Heya chaps,
As you all know the Dutch strikers Van Persie (RvP) and Huntelaar (KJH) are on fire this year. (6)
This has restarted the discussion here in Holland whether or not you can and should play both players in the same team.
Our coach Bert van Marwijk has been choosing RvP as his starting striker for some time, but he never seems to approach his Premier League greatness while in the national team. As in last weeks friendly KJH ALWAYS delivers when he's on the pitch.
One of the problems is that Sneijder's spot as AMC has been his, and his alone for some time.
Holland currently plays a 4231 with Inside forwards and either a defensive (Van Bommel & De Jong) or a supporting (Van Bommel & Strootman) midfield.
The debate is: Can you fit RVP and KJH in a 4231 and which players should play on which position?!
My opinion:
Give RVP a free role on 10, make Robben left winger, Sneijder can come inside or cross on the right.
Midfield defensive block to support all the creativity up front
