This fella was born in an offside position .
Sokratis was very good defensively last season but granted has been poor for majority of this this season but started to turn his form back around when Arteta gave him the chance in the first team but as a RB.
Chambers - Was quality and our best defender this season until the injury.
Holding - Good player that I've always rated but it appears Arteta doesn't rate him at all and is wrongly behind Luiz and Mustafi in the pecking order.
Holding wasn't the same after his ACL injury...... he has been given plenty of chances by both Emery and Arteta. And based on his showings you are crazy if you would rather play him than Luiz or Mustafi.
He was rubbish that game though, and it's not like we looked impervious. Benefit of the doubt because of lack of match fitness but I'm not looking at Holding as a sure starter even when he's fit.Holding given plenty of chances under Arteta? Arteta has only given Holding one start which was against Leeds which we won and kept a clean sheet.
Still don't know what his attributes are.He was rubbish that game though, and it's not like we looked impervious. Benefit of the doubt because of lack of match fitness but I'm not looking at Holding as a sure starter even when he's fit.
Holding should be given a chance in the team but we need an overhaul of our CBs and I can't see him at the level we need.
A bit hot n cold, isnt he. Suppose thats natural with all the injuries. Him and Mertesacker in the Fa Cup final v Chelsea was glorious
Mertesacker was a genius CB, if he could make that bum Koscielny look good he can do it for anyone.
Yet the only centre back who played consistently well with Per, was Kos...almost like both were quality defenders, that formed a good partnership...but nah , that couldn’t be it...
The strangest thing about this guy was he practically only did one thing. Finish. But yet is still a superstar. He did absolutely nothing else ever.This fella was born in an offside position .

3 star at best.
