Guest Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Played in the Netherlands. Sneijder's goodbye to the crowd. Will be a cool game I reckon.
Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I'm a bit more pessimistic about this one than when I first talked about it. A lot of our players are either debutants (Calcaterra, Madrid) or completely out of form (Trauco). Guerrero is obviously missing and Trauco will have to mark Kluivert. I thought we would be able to beat the Netherlands before, but I'm not so sure now. We'll either lose both or draw one and lose the other. There is just a lack of experience in the lineups that are expected. That's what friendlies are for though: players like Johan Madrid will need time to get used to it just like it took the likes of Flores and Trauco some time. I would love to win this but I can't see it.
Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Gallese Madrid - Ramos - Santamaría - Trauco Aquino - Yotun Carrillo - Calcaterra - Cueva Farfan we'll probably go with something like that.
Administrator Stan Posted September 4, 2018 Administrator Posted September 4, 2018 where's Advincula and Tapia?
Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 7 minutes ago, Stan said: where's Advincula and Tapia? Advincula got injured in training. Tapia I think is also injured but for him it's more he's not fit enough as he has made the bench for Feyenoord.
Panna King Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Possible Netherlands line-up: Cillessen, Janmaat, van Aanholt, Van Dijk, De Ligt, Blind, Wijnaldum, Strootman, Sneijder, Memphis, Promes

Guest Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 The new lineup. It appears Advincula WILL start. He's recovered in time. Gallese Advincula - Ramos - Santamaria - Trauco Aquino - Yotun Carrillo - Cueva - Flores Farfan I've regained my confidence a bit again, but these games are no risk to be honest. Beating someone like the Netherlands is always an honour, but we need to gel some new players in. I would love to see Calcaterra over Cueva for this one.

Guest Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Our lineup is confirmed. Gallese Advincula - Ramos - Santamaria - Trauco Aquino - Yotun Carrillo - Cueva - Loyola Farfan Didn't see Loyola coming, but I am not going to complain as I was hoping for an experiment in the lineup. It is interesting to see him at left wing though.
Guest Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Really wish they hadn't used these videos for the lineups, but here is ours.
Guest Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Yotun misses a sitter. Good pressure from Andre Carrillo there.
Panna King Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Blind needs to come off ASAP been shocking.

Guest Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Just now, Panna King said: Never known a team to out play someone with only 35% of possession. We've had the only dangerous chances so far. Maybe "outplaying" wasn't the right word, but we've been better.
Guest Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 The Netherlands have been shocking, but I have been impressed with their CB pairing. They are doing a good job in keeping us out. Those wing backs look suspect though, especially Blind.
Guest Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 We're winning because The Netherlands don't have a clue how to improvise with their possession but we weren't all that good in the first half. Sloppy passing from the back and playing it too much in our own half with the ball. Hopefully the second will be better, and it usually is.
