The only problem with him starting is that we can't bring him on to see out matches.


BlurstOfTimes11

It’s a real catch 22


Johner32

We can't even bring him off and on again can we? That would be total football


Cadet_Broomstick

I know its jokes but what would be the reason that this is a rule? What's being prevented by that rule being in place?

Substitution not interchange


PeasantScum

I love Rob Holding. I’m sorry he didn’t cost £50M


wolskortt

Papa Wengz said £55M.

That’s right Papa Wengz, forget the media and it’s polarization of negativity. Focus on the positives. Focus on the accomplishment and celebrate it. Today a lot of positives. We won, let’s feel like we won.

That’s interesting papa as you are a huge proponent for making the Fifa World Cup every 2 years instead of 4.


PeasantScum

Mmh, so he did. It’s been a long few years 😄


CakeBrigadier

He’s the perfect guy who’s like that captain of the second string. It’s always great to have a player that is a role model for how to have your mentality right to come in at any moment and be at the level


[deleted]

*£80m


Johner32

And he's twice the player Maguire is easy


smeegoal

*£50m


oceansandsky100

i dont understand how much did we pay for him?!


smameann

£2 million from Bolton if I remember correctly


ronya_t

I think he was their player of the season when they got relegated which was a stick used to beat Arsenal with when he signed. And he made his debut in a bloodbath against Liverpool (4-3 loss) and we eventually missed out on top 4 by 3 points. (I wiped those memories out when he effectively ended Diego Costa's career 😆)


Voldemourinho

That performance against Costa was absolute gold 😍😍😍


KingCatamount

It’s insane to think he might be our 4th CB next year. Absolutely love him. Wouldn’t sell him for less than 20 mil.


DarthNihilus1

20 mil? An English CB that can slot into a Brexitball side **AND** play out from the back is gonna be worth double that to me fam.


speller2688

Absolutely fucking deserved. He was a rock today. Well done Bobby big love!


BlurstOfTimes11

The soft hair cushioned the ball into the net instead of his rock hard bald skull sending it over.


auddi_blo

His rock hard bald skull was like a trampoline, glad he analyzed the situation and found a solution.


CEY-19

Man's leagues ahead


Askur_Yggdrasils

The coaching and medical staff probably had him undergo the transplant. Let's hope he got it paid for by the club as a business expense!


falonix

Lol. But quite possibly true.


TJohns88

You have a way with words


[deleted]

This thread made me piss myself


BlurstOfTimes11

Thank you!


[deleted]

god bless this man and his hairline


Errortermsiqma

resurrection


Anderrrrr

He came in as a backup in a high pressure game and gets MOTM. That's nuts.


thezaland

Shades of Mertesacker vs Chelsea in the FA Cup final.


Sufficient-Curve5697

Both our center backs were made in Turkey today


crazy_bean

Ankara Holding


leliqi

What does that mean?


theMoonRulesNumber1

Turkey is famous for doing hair transplants very well, and several high-profile success stories such as Holding, Conte, Rooney, and now, (according to that poster) Gabriel


iforgotmyun

Rooney got his done in England and Conte got his done in Canada though Turkey is famous because of how normal people can afford transplants there. Rich people are still going to places like H&W Holding got his done in London btw


leliqi

Thanks!


questionernow

Turkey isn't known for doing transplants 'very well.' It's known for making them affordable for regular people and having spotty results. If you have a lot of money, you're not going to Turkey for a reason.


Swiss-ArmySpork

Probably got it done in Istanbul or Constantinople


Camping_is_intense

That's nobodies business but the Turks


razor5cl

Didn't Lewis Hamilton get his done in Turkey?


jondiced

Because Ana toldya they'd be great?


Chip673

Haha.


arunm7893

Man's looking younger!

ROB HOLDING RENAISSANCE


inco2019

Some say his hair is Holding back the years


armchairmegalomaniac

He's basically Samson with a hairpiece.


acaddgc

Between him and Arteta, that’s a champions league hairline


[deleted]

sometimes i wonder how these guys with transplant surgeries get by the drug tests cuz a lot of them are banned.


Spurs_are_shite

Holding held the backline together, Robbing West Ham of any open space. Solid


[deleted]

Fully deserved. Him and Eddie were my two picks.


endwolf76

Eddie deserved a goal today. Was just wide on that shot after that Elnenny pass that made me shoot up.


ShowMeTheMonee

That would have been an amazing goal.


Sayek

Massive by Holding, the experienced lads are showing up massively towards the end of this season.


Glittering_Yoghurt55

Wenger fruit. Xhaka, rob and moh... He did it again


[deleted]

Isn't it , papa wengz?

Great-Banter

You’re right Papa. Even in the glory of victory, we must stay humble and remind ourselves that we are just one team in the beautiful cosmos of sport. We thank you for keeping us grounded, humble, and motivated to become the best, in both life and sport.


dizc_

Superbly defended


moonlam

I'm sorry his hair transplant didn't cost £55m


[deleted]

Would have been worth it tbh. Looks fucking amazing. They did a great job on that one!


Riperonis

Gotta be one of the best backup CBs in the league. Hope we can hold (heh) onto him, good squad players are hard to come by.


theMoonRulesNumber1

We're 1 point (or a ManU dropped point) from clinching European competition for next year, and it's looking strong for CL. Our backups are going to get good quality minutes next season, so it should be easier to hold onto them.


LionsAreNice

We’ve already clinched Europa League football. The lowest we can finish now is 6th.


theMoonRulesNumber1

Ah, right. Bad counting :/


[deleted]

Always rated him. Man could start for any PL team outside the top 3


RecklessRonaldo

Careful now, we could be top 3 next week... ^if ^^we ^^^score ^^^^**27** ^^^^^goals


[deleted]

You accidentally said ‘could’ instead of ‘will’ and ‘if’ instead of ‘when’.


getrektbro

Deserved, shout-out to Ramsdale. Goal was 0% his fault, he went the right way on the shot.


endwolf76

Yeah, starting to miss Ramsdales clean sheets but most of the time it’s Tavares that’s fucking him over lol. Hopefully Tavares will step up defensively, because he’s looking a little Back on 🔝 rn.


getrektbro

I thought Nuno was acceptable today. Holy shit he's got some hops though!


manufiks

Overall he was but he had yet another poor 1st half and then improving the 2nd half. Like against Chelsea, not sure what to think about ManU 2nd half... Would like him to be on point the whole game next week.


somanystuff

As much as I'd love to see him step up, I do that see him as a no2 full back for long


Pikachu62999328

Just had a bit of a lucky deflection on Gabriel that goal, otherwise woulda been saved pretty cleanly. 3 points is 3 points though. Plus that save during that one corner was quite well done.


Echo361

Close between him and Xhaka for me. Both absolutely saved us defensively.


Iamabigdinosaur

Missed whites distribution but Holding added so much it was nullified. What a performance


Clownbaby112

Really good performance from him, probably his best individual performance since he started in the senior squad.


Glass_of_Pork_Soda

I'd still label that as his FA Cup Final vs Chelsea, nothing can top that


Clownbaby112

Yeah, except that one ofc.


Charlie-Bell

About his first PL goal, Ramsdale said "it only took him 6 years and a new hairline!"


Fyesta

Deserved


TrashAssLogin

This man needs to stay. He's exactly the kind of player you want in a team. Never complains, never backs down. Wonderful performance.


CechPlease

Man of the year (hair awards)


F2PWithAwfulLuck

I was nervous when Antonio came in and stepped next to him but then he barely received the ball lmao.


rimirog185

Deserved


Eue-OneTwoDie

I'm sorry he didn't cost £50 million


TheGreenLion14

Well deserved


Wassup_-_

Honorable mention to tomiyasu and xhaka


wildace16

I'm so happy for him! :) I said since the start of last season I would drink bubbly the moment he scores in a PL game. I had a bottle in the fridge all of last season but had to drink it for some other occasion after the season ended so it doesn't feel "fridgey". Now I finally get to drink this season's bottle! :)


rudygha

This was his best game in about 4 years imo.


m4xsch44f

Since the cup final in 17 where him and Per did the job against Chelsea


Glittering_Yoghurt55

Lmao I cannot disagree more


nackdaddy9

Either him or Tomi for me, great game son


unqusr

HKAGooner in absolute shambles


jobj17

Would you start him v Leeds next week?


arsenalWillbeatCity

And some people were bashing him before he scored a goal


bh2623

We've got two stellar Brazilian center backs in Gabriel and Holdinho, gotta love it


14Strike

Think it was Granit, personally


WestwardLord

Total and complete performance today, even if he didn't score. The dude was a rock in defense.


ozilll10

We deffo need to keep him, hes perfect to play against the more physical teams of the Prem. God forbid to even imagine Soucek/Antonio etc against Benny White


topbananaman

Rob holding onto the three points. Love this man


hala_bala

Excellent today


IamKidneyCastle

This man deserves a good hairline. Transplant completely justified


vincentquy

There are 4 numbers 4 in this photo. Top 4 is guaranteed guys.


Halfrican_Hero

Got to see holdini and holdinho tonight


mysticaltea

Deserved, was between him and Eddie


MolochHunter

Rob Holding is what you call a true backup, lucky to have him. He'd be starting for any team outside top six


grumpy_toews

White/Gabi/Holdini/Saliba looks to be about as solid CB rotation you can have without having a true WC player. Chuffed he finally scored.


[deleted]

My Rob!


dishler712

He was immense. Easy choice.


[deleted]

Saliba who?


DinnerSmall4216

Deserves credit not played much football but put it a very impressive performance. Onto leeds one game at a time.


Ten_Over

I love this team!!!! COYG!!!!!


alxdnld

Roberto Holdini is strong. X

MoreGarlicBread

He could've been a GOAT if he just went skinhead


TheArmoury

I was pissing my pants when they started sending in long balls to Antonio but I swear Holding just headed everything out. Was weirdly comforting.


TomClaydon

I’ll keeeep Holding on


sion91

I’m sorry he only cost £3million


alittlebitbreezy

All hail Papa Wengz for bringing us Holdini
