hope the new coach build the team around Van Dijk, De Vrij, Vilhena, Wijnaldum, Depay, Promes and pick tactics/formations suited to their strength. Can't wait to see who will make the new coaching staff next year.

 

Bosz sacked by Dortmund. Wow feel bad for him... had a sizzling start, but faded too quickly. My guess is that he will be in the run for the Dutch NT head coach opening, but I don't think he's experienced enough to get the job.

 

I think he is the best candidate for the job. Far better than Koeman or Frank "back-pass" de boer.

 

We should easily qualify for next Euro since 3 spots are up for grabs, but I think WC 2022 might still be a problem. Then again that will be played in the winter in Qatar so most people might not even notice we missed it

 

New jersey

 

FTFY

 

Thats looks really sharp!!

 

Don't think any goal was because of his fault. The whole team was crap.

 

Maybe he was purposely dogging it so the team will be forced to sell him in January or next summer

 

What's the AD's line-up based on? Current form, potential, talent level, else?

Agree that some of the names not making sense. For example, there is no way Van De Beek is below Klaassen (seen zero minute lately) and Ramselaar (bench warmer at PSV). Locadia is definitely top two in either wing positions. Painful to see that the no. 1 goalie is playing garbage minutes at Barca. I think Cilessen should move on. Or Zoet should really step up big time.
