  1. In a tournament, you can’t really expect to start off slow and it work out every time. Yes, the 3 points were won in the end, but it was really unconvincing. And this is Serbia, a team know mostly for their physicality than their technical play, yet the controlled the second half entirely. We are lucky that neither Denmark or Slovenia have much more than Serbia. If we had somebody like Switzerland or Austria, we would be in trouble. 
     

    I have no expectations of this team, not under that pleb. He started the lineup I expected, player for player. Trent is not a midfielder, and definitely not when you're putting him next to somebody who isn’t a DM. The midfield was always going to get overrun at some point. Should be starting Wharton or Mainoo, but he hasn’t the balls for that. At the most, we’ll make the quarters then bye bye. 

  2. This Netherlands midfield isn’t great. I know it’s not their first choice due to injury, but the attack can barely get going because they aren’t getting the ball forward. Veerman & Schouten especially, really slow and indecisive on the ball. Want to see more from Simons & Depay second half as well because Gakpo is the one doing the most work up front so far, needs those two to wake up a bit. 
     

    If the Netherlands speed up play in the second half I can see them winning comfortably.
