I think also lack a real gol scorer, an outright striker.

No substitutions for either side starting the 2nd half. That seems a bit wrong for the Dutch. Perhaps by 65 min if they don't show good attack, we see more offensive substitutions on by van Marwuk.

So van Marwuk can breathe easier. Match will probably finish this way.
