Yeah agree with that too.
It seems like overkill absolutely have that plan B desperate times striker but two of them seems odd with other good options.
Must be thinking set pieces play a big role in tournament football.
I guess it's understandable to have a Plan B-Plan B, in case one gets injured, especially after Luuk only just returned, but still, Danjuma is just so much better and it's sad to not see him among the squad.
@Bosnian_fan and anyone else who fancies them to win - is Timber much better than De Ligt? I haven't watched any of them play, but De Light really looked like a bit of a weak link yesterday. If I were a Senegal supporter I'd be frustrated that they didn't try to exploit it more, but I suppose lacking the quality of Mané made it difficult for them.
De Ligt is probably still better, and at least physically stronger in the back. Timber isn't in the best form right now, either. As a profile for a RCB, Timber fits much, much better, though. Like De Ligt said himself, especially in possession you shift into a fullback like position many times and will have to adapt your play to such responsibilities. Timber is way more natural at the CB-RB shift, and at joining midfield, too. Since Van Dijk is already the CB (or CCB if you will - not to be confused with the chinese communist barty), so in that sense it's probably best (against most oppositions) to play Timber at RCB.
When looking at 3CB it's easy to just try to play the best 3 CB you have, but with the wingbacks often turning into wingers or offensive midfielders for much of the game, the side-center backs often turn into false full backs and imo they have to be able to play in those roles accordingly. Of course it depends on the exact wingbacks and CM types in front of them, but at least in the Dutch NT you can see that it really helps them to play players like Aké and Timber who can play LB and RB respectively, to some degree. Because of that I do think it's a little weird other options like Geertruida or Veltman weren't brought along (at least strategically thinking) for the right side. On the left you can shift Blind to that position if necessary (hopefully not).
But I think De Ligt was a weak link on the ball but kept on to help more against crosses and such, so the offer was Timber's technical and tactical attributions to the 3-4-1-2
