Mason Holgate

[Billy Dean]

But we've never seen Holgate at centre back have we?

Definitely a risk.

More of a risk than playing Jags and Mori who we've seen have too many mistakes in them at the moment?

Lost Ulloa on more than one occasion today and was lucky not to be punished.

No worries pal. We have now and he's sound!

We havent.

He hasnt played in a back 4 as a CB yet.

His height isn't an issue for me, just his build makes me think he will be better suited to being a RB.

Don't mind him making mistakes and today he got lucky a couple of times but they weren't mistakes as in being a tit with the ball, plain and simple positional stuff which you only learn with game time against PL class players, some who are physical and others who are small and rapid.

Kid done well today, Williams would be a brilliant player to play alongside.

I think his frame will be fine. Height may be an issue but I think there is enough scope within defending for him to succeed either at centre back or right back.

I see him similar to Azpilqueta tbh.

I think he's brilliant myself. Miles ahead of Stones at same development stage and has shown more nous defensively in six months than many of our proven defenders.

Doubt we'll see that for a bit. Probably for the right reasons too.

Didn't he play centre half against Ibra at UTD friendly ? And West Brom away ?! Can't recall but convinced we have a little bit.

Can't remember the friendly too well but pretty sure he was RB at West Brom as Coleman was out.

Did lose Ulloa once or twice but other than that a great performance. Distribution wise he looked like Iniesta next to Funes Mori and Williams.

He started on the right of a three against West Brom with McCarthy having a mare at right back. He then moved to right back when McCarthy was taken off.

 

[jceverton]

We'll see mate

Koeman has barely had a chance to see him

When he does, I predict he'll like what he sees

Out of all the young players, he's the most ready

I think he was ready so his injury was a major blow, given the performances of Jagielka and Mori you'd like to think he'd have gotten a chance. Very good in the air as well. Hopefully he comes back and gets a chance.
