Episode Notes

We’re now four games into Ronald Koeman’s second spell as Netherlands manager, and things aren’t going too well, with the side just losing 4-2 to Croatia and 3-2 to Italy on home turf.

Kevin from Oranje Canada joins us for the latest episode, which we begin by going through those matches, giving our thoughts on what exactly went wrong and what went right, if anything.

We then have more specific discussions about players that impressed us across the two games, players that didn’t, and the new system - similar to Manchester City’s - that Koeman introduced, which we don’t think suits the squad too well.

Some of the biggest questions surrounding Oranje right now include who should start in goal, whether Virgil van Dijk should be replaced by Sven Botman, and why Koeman is struggling when he did so well in his first spell; we talk about all of that before looking ahead to the next matches and debating whether anything but two wins is enough for the manager to keep his job.
