    Massive game for the Dutch tonight they can't afford to lose against Germany. Thought Van Persie looked out of sorts against Denmark. If you were the Dutch manager would you play him or bring in a different striker?

    I'd drop him. Huntelaar's record is spectacular and Van Persie seems to be determined to play his way out of a move from Arsenal. Saying that, he'll probably score another belter today but luckily I don't have to pick the team!

    Should be a cracking game, both good teams. I have a lot of respect for the German side, but I want the Dutch to win, that will shake things up a bit!

    Van Persie looked like a right donkey against Denmark. If I were them I'd opt for Huntelaar.

    Start both. Huntelaar centrally, Van Persie in a free roll off one of the wings. If you cant put in 4 forwards, waht is the point of the 4-2-3-1?

    Not all forwards are the same. Van Persie isn't really a winger, and they have better options available for that position.
