GeauxVilla Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 One has to wonder why we didn’t bite the bullet and pay for him in January... 1. AZ is competing for the title in the Netherlands and a spot in the champions league 2. Most have suggested it will take him time to adapt to the Premier League so would likely be off the pace now anyways I'm eager to see how he will handle the Premier League but personally from AZ I would have preferred Maher, Altidore, Moisander or Elm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 One has to wonder why we didn’t bite the bullet and pay for him in January... due to settling in issues would probably by 80 pages on how crap he is. Allow a little positivity first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 One has to wonder why we didn’t bite the bullet and pay for him in January... We might've tried, or maybe we didn't, but I think he'd still want to finish this season at AZ. I doubt he'd leave now, knowing they might win the dutch league. Weren't they still in Europe too at that time? And then there's always the probability that we hadn't seen him play at that time and weren't considering him at all. But God knows we could do with him atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Watching the game. Valencia looking good. AZ's macron kit is disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I don't want to go off topic and start talking about tonights game, im sure the match itself should be in a other football thread. But on Brett, I've tuned in simply to watch the guy, but valencia are so dominant i think it would be unfair to rate his performance. the whole AZ team have been anonymous.

Ginko Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Whereas Valencia have had most of the possession AZ have started coming back into it but Holman's not doing much. He's had a few bad first touches too. He's held back on the last couple of attacks too, so either he plays deeper than I thought he did or he's having trouble motivating himself in the first half. Not very impressive so far in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Keep the updates coming please as I'm not switching The Masters off for 4 days In that case you need some pro plus kid As i said mate, thus far its men against boys, AZ are being raped. As such its difficult to rate Brett because they simply haven't had the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Midfield, mainly in the centre but over to the left too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to judge imo They're the better team, but it's not like AZ haven't had the ball at all. They've started coming back into the game more. The whole team aren't playing particularly well, it's not just Holman. Just describing what I've seen from him so far, I don't think anyone is going to judge him based on 45 minutes of football. Although this is VT :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Left side of a front three or midfield ? Is he a winger ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this is VT :winkold: Im sure they won't CI asked the question ' what position is he playing?' we gave different answers, but in hindsight i think we are both correct, if thats possible. He clearly started on the left of a front three. however, such is valencias dominance he is dropping very deep, almost midfield. dare i say like gabby this year?

Ginko Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Agreed av1. I missed the first 5 minutes of the game so you're probably right, he probably was supposed to be up the field more but he's dropping deeper into the middle of the park. Hell, he was back in his own box defending right before halftime and nearly gave away a penalty. It was a dive though, Holman wasn't to blame.

Ginko Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Substituted at half-time by the way in case people aren't watching it but are interested. No reason for me to watch any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
