I agree on Holding not being as bad as many make out. From Youtube viewings of White, he does seem to be a player who is far more comfortable inviting opposition press than Holding(And to a lesser extent Gabriel) though. For me, its not the long balls that will help us but this ability to invite press and get past the first line of press. This creates more space for the midfield to operate in IMO. Our CM`s anyways need to play much better than they did last season.Disagree, Gabriel is very good on ball and Holding isn't as bad on the ball as many make out. The most Imporant thing is in Holdini and Gabriel we have the mos tsolid defensive CB pairing we have had in many years. Whilst ours CMs have never been this bad.
