Despite the outcome of the match, the Netherlands were expected to be the stronger team. With Gakpo scoring and Van Dijk experimenting in a new position, it was a positive day for Liverpool’s Dutch pair.

Although his decision to stay at Liverpool this season without a guaranteed starting role may have been surprising, his presence strengthens the squad. The competition he provides for Andy Robertson is valuable, and if Tsimikas gets an opportunity, he is likely to demonstrate why he deserves more starting opportunities.
