The No Holding back game.
I'm fairly comfortable with him at home against Leeds. I think/hope that with the rest of the team fit, he'll have an easier challenge out there. It's one game against not very good opposition.
But that being said, it is the premier league, and Bournemouth showed us recently how extremely squeaky bummy things can get, even when we had a full strength first team. The gap in quality between Holding and Saliba is in my mind as bad as that between Partey and the current Crystal Palace loanee, and former Anderlecht star, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and we don't have a Jorginho stopgap for the position. We will lose a lot in terms of physicality, speed, and our ability to play out of defence effectively. Crucial we approach the game with the right mindset and focus, and get the breakthrough nice and early.
4-0 Arsenal. Starboy (2), Jesus, Martinelli
Looking forward mostly to seeing how Goldilocks' hair holds up to the spring rainshine conditions.
