We could get battered with or without Holding in there, this is all pretty academic to me now. Holding is obviously not good enough but I don’t think he’s even been that bad across the last 3 games. I think these are games we could have dropped points in even with Saliba there, simply because they’ve succumbed to the pressure.

This game is about putting up a fight and going out on our shield.

Hopefully with the CL next season, we make some smart signings that can slot in and not have the technical level of the team suffer.
