I would bring in Depay for Sneijder or just do something to give yourself a chance with the weapon of speed.
Blind has been pretty poor as well. With 1 off side situation, creating an Italian chance not being in line and just general on/off ball.
Have people seen how bad de Vrij was against Milan? I did. Was to blame for 2 maybe 3 of their goals. Good on ball, but a defender must be able to do more.
Sneijder is actually playing well in midfield. His passing has been on and he's working hard. Take RvP off for Depay and Wijnaldum for Afellay. Those have been the two most invisible players so far
BMI is an idiot who's totally clueless about his defending.. I'm disgusted!!! Rekik/ Kongolo should permanently replace him as the LCB for the NT..The same goes for De Vrij..Van Dijk/Veltman ..we surely have better options,don't we??? Schoolboy errors! One long ball from the middle of the park and the entire backline gets exposed! INSANE!!! THIS IS JUST INSANE!!! Bring on Depay!! We can still punish this Italian side with 10 men..!
I expect something from the Depay - RvP dynamic. Sneijder does not play bad, but he needs speed in front of him to launch people with his passing. Lens is off leaving slow RvP and Kuyt up front. Depay combines play making ability with speed and dribble. Would like to see him there.
Pundit Perez makes the same point. Netherlands has no speed up front and that is Hiddink's choice. Hiddink being poor also.
Weak intervening de Vrij, RvP with a chance that must be a goal and he misses. Good luck keeping Falcao out of the team Robin.
RvP not even making a run to benefit from a possible bad control from the keeper. Did bounce back, RvP sur place. Great effort captain
Should that be a red card for Italy? Their fans should get a red card with their green lasers. That being said, Janmaat defended very professional with his arm to ball in the box there.
RvP wins the ball there and then thre is no follow up as there is no speed. Sneijder was almost forced to play it back on Cillessen. I put that on Hiddink.
