Mason Holgate

People prematurely claiming Holgate will be better than Stones is a bit reminiscent of Kopites claiming Ibe will be better than Sterling. Embarrassing.

It's abit different, total different position and only a year younger then sterling where holgate plays the same position and is two years younger. Holgate potential is just as good as Stones.
 
Looks a good solid defender which is primarily what we need from defenders. Made a mistake for the goal but was otherwise exemplary in a game that we were under high amounts of pressure.
 
...clearly very talented but I still wonder if his physicality will restrict his ability to play CB at the highest level. From what I saw, though, he did well yesterday. I wouldn't blame him too much for the Spurs goal, Lamela did what good forwards do to get in front of the defender and dispatch a fine header.

We're did he make a mistake mate? Lamela came In unmarked free header are 3 center backs just didn't go with the runner. ( which happened a lot last season ) that aside I thought he was pretty impressive.

When you say physicality, surely he can hit the weights as hes only 19?
 
....yep, I think you're right. Kevin Ratcliffe wasn't the tallest but he had bulk, I suspect Holgate is naturally lithe but as you say, he's only young and can fill out.

I think he went from 5'11 to 6'3 suddenly didnt he? So im confident we havent seen the last of him growing...wont ever be a huge monster but doesnt need to be.
 
Must be a big boost for him that Koeman comes in and straight away sees it in him.

Another good game for him yesterday. As well as all the physical attributes he seemingly has to adapt to Premier League football he most importantly seems to have the most important non physical one; temperament.

Hope he will develop.

But he's only 19 mate so he's still growing as such wants he fills out and is at the gym loads.... we will have a better player

Think it was him who gave the ball away that led up the the goal. Also thought it was too easy for lamella to get infront of him. Don't get me wrong I thought he was superb for his age and experience and he's a definite option at the back.
