Holland selection problems? Let me help then!!!

3-4-1-2 formation
Van der sar

Ooijer
De Boer
Stam

Van der meyde
Davids
Van bommel
Robben

Van der vaart

Ruud
Makaay

Subs: Kluivert, overmars, seedorf, Hofland, westerveld

Lots of crosses from the flanks, very tight in the middle with 2 defensive mdf who can play the ball forward, create& long range shoot. Van der vart will be the main man( true number 10).2 target men up front who are very clinical with their finishing & good header of the ball.Kluivert on the bench due to his form ( or lack of it)& the presence of a N° 10( VdVaart)

Score Vs scots 4-1 holland win!!!

All very well, but Stam's suspended, Van Bommel's injured, Ruud and Makaay are almost useless at international level, and, well.....

C'MON YOU SCOTLAND!

GK: van der Sar, no good alternative
LB: Pascal Bosschaart, only left back in holland, MoM week in week out, but does not play for a great club so our rather short-sighted manager overlooks him constant
CB: I would choose Stam, but he is suspended, so I'd pick Hofland, young, talented, slightly insecure and injury prone, but he needs the extra confidence
CB: Cocu, you don't need 2 CB's against scotland, so he can play as an extra midfielder, hardly ever makes a mistake.
RB: Reiziger, no other choice available, Ricksen sucks and ooier is not much either

LM: Robben, everyone agrees on his talent, dives quite often, can not defend, but we have to win.
CM: Sneijder, 2 footed, extremely talented bit lightweight, great tackle.
CM: Seedorf, sounds strange, but davids is over the hill, and seedorf wants to prove himself, here is his change.
RM: Van der Meyde, Like Robben, extremely talented, best player against scotland (with Stam)

ST: Van der Vaart
ST Makaay, this combination would work IMO, because van der vaart is a bit like Ballack, with whom makaay plays for munich.
Both players can win a match in split second and need half a change to score.

So no De boer, no kluivert, no davids, no Nistelrooy, they just don't work as a team.

this should do the trick, and after that fire Advocaat

didnt Van Der Meeyde collapse during an interiew?...i think he is out of the game.

He did collapse, but it has to do with his extremely low blood pressure, so no damage done and he will play.

Yeah he did collapse. But you know what else happened ???? Half the dutch team had an all night-party at the Airport - including Kluivert, Seedorf, Davids, van der Meeyde and others.

It seems that this is the typical dutch national team problem - great players, but no real team spirit.

What a shame, if they didn´t qualify.... :(

I'd like to see Kluivert and Makaay playing up front. Makaay has been underrated. He's a better player than vDiver.

agreed. maakays rate at Bayern is: 10 goals in 11 games.

The guy is excellent, not as good as Henry, but unbelievably efficient.

And: he doesn´t dive like Ruud. He seems to be real sportsman.

Well it didn't happen, Kluivert was there, but to pick up his girlfriend, it was a piece of "The Sun"like journalsim in the dutch papers......
