Still injured, nothing serious. (he was substituted on once and decided the game) he has had some horrible luck past months.

Your normal left winger is Mertens right? If Lestienne gets fit and has a good run again, he might very well bench Mertens. Especially with the strikers Belgium have. Even at half power Lestienne is the better player imo.

Yeah was mostly talking about his parents etc

Mertens is a bench player for the national team unfortunatly. Ussually Hazard plays Left wing, De Bruyne central/right.

Lestienne is far from being called up, Carraso is performing really well for Atletico, Mirallas is always called up, even Bakkali has more chance of being called up

Yes but you have to agree that you guys don't have a winger like Lestienne. He has a very decent cross is fast and defends well. Things Hazard and Mertens both lack on the wing.

Meh, Lestienne is playing (or was) really well for PSV, but he's still nowhere near the level to play for the national team.

Our whole system is made to not cross aswell, thats why Lukaku and Benteke lack goals for us but De Bruyne, Mertens etc have alot of goals

Stop being biased bud, lestienne has no chance.

I don't say he has to start, just a very usefull sub in case you need to force something in a diffirent way. Furthermore if he were to reach his earlier form he isnt that far off of your national squad IMO.



Please don't react to anything here you probably never seen anyone other than Hazard in this discussion.

We have alot of these kind of players tho and Wilmots has his favorites, hardly ever selects someone else.

I know, but its soo sad to see them put Hazard on the left/right and decent strikers underperforming. Still a decent team ofc. There is just more potential that's all I'm saying.

Quote (Mr_Mill @ 28 Jan 2016 23:58)

Agreed, Wilmots did a great job putting Belgium on the map but I feel we need a more experienced coach to bring out the best out of the players, atm De Bruyne and Courtois are our most important players while Hazard should be on top.

IDK de Bruyne is very very good, I rather have the best box to box and a mediocore 10 than otherwise. And having a decent keeper is perfect because any striker knows that his ball has to be perfect and therefor they miss more.

We really can't tell what will happen this summer though since Im not too sure de Buyne will make it.

To make this PSV related again. I wonder when Jordy de Wijs will come through in our first squad. Might be soon since Bruma might get sold if he keeps playing like this. He is a Belgian if you didn't know :)
