Netherlands missing a number of key players this international window but still getting out with 8 points.
Praise to Xavi for that and I definitely like what I see from Zechiel and Van Bommel.
Netherlands poor but a wins a win. If Reijnders was more clinical in front of goal it could have been more comfortable
In the end, Verbruggen had to make a huge save to win it
Not good enough so far from the Netherlands.
Not creating enough up front while defensively, Serbia have had 3 huge chances.
Need to improve after the break to get the win
Timber brothers have been a disaster.
But so have most of the other players too.
Seems if Summerville doesn’t do something himself we have nothing going forward.
Really poor so far.
Greece by far the more energetic side.
Netherlands midfield, unsurprisingly, being overrun.
A midfield three of Q Timber, Veerman and Til…
Is that the weakest, on paper, Netherlands midfield in years?
Mexx Meerdink with a great penalty and another top finish to win it.
Works hard and builds play up too.
Promising first start but we all know he has plenty to work on.
Going away to Serbia and getting a victory is no easy task.
Netherlands under Xavi looking promising so far. On to Greece and hopefully a debut for Zechiel.
Very impressed with Summerville and Veerman today for the Netherlands.
I hope we can find a solution to the 10 position because Reijnders was poor today and we had no option other than Til.
Michael Reiziger once again proving today that it was utter madness he was even in the thinking for the Netherlands job.
Decision to not play Daal and Van Bergen backfired massively.
KNVB needs to sack him if they don’t make the Euros
The Netherlands should have won.
Some poor refereeing decisions coupled with some bad finishing.
Promising signs under Xavi but need to be more clinical.
Ruben van Bommel is some player and that is some way to mark your Netherlands debut!
A frontline of Van Bommel, Summerville and Gakpo could be a lot of fun
The Netherlands U21s could line up tomorrow with Steur, Smit and Zechiel in midfield.
That is an exciting midfield trio.
Would rather watch that tonight than Gravenberch, Timber and Reijnders…
A rather boring selection from Xavi tonight.
Most of the same names from the World Cup. A start for Quinten Timber over Veerman.
Hopefully see Van Bommel second half
Guus Til being called in over Valente is a shame.
Valente a much better footballer. Til in there because he can score I guess.
First questionable decision by Xavi.
Gjivai Zechiel gets another assist for Feyenoord and is then taken off thankfully!
Cannot wait to see him in a Netherlands shirt in the coming weeks!
