2022/23 Mason Holgate

[CielosGrises]

I was fuming when I saw him in the team again - then realised Myko was injured.

He may not be a lot of things, but Holgate definitely isn't a left back so he needs a little slack.

Doesn't look good I agree, but Haaland was Tarkowski's man. Lost him totally

Haaland found the channel between fullback and defender. Classic CF play.

Mykolenko does no better there.

Yep. It was a great ball in and even if he'd kept on Haaland, it would have been tough for Tarkowski (for whichever fullback had they moved in) to have stopped him there

Pickford ranted at him at one point snd called him a s###out

Dyche was going nuts at him when got skinned then a crap challenge gave a free kick on the edge of the box. Dyche didnt know whether to rant and ball at Colgate or shout to Coady who was warming up to come back and get ready to go on.

Holgate was gash, nowhere near the standard needed

Agree with this btw - said it when he was subbed off that the boos in the ground were too much.

Don't agree with it

He didn't pick himself. The questions should be asked of the manager who selected him.

There are just way too many players at this club who aren't good enough, and should have been let go years ago, but the constant churn of managers means they keep getting more chances, but they aren't good enough to take them. It's just a sign of how the club is not functioning how it should be. It's on the club and managers more than the players,

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Thought he was done after Palace away,dreadful footballer who cannot do the basics with a ball at his feet,more than that he is a defender who cannot defend,so,so lucky to have bought the golden ticket by signing for Everton,other clubs would have shipped this clown out years ago.

I agree, poor lad is only human But, these managers play him. Today it’s on Sean Dyche who put someone who is out of their depth on that pitch in front of fans who have paid their hard earned money to watch rubbish.
Maybe just maybe this might be the catalyst for Mason to go looking for football at a level he’s more comfortable at and I’d wish him well.
That said, paying fans are entitled to voice their opinion.

Holgate isn't a footballer, so let's all give him a little slack.

Maybe his heart is in the right place but he isn’t good enough. Tough that he got booed but goes with the territory I suppose

Im no Holgate fan whatsoever but Goodison has been a toxic place for years now. At our best the fans are amazing but sadly we've destroyed the confidence of a number of managers/players.

Silva/Benitez were worn down as managers and a number of players of ours have been booed which is not on - Schneiderlin, King Salamon now Holgate.

Exactly. These guys are handsomely rewarded for their efforts/talent. If either are found wanting, they still get paid regardless. I doubt many of them are emotionally invested in our survival to the extent the supporters are either.

It's a job.

Schneiderlein was a different case for me. He was a good player but his effort levels were not there, and the crowd will always remind players if they are not putting in a shift.

Goodison is not toxic at all. The fans have standards and we expect the bare minimum of commitment with a little bit of quality mixed in. We should not allow those who run the club to lower those standards even more

Don't agree with booing any players. But I do agree that he isn't good enough. And sadly we had no other option. Unless we looked to our youth team

Correct. We’re past the point of worrying about peoples feelings unfortunately.
I saw it as a powerful statement to the Manager so that we don’t drop out of this league by him selecting someone who everyone else can see isn’t up to the job.
