I've never seen passes from these two the way Willems did from the midfield pinpoint into the box or from the sideline like a winger.
What Aké does is running forwards to act as an extra striker, but being back too late or being easily beaten on a one to one confrontation.

Totally agree here. Willems is miles better than Ake and Van Anholt in terms of offensive capabilities.

From Ronald Koeman, “Daley didn’t have a good game. It happens. We have all been there. Every player with 40+ caps is entitled to a lousy game and I love it when it does happen in friendlies and not in real matches. I do think Daley can handle MBappe. He handled fast players before, when at Man United. I remember Mahrez not getting anything against Blind. But Van Aanholt is an option too. Patrick was absent on Thursday due to his sister’s wedding. However, if Jan Vertonghen can handle Mbappe, so can Daley.”

Sounds like it is either Blind or van Aanholt

Ridiculous analysis from Koeman

If so, I thing there will be a lot of interchange of positions and they can easily move back into a 4-3-3

EDIT: Not sure Pröpper is the right choice for this match. I would prefer Vilhena

Brilliant Dutch · Sep 9, 2018

Bookies arent giving us much of a chance

Orange14 · Sep 9, 2018

game on!!

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

Lmao, Blind. Here we go.

Brilliant Dutch · Sep 9, 2018

Why is Vilhena not on the bench??

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

C’mon boys, like Frenkie said, “dare to play against them”.

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

We’re just showing them wayyy too mich respect right now.

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

What a horrendous touch from wijnaldum. Should de better for someone of his quality.

Brilliant Dutch · Sep 9, 2018

Nice assist by Promes

Sam_TO · Sep 9, 2018

Bad header by Promes.

That goal just had the feeling of a "matter of time"

venema20 · Sep 9, 2018

I really want to know what the hell Promes was thinking

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

One-way traffick atm. Shame.

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

We need to give Frenkie the ball more. He’s the only one with ideas out there, bar maybe Memphis.

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

Oh c’mon Kenny, at least try to put your foot through it, what was that?

2nd_striker · Sep 9, 2018

Lol at Tete’s shot

feyenoordsoccerfan · Sep 9, 2018

Tete is not contributing much. That ball at the edge of the box would be in better hands with Janmaat.

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

Lmao nice acting Griezmann, asshole.

Jpows · Sep 9, 2018

Yeah, Babel, he’s trying but he’s just not good enough for this level.

bunbohue · Sep 9, 2018

We need Kluivert to replace Babel at half time and Janmaat for Tete.

2nd_striker · Sep 9, 2018

Babel either plays down the middle or not all. The whole team needs to push up, far too deep atm.

Orange14 · Sep 9, 2018

Babel is so bad on the ball. Kluivert needs to come on on the left wing. Defense was OK and Cillessen came up with some big saves. The US match announcers thought Wijnaldum deserved a penalty when he was taken down in the box. that may be the only chance the Dutch will have. I cannot see them scoring from open play but hope I am wrong.
