Robin van Persie played the full game in Holland’s 2-0
loss against France last night and his performance mirrored his recent matches
with Manchester United.
Lethargic and with very little movement, Van Persie was
isolated in attack and offered little to help Holland overcome a powerful and
energetic France. It was the same performance we have seen from Van Persie at
United in the past few games, a player who has been a shadow of the 2012/13 striker..
Van Gaal decided to play Van Persie for 90 minutes
against France and for a variety of reasons, it didn’t make any sense.
Van Persie missed training on Tuesday and was forced stay
in bed because he was sick, so he was by no means 100% fit to face France.
Also, in the build up to the game, Van Gaal indicated he may give others an
opportunity because Van Persie’s spot at the World Cup is guaranteed, yet
played him for the full match.
