Rob Holding: The Return

[grange]

Hey, that I can't explain. Lol. Just alleviating the concerns on Holding for now. Can only put out so many fires at a time.

 

[mm76]

Sure, but to have no defenders on the bench at all...

yeah i did a real double-take when i saw that - maybe he thought he could move Granit or Coq (yes, i know) back if needs be but still....

 

[Deathstroke]

All AW needs to do is heed the advice of a certain prescient poet:

"Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep Holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through..."​

Wenger on Holding: "I believe he has a great future"

he's leaving Arsenal then?

 

[Mark Tobias]

Possibly our only real deal this past summer. Really hope he gets more game time. The season is pretty much over. Throw him in and get him ready. Our other options are ****

Gabriel finally dropped for Roberto Holdini. Expect a masterclass in distribution and defence.

Should never have been dropped in the first place. Terrible man management from Wenger.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Good game today still learning but he should be our starting center back next season if we do keep playing 3 at the back. Holding Kosh Chambers/Mustafi look very solid.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Also his mistake in first half wasn't his mistake more Likely Kosh mistake who was slow to react to the pass.

 

[ARSNLNO1]

Very solid game today, no reason why he shouldn't be fighting for a starting place now, easily a better defender that Gab or Mustafi when he's had the chance to show it. As for next season.. I don't want the lad put under too much pressure too soon.

Feel much more ease when Gabriel isn't playing. Holding with brilliant talent and each game gives him more experience.

Gabriel was brill against Citeh in the semi final

No, it was a poor pass. He had the opportunity to play it earlier but delayed. It was his only genuine mistake.

Looked great again. This kid is a gem.

And absolutely shiet against Sp**s.

His pass to Rooney today was too soft but both Cech and Kos could've negate that chance.

 

[Penn_]

Wenger's doing the right thing by not given him a prolonged run in the team. His made a couple of mistakes against both Manchester clubs that really could have cost us. Fans would quickly tear into him should a mistake like those lead to a goal.

 

[Impact]

Think it's quite telling about his mentality that the big mistake that led to Rooney's chance didn't affect his game.

Still had the confidence and composure to bring it out from the back and didn't let his head drop on his defensive duties. In fact, it was his hounding of the ball high up the pitch that led to Chamberlain's cross for the goal.

Have a lot of time for a young player to grow and learn when you can see that they have a lot of potential. Holding fits that bracket.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

He's been a positive point, in an otherwise bleak season at times.
