Good game for Holding to come in and show us his mettle, we are going to need him.

If it doesnt work out against Leeds, then fine we make adjustments. But Rob deserves a chance to show what he can do.

Arteta ain't stupid, He is gonna do the right thing, which is to play his second choice, but seeing as his second choice isn't available, he will play his third choice...

He is not gonna weaken two starting positions because of one injury..
And that Russell Walter's kid looked alright in pre season playing alongside Gabriel, wonder if arteta will try to play him.

It was a red as he was on a yellow already. The first yellow was a bit soft though. Agreed about the pen, Son's playacting won them that pen.

Holding was a part of their plans, to get the advantage. Son sold the elbow and got Holding the second yellow. The first yellow came from the very same dark arts, that Holding couldnt handle.

But the bigger takeaway is how isolated Holding was in the first place. All teams who sees him will send the ball long, his way and look to take advantage of Rob. We need to be prepared for that, and I think we will be.

Holding should be fine against the so called smaller teams. Against City, Liverpool and Newcastle, I hope Saliba can come in.

It's a title challenge you've got to take a few risks with Saliba.

Holding is fine against midtable and lower sides. Against the likes of Liverpool, Man City etc we have to risk it with Saliba and try and nurse him through.

The way we're set up we can't be shunting players around out of position. Holding will have to play when Saliba isn't available. Zinchenko is vital in the inverted LB role, no -one else in the squad can do that. Partey is our most pivotal player, can't move him to RB. With Tomi out you can't push Blanco into CB.

Saliba is important. From Saliba to Holding maybe we can't reach the same level but the system won't be changed. But if we move Zinchenko/Partey to RB and White to CB. now the system will be changed. Do you want only one possition is hurt or multiple possitions hurts?
The last season Holding plays with Gabriel, Cedric, Elneny and Tavares.
But this season he will play with White, Gabriel, Zinchenko and Partey/Jorginho.

We want to minimize the disruption to the side as much as possible.

Holding for Saliba.

You try and shift players around and out of position and you're weakening the side in multiple positions. It's counterproductive.

After the Palace performance no-one needs to worry about Holding starting vs Leeds.

Arsenal Quotes

Arsenal have got as much chance of being handed the title by Sp*rs as I have of being given the Crown Jewels. They are the last people we want winning the Championship. Now we mean to round off our season by beating Arsenal.

There is no way we were going to be beaten
