Mason Holgate

longers · April 23, 2017

Why would people write him off ? He's generally been good for us bar a few iffy moments. He's still a teenager...

If we can get Trippier we should get him.

Bit of a change for an Everton defender that.

Holgate will better than Stones within a couple of years.

Correct he is not a right back, but he is professional footballer who has got no idea how to cross the ball effectively.

Young lad who has qualities. He is a center back and we will need to invest in a right back (and left back for that matter) in the summer as he is nowhere near a top rightback. He cannot cross the ball and doesnt have attacking qualities. Would like to see him replace jags for last couple matches and put jj in right back.

defensively excellent today, that last ditch block was fantastic. Give him 2 games at cb as others have said now though

Should start at Centre back the next two games ahead of Jagielka or Williams

Rollo Tomassi · May 6, 2017

He is being played out of position and it shows particularly when he tries to attack it doesn't help that Baines on the opposite side constantly walks five yards forward and then passes back to Williams meaning more onus is on Holgate to get forward.

I didn't see Terry/Ferdinand/Adams/Bould and numerous Italian centre backs whipping in crosses either. The lad will be a top quality centre back, that's plain to see for me. Its time to move him there for the last couple of games and get Kenny in at RB to see how they both do.

Put him on the right side of a back three. Think he's perfect for that at this stage of his development.

Brilliant defender just horrendous at crossing the ball... considering he's a cb though it's nothing to worry about. Still boss

He is a great defender and actually has some skill on the ball. He plays more like a CB and he could probably fill in as a DM. If we had a winger ahead of him, he wouldn't be a liability as his defending is great.
