Netherlands WC squad


Doesn't change his still very raw
Fine if you think so but you wouldn't drop him and take Geertruida. You'd want more specialist left back cover

Looking at the squad, Geertruida was up against Wieffer as a versatile option. He's behind Dumfries and Timber at RB
 
The defence is good, I don’t think the club he’s representing is relevant to him not being selected when we have 2 players in the squad anyway.
No I mean that getting PL game time with us this season might have been his way to play into the WC squad. Since it didn't work, he might not fancy sticking

I agree the defence is good and it doesn't surprise me he's been left out

Think Wieffer is a bit more midfield biased than Geerty. Probably more useful to them as a result. I’d probably agree tbh. For me, Geerty is 80% right back with only outright emergency cover provided for other positions. Hopefully this doesn’t negatively affect our prospects, but he is Dutch after all.

He is more midfield yes and I agree Geertruida is a defender with midfield as a back up.

With Timber and Dumfries as their RBs it's not shock he's not in. They've got a really strong defence imo

Still hope he gets the shout and Timber misses out mind. Always better if players are able to achieve personal goals whilst playing for the club. Think Nordi's injury did for him a bit too, btw. There was talk about him getting a call up in the last friendly. I think that was why he was so visibly upset. Well, that and he's a massive drama queen!
