Klaessen, Weghorst, Akee, Van Arnalt, karsdorp, kluivert must be given an opportunity because this team will not beat any good team.
What are you talking about.
They play well against the good teams. Koemans beaten Germany, Portugal, England and France.
Its the poorer attacking teams who are defensively well organised which Oranje struggle against.
Koeman has to sort this out. There will most likely be sides in the finals group like this and may be the Oranje’s achilles heal to winning it.
Especially as these sides have a chance of going through to knockout in third place.
Surely part of the answer is bringing in players to break them down.
I think Weghourst would have been good option to bring on. Malen, Berwign and Promes are all small and don’t provide an aerial threat. Its invariably left up to Gini to get in there. Sides will start marking his run more in these types of matches.
The other is Stengs. He has to be given a chance. He is the type of player that will win the cup for them.
