Rob Holding: I'm Sorry He Didn't Cost £55 Million

[truth_hurts]

Still want to punch him in the throat, but I thought Balding was really good tonight.0

Think hes actually improved massively under Arteta. All this talk of needing to sign a RCB, not sure we will.

Holding/Saliba Gabriel/Mari with Mavropanos thrown into the mix is a great set of CB's

Not one of them is world class. How is it great? It's an okay set of cbs.

For now its a great set of CB's. Dont try to run before you can walk, we are a Europa league team aiming to get into the CL. Gabriel and Saliba have the potential to become world class, this team needs to grow and great players need to become world class.

There's a minimal supply of world class CB's out there right now. World class partnerships are more important than individuals unless you can find another van dijk.

Holding has been very solid. Is he the greatest CB? No, of course not, but compared to some of the dross we have been playing over the last several years I am quite happy. Plus, like that he is going bald! One more of us hair impaired lads around!

 

[RandomHero84]

Having watched us be undermined by players like mustafi, squillaci, cygan, stepanovs and so on, I'm quite alright with Rob Holding.

 

[Gooner416]

Look forward to seeing Robbo tested against some of the sides in our upcoming fixtures. He's definitely been solid over our last 5 games but Newcastle also has 1 goal in 7 games. Want to see him up against Rashford in a couple weeks time.

 

[DasBootist]

Still praying that we sell him this month.

lol man said 'praying'.

Holding been one of our best players this season, dawg

 

[Dutch D]

I'm happy with his solid performances, but of course a performance against an absolutely dreadful Newcastle shouldn't count for too much. Barely had anything to do. Still, I'm happy he's been dependable.

 

[Oxeki]

He's been playing decent. He should stick to what he does best which is defending.

He should stop trying those long passes. He looks pathetic trying to attempt it and we lose the ball each time.

Definitely mikel trying to teach him the long ball passing he still very far from getting it right but not mind doing it when there is space and a chance

Defenders by themselves don't need to be world class. Good and very good players can make a world class unit. The unit is more important than the individuals.

 

[RacingPhoton]

He has been solid so far. We have an interesting line-up of PL fixtures coming up which will really test his mettle.

He'd still won't face elite strikers Southampton could be without Ings because of COVID he handled him well first time Wolves without Jeminez. But against utd could be interesting an counter attacking quick team

He’s better than Koscielny ever was but Koscielny was never held to as high a standard as Roberto.

 

[Trilly]

It's beautiful isn't it? I always knew Holding was gonna prove his haters wrong even has @Trilly on side now.

I'll never be on side, he's actually playing the best he's ever played and I'm straight up refusing to acknowledge it.

I can respect agendas over everything tbh, might have to start the Laca train up again now people starting to rate him again. The marathon continues.

This is the most interesting run of our season, we're going to learn a lot about our players and our manager.

Southampton, Wolves, Burnley etc are the sides that a top 6 team has to beat

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Loved it when Holdini went through Almiron and absolutely clattered him and then called him a diver. Proper Brexit football :rofl:

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Koscielny never kept 5 clean sheets in a row, just saying.
