Mason Holgate

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Fans sure do love to overrate young players.

And some others seem determined to not give them a chance either

Surely there's some sort of middle ground that can be found?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Oh not go the Everton game that weekend?

Well, he lives in another country, so I'm going with B, "Probably Not", Chris

 

[Walter Ego]

He got dropped on the assumption he's not yet ready, even though along with Gueye he'd been our best play by that point.
Surprise surprise he comes on and carries on where he left off. If he doesnt start next game the mind boggles.

Sorry for not knowing the life story of some members like....

I think he's played good mate, and I hope he continues to do so if Coleman is injured. I think Coleman, when healthy, is the better player.

I mean, he's made it clear numerous times that he's a septic like. I'm surprised you hadn't clocked it tbh, you just have to look at the "World Football" forum

Sort it out Barney, no excuse for not doing your research!

The middle ground is saying Holgate should be starting and Davies deserves more sub appearances to show if he should start or not.

With this kid around, I'm generally not worried if Seamus misses a game or two

 

[bazzer25]

He can actually cross as well, should be playing week in week out.

 

[arch stanton]

i liked that he gave Martial (i think) a real good dig from behind in the minutes after he came on. He may be young but he's got a bit about him. Rest Coleman net week with the christmas games coming up and holgate will perform OK

I get all the Coleman shouts, but that ignores the fact Holgate can play at CB too

Williams and Holgate in the middle would be just fine IMO

 

[Azzurri]

Mason la, what a fella.

Make him captain now.

Holgate has totally shown Koeman up.

Davies would show him up too if he got a chance instead of Cleverley ffs

This doesnt make any sense Zat.

Koeman has kept Holgate on the bench all season, when Coleman was injured earlier on in the season Holgate was the first player he turned to, along with today.

You act like Koeman only plays Holgate when he doesnt have a choice, but today he had the club captain and James Mccarthy on the bench, both who could have come on before Holgate, yet Holgate was who he turned to.

How does it show him up exactly? He has picked him , praised him , included him in the squad and played him . He is following the accepted pathway for a young player being gradually brought into a team. Why start him over Coleman who is an experienced talented PL full back, especially when Holgate is primarily a CB. It's particularly ironic that Coleman was once in the same position with us crying for him to get more game time, yet when he got it he still made mistakes. Now Coleman is not flavour of the month in true fashion people turn on him and demand the latest young player replace him. In 8 years time you'll probably be criticising Holgate and demanding the latest young thing replace him forthwith, pathetic.
Ahem.....that said Holgate is brilliant and yes I'd like to see Davies used more.
