lexicon Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well.. this is getting a little embarrassing/hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I agree. He cost nothing and has done very well so far. A nice little parting gift from McLeish which Lambert has already acknowledged. Which was about the only good thing the word removed left, and even then I'd give more credit to Numan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Excellent, glad to see those stats. Got a link? And got a link to the Four Four Two stats that showed his high pass completion percentage? Genuinely interested to see them As I said it's a phone app. It was all about the finish, but still he gets an assist at Liverpool. That's equal second on assists with Westwood, behind Benteke.

jadenb42 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Great work by him for the 3rd goal chases down anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 have to say he isnt the best technician but has decent ability and an awesome workrate. McLeish should be proud he left some sort of positivity when he left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Two assists yesterday is nothing to sneeze at. It was typical play from him that created the opportunity for the 3rd and his run pulled away Skirtel to leave Benteke clear through as well.

blandy Posted December 16, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2012 Like a lot of the players, now that confidence is improved, we're seeing more than just effort. He's scored a couple of belting long rangers and is contributing a lot to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 His work for the third goal was outstanding. Really growing to Holman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I said this in the match discussion threead too, but I might as well say it here too. He didn't just pass the ball to Benteke for his goals, he also took an immediate run to get into a good position which made it harder for the liverpool defence to defend. How many times do we see a player that gets the ball to one of our strikers and then just stands there watching what happens? Far too often in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of movement have been one of our biggest problems in recent seasons. Too many players standing still when passing and receiving the ball. To use the worst example possible just look at Barca. Their biggest strenght (apart from Messi) is their constant movement, it makes it easier for the players to find an open teammate and it makes it harder for the opponents to defend. This is one area where Holman is very good and i guess this it's one of the skills you pick up when getting your schooling in Holland, just sub him when he's tired or throw him in when the opposition is and he'll be very usefull. Limited player but very usefull when played to his strenghts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited player but very usefull when played to his strenghts That was the problem against Stoke as well, even though Holman played in that game too, he didn't move enough up the field to the border of the penalty box or inside the penalty box, Lambert probably saw that and told him to get involved.

PussEKatt Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I like his workrate and he is always looking to score.He has improved a lot since august.I said he would be a decent signing once he got used to the Premier League and it looks like I was right.

DamsonwoodVillan Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Holman caused Pool a lot of problems on Saturday and the 3rd goal was a great bit of counter-attacking play from him. Unless Ireland or N-Zogbia do something really special when they get a chance, for me Holman is an important name in our starting 11. The 3-5-2 formation I think we have players that do suit it, with Holman Zog and Ireland certainly being good examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
