PLAYER RATINGS
SAMI MOKBEL AT THE JOHAN CRUYFF ARENA
HOLLAND (3-4-3) TEAM AVERAGE 6.4
JEROEN ZOET 7 HAD played well until England took the lead. Looks a promising keeper. MATTHIJS DE LIGT 6.5 NEEDED eyes in the back of his head to deal with the movement of England’s front three. STEFAN DE VRIJ 6.5 LOOKED unsettled by the pace of England’s attack at times. But the Lazio defender stood firm. VIRGIL VAN DIJK 7 AN authoritative performance from the newly appointed Holland skipper. HANS HATEBOER 6.5 A STEADY game at right wing back, and did well to stand tall when facing Rose’s pace. GEORGINIO WIJNALDUM 6.5 KEPT things ticking over in the middle without being spectacular. Steady Eddie. KEVIN STROOTMAN 7 DESPITE his injury problems, the Roma star still looks a class act in the middle of the park. PATRICK VAN AANHOLT 6.5 THE Crystal Palace defender gave as good as he got in his battle with Trippier. QUINCY PROMES 6 TOOK up some dangerous positions but his final delivery was found wanting too often. BAS DOST 5.5 HE’S NO Van Basten or Van Persie, is he? We’ve seen far more polished Dutch No 9s. MEMPHIS DEPAY 6 HAD A point to prove after his Manchester United nightmare. He failed.
SUBSTITUTES
D Propper 6 (for Promes 66min) R Babel 6 (Dost 66) W Weghorst (De Vrij 89) D van de Beek (Strootman 90) RONALD KOEMAN 6 THIS IS not a classic generation of Dutch footballers. The new manager has a big job ahead.
ENGLAND (3-5-1-1) TEAM AVERAGE 6.7
JORDAN PICKFORD 6 SOUTHGATE will be none the wiser about his goalkeeping dilemma after this indifferent display. KYLE WALKER 6.5 WHY was a right back of his prowess used as a centre back? Answers on a postcard please. JOHN STONES 7 DEALT well enough with Dost and his decisive passing from the back caught the eye. JOE GOMEZ 5 THE Liverpool defender lasted all of nine minutes before limping off with an ankle injury. KIERAN TRIPPIER 6.5 INDUSTRIOUS down the right flank but his final ball lacked his usual quality. JORDAN HENDERSON 6.5 THE ENGLAND captain kept things nice and simple in the congested engine room. A OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN 7 SHOWED some promising invention in his preferred role in the centre of midfield. JESSE LINGARD 7.5 TOOK up some dangerous positions and was rewarded with his second-half goal. DANNY ROSE 6.5 PATROLLED the left side with his usual energy, but short of his best form going into the summer. RAHEEM STERLING 8 A MENACING and threatening display. Should be a key man for England this summer. MARCUS RASHFORD 7 HIS pace petrified Holland but was largely outnumbered by the Dutch defence.
SUBSTITUTES
H Maguire 6.5 (for Gomez 10min) D Alli 6 (Lingard 68) J Vardy 5 (Rashford 68) D Welbeck 6 (Sterling 68) A Young 6 (Rose 71) E Dier (Maguire 89) GARETH SOUTHGATE 7 A BAFFLING team selection but, to be fair, this was a promising display by England.
REFEREE JESUS GIL MANZANO (Spain) 6 GAME was played at pace of a pre-season friendly. An easy night’s work on the whole, but should have given a penalty for a foul on Rashford.
