Holding your horses. He's not there yet @Parvez-Drupesh
He deserves ti start but he can start the final if England look like winning it. Let him rest.Holding not starting again for the second game of the tournament... Am I missing something? Surely on form he is one of the best CBs in the tournament, let alone the England squad.
Not an incorrect analysis but one that should include the context in which it occurred. The manager should not have put out a back 3 where the only recognizable CB was a 21 year old kid. His passing was sloppy to be sure BUT it would be grossly unfair not to mention the pressure he was under from Bellerin's complete dereliction of duty as well as being the only one in the back line with any height and thus trying to be in too many places at once. He was bad but he was not put in a position to succeed either.Roberto Holdini?
More like Bobby Senderos.
Amidst all the relief at the result, I think it bears mention that that was one of the worst CB performance I've seen at Arsenal in a long time.
I expected him to be the most comfortable centre back out there seeing as he was our only natural centre back. At 22 you expect better from him especially with the basic stuff. He need Per and Kos to keep him focused.Roberto Holdini?

I think we can draw comparisons to Montreal of early last season here. Having little support from the players around you (notably Iwobi from Monreal, and Bellerin for Holding) makes your job much more difficult in multiple facets of the game. It means you're stuck defending against more numbers, and have more difficulty picking out others when in possession. Overall, I think this games' issues came from individual errors and we shouldn't be too worried yet, because this looks starting 11 looks nothing like our best. I'm taking Holding's performance with a grain of salt.
