We have a slight issue, I mean i'm very high on Saliba, it's abundantly clear he has the X factor, but at the same time he's very young. And Luiz is too old. Ideally you'd have a CB like that but in between the two in terms of age.
I'd probably beat him up in front of his mum, but don't actually hate him. Just feel he more than any other player symbolises our decline under Arteta more than any other.I think @truth_hurts hatred of Holdini has eclipsed, GDeeps hatred for Leno, Big Poppa Pump of Koscielny, Fabo's hatred of everything and everyone, my hatred for Ramsey, Bellerin and dare I say ...even my hatred for Diaby.

I don't think even you could complain about Holding being 4th choice CB for us. That's what he is, a low salary and can do some stuff right but he is not the elite CB you can always count on.I'd probably beat him up in front of his mum, but don't actually hate him.

This guy being a starting centre back and captaining us? Not for me. Blood boils every time he starts an important game for us.
4th choice centre backs do not get the captains armband unless they are vastly successful or a club legend. Knob Balding is neither. He has been treated like the 1st or 2nd choice cb for most of the season. It is a travesty.I don't think even you could complain about Holding being 4th choice CB for us.

For me, if we have a limited budget this summer (which is expected) I would definitely bring Saliba back and start him with Gabriel, at least within 2 years we could have a serious CB partnership.
Everything else is just patching things up: Mari, Luiz, Holding, and short term solutions, that's what mid table looks like and what we've experienced this season.

Fair.The fact he's been an Arsenal player since 2014 and the jury's still out on him probably tells you all you need to know. I might use him at RCB till the end of the season though, seeing as Luiz is injured and he's better on the ball than Holding. But he's not a long-term option there.

Someone you also don't give the armband too in your biggest game of the season. Can't spell mediocre without Holding.I consider myself to be at the positive end of the Holding spectrum, as in I think he's an adequate back-up CB. Any assessment that he's better than that I'd put on the delusional end of the spectrum. But even despite my positivity on him, I fully understand people on more negative ends of the spectrum who say he's just not that good and we might as well sell. Like if someone said that I wouldn't go out of my way to argue with them.
He's an adequate, but limited player, certainly not someone you want to be starting in your most important games at the end of the season.
FFS the match isn't even finished yetFu**ing s**t c*nt
Our club with finished when ****s like this are starters.FFS the match isn't even finished yet
Be a man and be honest. Holding is a ffucking embarrassment.Our best defender today maybe, but fairly worthless moving the ball forward. Don't want to be too harsh given that none of our players were any good on the buildup though.
He is **** mate. Luiz is our best defender and it hurts me to say that.He is a good defender, least of our problems
Fans like you deserve this season.He is a good defender, least of our problems
