I need some advice tactically and players-wise with my Holland team!

I am manager of Sevilla, and I got given the Hollan national job in my second season, after they were knocked out of Euro2008 in the group stages, getting only 1 point from their 3 matches.

I should also note, that it has just turned 2009 in my game. And I thus far unbeaten in my World Cup qualigying campaign, though it's an easy group.

This is the general team i play:

GK. Maarten Stekelenburg
DR. Gianni Zuiverloon
DL. Urby Emanuelson
DC. Arnold Kruiswijk
DC. Michael Dinsdag
MC. Hedwiges Maduro
MC. Dominique Kivuvu
AMR. Robin Van Persie
AML. Arjen Robben
AMC. Rafael Van Der Vaart(c)
FC. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar or Ruud Van Nistelrooy

This is the formation I play:

Stekelenburg


Zuiverloon, Dinsdag, Kruiswijk, Urby Emanuelson


Maduro, Kivuvu


Van Persie, Van Der Vaart, Robben


Van Nistelrooy or Huntelaar

4.2.3.1



SubGK: Boy Waterman
SubDef: Mike Zonneveld
SubDef: Serginho Greene (for his versatility)
(the two above cover all of my defense and midfield)
Sub Mid: Luigi Bruins
Sub Mid: Wesley Sneijder or Ryan Babel
SubFwd: Ruud Van Nistelrooy or Klass-Jan Huntelaar
SubFwd: Danny Koovermans or Jan Venegoor of Hesselink or Genero Zeefuik

Players that float around my squad include:

Rob Wielaert, Georginio Wijnaldum (though he's not really good enough yet), Ryan Donk, Tim Bakens, Gijs Luirink, Dwight Tiendalli, Royston Drenthe, Nigel De Jong, Demy De Zeeuw, Stijn Schaars, Michael Jansen, Theo Janssen, Ismael Aissati, Jonathan De Guzman.

I appreciate that this is quite a lot of players. But I look at this group of players, and other than you're already established players such as Van Persie, Robben, Van Der Vaart - I don't really think - Wow! World Class! And the only player that looks like joining them is Luigi Bruins. Even Van Nistelrooy is getting on a bit - and i feel that although Huntelaar is good, he's never going to be Van Nistelrooy.I have however been told that Genero Zeefuik becomes awesome!?

In regards to players such as Khalid Bhoularouz, John Heitinga, Clarence Seedorf, Joris Mathijsen, Dirk Kuyt, Edwin Van Der Saar - I have no interest in playing them as they let their country down so badly at Euro 2008 - getting knocked out in the group stages!

Any other players you guys can think of, or some tactical advice with the batch of players I have, would be great!

In advance, I appreciate everbodys help!
