Can van Marwijk justify leaving Robben out of the XI?

RvP had made some good runs that haven't been seen. He misses Songinho.

what you mean? It was terrible give away from the keeper but he set up a shot after cutting sideways from the onrushing defender. Just missed the goal by inches.

This lineup just aint working. Sneijder doesn't give enough width he keeps drifting central. Robben loves cutting inside. And I have no clue how far up VDV is playing, nor where exactly RVP is playing. He's been even with Huntelaar and at times further back than VDV.

I don't know who would play on the right but he's just an attack killer at this point (I'm sure he'll now score).

He's the only elite attacking player that I can think of that I find to be just a bore. He never does anything surprising, even when he's playing well. Oh look, he just cut in on his left foot. Again.

Even though Affelay and Robben were both heavily involved, they were both more detrimental to the attack than productive.

I think next game you've got to have RVP at one of the wings and Huntelaar up top. The biggest question is do you continue to play Robben out wide or go with someone like Kuyt who is better at tracking back, defending, and pass first?

so frustrating

there is no intermediate linking or play up the middle. they just are playing long balls that keep getting intercepted

Meh. Don't think he could have done much to avoid the ball there.

they just showed it and it was a handball for sure

i'd be OK with it if denmark didn't have 3-4 other handballs that weren't called
