What do we want here? An Evertonian showing precious ability at Full back in his international age group and playing a leading role in taking Everton to winning the PL2 title or a more experienced pro in the same position who used to be managed by our current gaffer.
Without being too forward, it's a no brainier for me. Seamus will be back to reclaim his spot; so it's a question of Premiership and Europa League deputisation we are debating.
Holgate, like Galloway before him has shown that learning the craft of a FB before moving more centrally is not a bad option. Lescott did it, to a lesser extent Browning, Jagielka, Heitinga, Ratcliffe.
Let Kenny develop as a fullback in the white hot atmosphere of the Premiership. I saw the game today - in SE Asian conditions - he was head and shoulders MotM.
I'd have played him at Anfield - he's a more natural fullback than Holgate, Browning, Davies etc.
No particular dislike of the Southampton lad, but the bigger picture here is to show a pathway to the first team if you are good enough.
