Eh overall when we played with 3 at the back Holgate always looked the most assured for me. Just feel his actual ability to turn something Mina and Keane struggle with was a necessity when dealing with Sane, Mahrez and Jesus.
This isnt the right thread but I don’t know who does better than Gylfi.
I'm not advocating for Holgate to start games mate, unless it's in a back 3. For the most part everytime he has played in a back 3, he has played well. Including an immense performance against City at Etihad (ignoring his headed clearance). If anything his biggest strength is composure on the ball, which would have been nice against the City press.
I’ve never understood the Holgate is good in possession thing. I guess he takes more touches and looks kind of smooth with it but his decision making and accuracy are woeful. Keane is our best ball player at the back imo. Mina is good too but Keane plays some really solid line splitting balls.
You're in the Gylfi thread giving it beans about how Gylfi needs to be sold but you're in here saying sensationalist nonsense like "he looks ace at RCB". When? How? He's done absolutely nothing to warrant your praise, certainly not when contextualising against your view of Sig'.
