Memphis Depay criticized his performance in the Netherlands' 6-1 World Cup qualifying win over Turkey in Amsterdam on Tuesday, while the forward claimed a hat-trick.
The 27-year-old's first international hat-trick saw him score 33 goals alongside Johan Cruyff, but the Barcelona striker was not satisfied with his overall game.

"But if we start our own way, we make it easy for ourselves. After going two-up, we expanded our game and then you can afford those bad moments. But we really have to try." Should do and keep a high standard, and I'm talking about myself here again.
"Everyone can think that I am very happy right now after the hat-trick. I am happy, yes, but I expect more from myself."
Davy Klaasen scored with Memphis in the opening minute, which included two more penalties in the first half, before Turkish defender Caglar Soyuncu was sent off.
Memphis, which Barca boss Ronald Koeman said could "mark a new era" at the club, scored his third goal in the 54th minute and the Dutch then added two more goals to seal the win, putting them at the top of Group G. was carried on, with four matches remaining. .
However, he was pleased to move up to eighth on the all-time men's Dutch scorers list, alongside Cruyff and Abe Lenstra, and 11th overall.
"They are two great players, you can't compare them to anyone else," Memphis said after winning his 71st cap.
"But for me it's great that I'm in the top 10. Top three, I'm going for now."
Vivien Miedema is the Dutch top goal scorer of all time with 83, while Robin van Persie is the men's leading shooter with 50.
