2021/22 Mason Holgate

[ToffeeTim]

Its a really stupid tackle but its a harsh red. Another one where there is little consistency shown.

The bigger issue i have is the level of his performances. They have been consistently terrible for well over a year. He should have been sold in the summer.

Cresswell has just done exactly the same and wasn't given a red.

It was a daft thing not to get his leg out of the way but there was no intent - albeit, intent shouldn't come into it.

The main issue was bringing him on in the first place. No need for it. Mad sub.

Well Norwich and Brighton enquired about him but he didn't want to go, he got over 3 years of his contract so can't force him out

I'm not watching but my mate literally just sent me that.

The issue i have is his level of performance. He doesnt deserve to play because he is consistently poor. He needs to be moved on because hes had plenty of opportunities.

An absolute disaster of a cameo that I hope puts to bed this bizarre myth that he can play in midfield.

He's just not good enough and was overhyped after only a handful of games.

 

[Sadken]

He's one of the worst players I have seen, can't pass, can't tackle, crap in the air, flat footed, no football brain, no awareness and Everton give him a big contract. Unbelievable.

Imagine being 25, PL player and highlight of your career is pushing someone into the stands. That's quality of our squad.

Shame he didnt put that foot on Son

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

He looked really good for a short time a few years back. I think. Can't really remember

I can remember, never been good

That’s where I have to disagree, I think it was very much intended, (which in itself we need a bit more of in the squad), to me he made absolutely no attempt to mitigate the ‘follow through’ which basically made the VAR and ultimately the refs decision easy.
His trailing leg even came off the floor after he cleared it, turning it into the old ‘out of control’ . That alone signalled his intent. Could have quite easily changed the dynamic of the contact but went studs up instead.
Would have looked better and left more on Hojlberg if he’d pulled his foot back and clatted into to his lower leg with his knee / shin.
Worst thing he was guilty of was a terrible effort at being a snide and signalling his intent.

 

[Blueclouds]

He rubbish anyway so won't be missed. He on my get rid list

He absolutely did intend it.

Hadn't Hojlberg just won the ball off him? I read it as a bit of petulant revenge.
