Rob Holding: 2019/20 Performances

[boonthegoon]

This guy looks like Moriarty from the Sherlock TV series

 

[Ciscoo]

To be honest I’ve never seen much from him. He’ll be 25 next year and he’s hardly challenging for a starting place here.

Let’s just hope Fulham go up. There’s no way he can be worse than Tim Ream in the prem.

 

[truth_hurts]

Can't wait to sell this guy.

 

[Oxeki]

He's our worst CB currently.

People are just blinded by his 'englishness'

not currently
Always has been

 

[Red London]

Lets support this guy, we need another big cup final performance from him if we want to win on Saturday.

 

[Macho]

Indeed we are gonna need him assuming he gets the nod. I am confident regardless of whatever we may think, he will rise to the occasion and give 100%.

 

[truth_hurts]

Can't wait till we rid ourselves of Holding. Hype for no reason. Yes, he only cost two millions, but he's cost us points and the chance of signing more talented young players. We can probably get 10-15m off a Leeds, Newcastle or Palace if they can afford him. Good riddance.

Arsenal hasn't been a good club for CBs in like 16 years, Holding will look bad because all the senior CBs are terrible too. I'm still rooting for him even if you lot turned on him already, we need to show more support to our players.

I can only speak for myself but: Im simply asking him to step up. We got a clown in Mustafi and another risk in Luiz defending our box. IF Holding can't surpass one of them, his abilities have to be doubted.
I agree with supporting our players but saying that Holding looks bad, because all the others are terrible, is a bad argument, don't you think?

ACL is a serious injury he will take time to recover fully.

Not sure. Holding I’ve never felt sure about him.

You can tell from his play on the ball that he’s terrified. It’s not a case of rust or lack of match practise, he just doesn’t have that in his locker imo.

Why does Rob get your support, but Kos didn't?

 

[Maybe]

Why does Rob get your support, but Kos didn't?

Because Kos was a starter earning more money so you would expect more of him. Rob is basically a 4th choice CB on 20k/w, earning less than Nelson probably

Everything @Maybe said also Arsenal fans don’t act like Holding is some world class CB like they do with Kos. Also Koscielny let us down so many times when he was supposed the leader, Holding is a fringe player trying to get his fitness back to the top level.

@BigPoppaPump find it so weird you rate Holding, I reckon you fancy him.

One week we hate Mustafi, then we switch to Luiz, then go to Kolasiniac and now Holding. I just think the whole villain of the week thing we have going with our defenders is getting silly now.

Depends on how you look at it. Kos was one of the best, if not the best, keeping the high line. He was struggling to defend against strong aggressive players and wasn't the best clearing set pieces.
Depending on the forward he was marking, he did have some top class games (even against Messi), but a week later he would get destroyed by some PL bum with muscles.
All in all, he did well for us, and compared to our current group, it does feel like we've had a world class defender in him

I think David Luiz is better than Koscielny tbh, Koscielny really depends on who his partner is. He use to make mistakes all the time and was easy to bully. I don’t think he’s much better than what we have now, he’s similar to Mustafi.
