Netherlands 0-1 England: 5 Talking Points

#4 Netherlands are very much a work in progress

Koeman has a lot of work to do

Ronald Koeman's Netherlands were not expected to work wonders tonight. After all, it was the man's first game in charge and the men in orange had no World Cup to prep themselves for.

But even then, the Holland squad has quite a few quality players on the pitch but they looked as disjointed a unit as any going forward. Promes perhaps looked the most lost of the lot on the attacking front but Dost and the rest of the team didn't do anything of note and saved Promes from sticking out like a sore thumb.

The characters are gone from the Netherlands team and they desperately need a leader on the pitch and I'd expect Kevin Strootman to just take command.

But as of now, even though the scoreline was 1-0, there is a huge gulf in class between the two teams that played in the Amsterdam Arena and Koeman has a daunting task ahead of him. But hey, he's got a lot of time too.
