For me Holman is the equal of James Milner, we're lucky to have him.

That might be going a bit far.

Wasn't till i got home and saw 'lowlights' of the villa wigan that Holman hit the bar i amongst others down the other end had seen it as a shot that went for a throw ! I often notice holman runs around and often past opponents something i never seen many other players do - and he's the experience (in age)
brett has come out and said that could do with a few signings of experience to tell lads to stay calm players who have 200-300 premier league games..
That makes sense. Maybe timmy cahill another Aussie will come in.

Gary Neville ain't a bad egg, is he? Punditry-wise, like. Compare his knowledge to Gobby Ravage.

as you wrote before neviller said it was good to have the younger players this season wow that just says alot of the obvious said that last few season had too many old players and now with all these young players we are better ??
He just copy the idea of lamberts young and hungary vision.  No thought.

Gary Neville is like so many is cliche and overated -says what he sees.. That analysis on young players  being full of energy changes to inexperience players when losses occurs.. Today neviller spoke drivel about raheem sterling just before start to qpr match. Said passed many test already this season and this could be hardest as it was an emotional test as 'probably' all his friends and family would be there.
Okay this is for another thread but likes of Pat Nevin and Steve claridge offer alot more in my opinion. Pat nevin especially.

Found the thread...


Any how



In all seriousness, after a promising start working his nads off, what has happened to Holman!!! He is completely anonymous when he comes on, did not touch the ball yesterday and was woeful at Albion.

Agreed, I went OTT about him before xmas on account of some decent games at QPR, Liverpool and Norwich. In reality a very limited player who I'd imagine very few clubs outside of eredivise will be interested in signing him in the summer (same as KEA).

Those will be our experienced players in the championship.

Having watched him this season, I just don't think he has got the ability on the ball to play in a central position.  Not sure what he is like out wide, but that is the only role I can see him playing.

His touch is shocking and he seems to have lost his work rate, so is now absolutely hopeless.

Holman has lost his main asset and that's his workrate and pressing on opponents. He was utterly invisible yesterday when he came on, just have to wonder wth has happened to him.

He was ace for an hour at Norwich, was influential in the Liverpool win, and has been utterly gash every time I've seen him since.

Worse than useless coming on as a sub, useful when he starts, the evidence would suggest
