William Saliba (2)

[Salibatelli]

Is he still making videos of his mates wanking off?

No but he’s been playing very well week in week out, which is more important. Maybe we can sell him to pay for the fallout from the ESL, then next season rely on Holding and Chambers to maintain our midtable status.

Rob Holding is having a better season than Saliba but any excuse for a moan

Rob holding is rubbish always has been, we’re 9th in the league the guy has been nothing special and has been error prone, get rid.

Substandard players like him are holding (not pun intended) us back!

[Salibatelli]

Starmandb, how do you qualify that statement, that Holding is having a better season than Saliba? Saliba has been getting rave reviews in almost every game, Holding hasn't.

No precisely, Holding has been getting a fair amount of criticising with his mistakes, he’s hardly having a great season.

Saliba has been praised, granted it’s in the French league (2nd season running though), but then as he said Arteta never gave him the chance to prove himself in England, you can only perform where you’re allowed to.

Arteta the guy who has had us sitting midtable since he arrived decided he wasn’t up to it, please excuse me if I don’t trust the guys judgment.

Holding is having a good season if we keep in mind that he had a grand total of 38 PL matches under his belt coming into 20/21. This is his first season as a fully fit player since joining in 2016.

That said, he isn't on anyone's PL best XI, and Saliba likely has more top division experience despite being 6 years younger.

Liam Brady wasn’t a defender making errors costing goals every other game.

David O’Leary, Pat Rice & Peter Simpson were
But that blunt tool of yours will continue to bludgeon on a league position
Can you give me a breakdown of the errors in every other game where Holding made an error that lead to goals
Or is it just another negative figure of speech?
Seems a strange way to support a football team when we only have 70 odd summers on the earth

Neither is Rob Holding.

But don't let that get in the way of your making up stories to justify your moaning.

His mistakes are pretty well documented, ignoring that though the guy has been here for so many years and has never cut the mustard, you may be willing to give this guy endless time but I’m not, I’d rather have Saliba who is younger and is a superior talent IMO, regardless of what Arteta thinks.

You’re claim that Holding is having a better season than Saliba is easily refutable seeing as Holding never seems to get much praise whereas Saliba is almost every match.

Liverpool, City, Villa....holding has had 3 or 4 occasions where he's made the same mistake and lost his man in the box which has resulted in a goal. He shouldn't be getting out jumped by 5ft 7 Sterling. It was the same sort of mistake in short succession where he wasn’t aware of the threat around him.

[theHotHead]

The point here is, rob Holding has not amzed in performaces this season, he has not been a stand out, reports from France are that Saliba is putting in MoTM performances in games. Therefore the link we have is Holding is performing averagely and Saliba is performing brilliantly. differnt leagues, different teams, different circumstances.

What Holding does is basic beyond belief, he looks like any basic CB from any of the 4 divisions. Saliba looks like he has top class potential, he could become a Varane or Maldini. For that reason alone we should be playing him here in England, not in France where the football is different. Saliba is no more ready now than he was when we first bought him, all we have done is wasted 18-24 months of his Arsenal career.

And you don’t let anything get in your way of your condemnation of Saliba and defence of Arteta.

As for Holding, he’s been caught out plenty of times recently, whether it being out of position or just doing the wrong things.

Point is the guy is average and not good enough for a club of this stature, let him go and play Championship football which is perhaps a more appropriate level for a player of his ability.

[Phil71]

The schoolboy error Saliba made in the game against Rennes when he passed the ball out to a Rennes forward who went on to run on goal and score, or his awful performance against Brest where he got booked for a silly tackle whilst trying to recover from another error, then along with his defensive partner made two howlers that led to goals.

But hey yeah - he's the best thing since sliced bread if it suits the anti-Arteta agenda.

I criticise Saliba for his errors and defend Arteta against the sort of nonsense people like you throw out on a daily basis.

You on the other hand will take any and every opportunity to push your anti-Arteta agenda, even if it means unfairly slating our players.

[Salibatelli]

It’s not unfair, Holding is bang average and has been making errors.

I think we established it was a minor error at worst, he’s been great for Nice as everyone knows.

Arteta is now even saying he wants to bring him back, so even your golden boy accepts he was wrong, strange how you can’t.
