Coventry City players Sammy Clingan, James McPake and former City loanee Oliver Norwood all started for Northern Ireland in a 6-0 defeat to Holland in the Amsterdam Arena.
McPake on his debut could do little as Robin van Persie head Holland ahead after 11th minutes.
Wesley Sneijder curled in a free-kick four minutes later before van Persie scored with a penalty to make it 3-0 in the 29th minute..
Ibrahim Afellay hit a fourth in the 37th minute and a fifth six minutes into the second half before Ron Vlaar finished off a miserable night for Michael O'Neill's side with a sixth in the 78th minute.
