Rob Holding: Robbing a Living?

[DJ_Markstar]

Not sure what people expect from a 4th choice centre half when you aren't a top 10 club in Europe. Holding is fine for that role as things stand.

We'll be a top 10 club in Europe by most metrics by the end of this season, and I still think Holding is fine as 4th choice. You'd worry if he was higher up the pecking order, but he's fine as he stands.

Top squad player to have, probably would start for many other clubs in the PL.

Won nearly everything in first half.

 

[Riou]

Proving what a useful squad player his is, played well in every game...shows how much we have missed Mo during this period too.

He wouldn’t tho would he

I like Bob H, top bloke

But if we are talking starting quality in the league he is firmly in the Fulham Bournemouth bracket

A complete rock defensively (as usual), so composed, whilst again like one of the many other peformances he has produced that destroys the myth that he's "poor on the ball" and "can't pass" - in particular in the first half pinging passes to Saka like a prime Bonuccci.

Best English CB there is at present.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I don't think there are too many 4th choice CB's better than Holding.

He knows his role, doesn't kick up a fuss being a squad player, does pretty well against non top, top sides.
Good player to bring on to sure up a 1-0 lead with 10 minutes to go etc.

Always need a couple of Rob Holding types in a good squad.

Holding to make a late push for the England squad????

Joe Gomez, John Stones, Fikayo Tomori & even tho hes not playing there right now, Ben White.

Mings & Coady also but they are in crap teams.

All ahead of our Rob, but I like him, a solid pro who loves playing for the club & being one of the senior players.

Honestly, he's the Elneny of our defence. With the added benefit of being HG.

England could have prime Baresi and Maldini and Southgate would still pick the useless Maguire and Dier ahead of them.

Gomez - too error prone.

Stones - too patchy in form, always has been.

Tomori- I can't comment on his recent form as I haven't seen him.

Mings - I used to rate him very highly but he has declined horribly this season and has been very poor.

Coady - I rate him but Holdini is better.

I respect your opinions but I disagree with them.

I'm glad hes a Gunner tho. You sense hes an important guy at training & in the dressing room.

 

[REWB]

This guy is laughable might be his last ever game for us me thinks. No reason to play him. Just play Tomiyasu and White as our third/forth choice cbs.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

How much faith we need to have on this guy? It's clear he not so good any game against good opponents away from home he make our defense look like pub league.

Don't know what he was doing at first goal why he was standing watching and not put pressure on the attacker. Not to mention the offside goal we conceded.

 

[Entropics]

The way he just went to hug Simons at the break after getting ruined on that offside goal was hilarious, would probably have been murdered here for that if he was a foreigner

 

[Vinci]

Baldini was better. He's afraid heading a ball will ruin his hair now.

@BigPoppaPump What’s with *this* thread title?

Tomiyasu can play CB hopefully we dont play Holding there anymore.
