2023/24 Mason Holgate

[Marc bolan]

They won’t pick him again after that anyways

No but we will next season

 

[Blue 1]

Certain posters here would have you believe it was incredibly reckless to loan him out

I'd feel more confident playing Keane with medical boots on both feet over Holgate based on his past 2/3 seasons.

I hated seeing him on the team sheet. Absolute liability. At least Keane has the odd goal in him.

Agent Holgate, keep up the good work.

And to think folk worried when Thelwell sent him to a relegation rival.

….tbf, I think that was only me & I still feel that way.

I can’t say I was 100% comfortable with it myself at the time - but it’s looking like a masterstroke in hindsight!

He’s a walking disaster. He couldn’t get a game for Southampton… it’s no surprise now although just a shame because he once showed potential.

imagine this backline

Martina-Holgate-Keane-Alcaraz

him and Galloway were destroyed by this club

 

[Nymzee]

He helped one of our relegation rivals get thumped today. Build a statue don't criticise him you fannies.

 

[DanB90]

You'd be amazed at how that kind of faux-macho homoerotic stuff works with many Evertonians. See also Muhamed "Mo" Besic.

…a difference of opinion;

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder on Mason Holgate's red card: "Well, maybe as a player that played for quite a long time, you would think that's an OK challenge - a strong and competitive challenge.

"But I think we all have to admit, me included, the game has moved on.

"It was a mistimed tackle and the correct decision was made.

"Mason has to take the responsibility that his decision has hurt us and the gameplan goes out of the window after that.

"As Sheffield United, you have to get the gameplan spot on against Brighton - you have to get it spot on against Brighton if you're Manchester City, Liverpool or Spurs - because of what they can do against you in terms of opening you up.

"It's difficult when things like that - which, of course, was self inflicted - go against you."


Sheffield United captain Anel Ahmedhodzic on Mason Holgate's dismissal: "The red card killed the game, killed our plan and killed everything we worked for.

"If you ask my opinion I don't think it is a red card. I don't want to say more.

"From what I saw on the pitch I don't think it was [a red card]. Maybe the replay seems harsher than it is.

"But from my view on the pitch I thought it was a fair tackle."

He's turned into a proper calamity. Not saying he was ever amazing, but he really has gone off a cliff. When you consider he wasn't brilliant before, isn't really what you want in your defence.

Wasn't he booed off in his last Goodison appearance?
