Qatar World Cup - Oranje Victory to Come!

Blind failed to keep up with the running player . It was even match until then.

 

Even with De Roon, Frenkie plays so deep and is marked.

 

Everyone knew Blind was gonna be the one that hurt this team yet Van Gaal refused to see it. He just can’t keep up

 

Set pieces are not good enough. Frimpong is warming up. Need to make adjustments at half time. Argentina plays 3 in the back with a stack midfield so chances will be scarce.

 

Bergwijn needs to sit

 

I have said that 100 times: daddy's boy has to play. Irrespective of actual form.

 

Bergwijn totally useless-- just like he's been for Ajax the last few months. Not enough quality in the middle. Sub de Roon.

Argentina will make this 2nd half really ugly. They've done a great job tactically so far.

 

Need to play faster.
Stop with the backpasses.
De Roon can’t pass forward so Frenkie is pinned deep.
Frenkie needs to advance with the ball and Timber has to take his space forward also.
Blind is a joke.
Romero carded I would attack him.

 

Yeah, bergwijn needs to be off. Feel like I’d actually like to see Klaassen.

 

yeah, definitely not looking forward to their second half. Feel like this is definitely going to end 0-1.

A big 'grade F' for Van Gaal

 

Same feeling. Argentina will pass around or counter attack, just like Netherlands would play with the lead. I am not sure if this team can come from behind with what they showed so far.

 

Bergwijn/de Roon off... thank god.

 

Blind must come off!

 

We know Messi will get attentions when he has the ball; need to mark or keep up with the runners; defence failed to execute.

 

Don’t know where a goal comes from. Almost feel like a big guy needs put in up front and start playing route one against the small center backs

 

Gakpo hasn’t been good up to this point. Losing the ball way too often for my liking.

 

Yep... Decent pass there and Argentina walks in a 2nd. He's toast. NOT the right match to start him.

 

Terrible again from Gakpo. Put Lang in.

 

Blind must come off

 

Koop and Berghuis are not much better. Now Luuk in for Blind. Where are Lang and Xavi?

 

Koop is so underwhelming.

 

No flow whatsoever. Koop can’t hold and keeps fouling. 0 shot on target.

 

Pk. It is over.

 

We don’t deserve to go through playing like this.
