    The positioning on the pitch looks horrible, especially through the midfield and defense

    Last game (and so far this game) proves we need Frenkie in MF

    Lets hope its just nerves and he can improve.
    Vlaar also sucked terribly his 1st Oranje game.

    This team needs the Koeman hairdryer treatment at halftime.
    I know its just a friendly, but they look totally unmotivated

    At this point should just go route one to Brobbey and have him back into the defenders and draw fouls, only way we are getting up the pitch haha

    This is by far the worst first half I have ever seen Oranje play

    Dutch lucky not to be down 3-0. All the MFs are awful. Hato made up for his blunder with a nice intervention five minutes later. Dumfries is not interested in defending. I can't see this team scoring.

    Very uninspired performance. Could not get out from the back, losing possession, no opening to pass forward, no pass to the front attackers playing like they belong to League B. The only positive is that the score 0-0. Koeman is the main reason, does not matter how one can sugar coating this.

    Wow, no changes in the back. But at least a couple in the midfield (Xavi to the midfield with malen out side and Wieffer in the 6-area)

    I'm wondering if Koeman has lost the dressing room after the Bergwijn debacle

    They seems to slow the tempo down purposely, having possession with passing back or sideways, playing for a draw?

    Heck of a shot to finish - not sure why vd ven slid backwards to make himself smaller when blocking the shot instead of jumping/standing to make himself bigger?

    They have no idea what to do, no decisiveness in the side.

    And that’s why we play Xavi in the middle - shame that didn’t go in

    Why Geertruida but not Maatsen if we look for equalizer?

    What a shit match. Draw would have been underserved but could have been. Pretty sour taste after these last two matches.
