I think we should have brought (Luuk) De Jong earlier on. After the 2-1 Koeman had to let Vormer on the bench, to bring him at that moment wasn't a very good choice as it isn't Vormers natural role at all to play like that, he is more like a controlling midfielder and not the one who has to be brought in front of the goal of the enemy. Blind is horrible in his positioning and he is very nonchalant. I don't like him at all as a player, never liked him. Also the right side wasn't performing well, Tete had much space but didn't do very much with it (wouldn't mind to see Atalanta's Hans Hateboer get another chance) and Promes was also very unlucky, in particular at the first goal. Frenkie de Jong is a big talent and very promising but sometimes he wanted a bit too much with the ball and he lost possession. But what i very like about him is that he always turns to the good side, he accelarates brilliantly, he has a sense of position and he is already very mature, like De Ligt. I also think Cillessen wasn't chanceless at the goal of Giroud. Gini Wijnaldum MotM for me.
But against the world champion i wasn't unsatisfied overall. In the WC qualification we lost 4-0 in the same stadium. I was afraid it was going the same way because the French started quite furiously and put a lot of pressure on us but when they cooled down we did quite well the rest of the match.
