Guus Til and Ruben van Bommel face criticism after Netherlands draw with Greece
Summary

Guus Til and Ruben van Bommel have been criticized for their performance in the Netherlands' 2-2 draw against Greece in Thessaloniki on October 3. Former international Arie Haan expressed concerns over their tactical positioning, which contributed to the Dutch team's first-half struggles. Netherlands fell behind 2-0 before late goals from Virgil van Dijk and Tijjani Reijnders salvaged a point. Haan pointed out that their lack of coordination affected the team's attack and left striker Mexx Meerdink isolated. Despite earlier positive performances in the international window, the PSV players' subpar showing may raise questions about their roles moving forward.
