Magpie Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 11am for the Dutch squad announcement. Feel he might be unlucky this time round. His time will come though without a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His time will come though without a doubt. Yeah I think he misses out this time but he's got another 3 World Cups left in him after this one so no big deal. I doubt he's expecting a call up tbf.

Zero Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Can’t really fault the decision. A bit too late to break into the current team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 They've got a good pool of experienced CBs so it is not a huge surprise. Unlucky for him that it is clearly their strongest position. If he was a player of equivalent quality anywhere else on the pitch he would have waltzed into the squad. He will definitely be in the next Euros squad as a mainstay of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember reading a post on here saying that he probably pissed off Van Gaal for opting out of a youth team game recently as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. He was never going to feature under Van Gaal unless there were injuries to other candidates. Sven's time will come under Koeman after the WC.

Aye, you’d hope so. the weirdest absentee is Danjuma really. Van Gaal has brought three similar, mediocre forwards in Luuk de Jong, Vincent Jansen and Wout Weghorst where one, or at most two, would have sufficed in that role of target man to bring on if plan A isn’t working.
