# Everton: Fans hammer Holgate comments

**Everton fans, it seems, are far from happy with comments from Mason Holgate after their 3-1 defeat against Manchester United.**

\[freshpress-quiz id=”313242″\]

After a positive start to the season that saw the Toffees win [four](https://www.evertonfc.com/results) matches in a row, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have now lost all of their last three games. They even took the lead in this latest clash through Bernard, but a Bruno Fernandes double and a strike from Edinson Cavani turned things around for the Red Devils.

Saturday was Holgate’s [first appearance](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mason-holgate/leistungsdaten/spieler/348623) of the season for the Goodison Park outfit. After the clash, the [£16.2m-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mason-holgate/marktwertverlauf/spieler/348623) defender (Transfermarkt) was asked about his thoughts on the defeat, and he [said](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1325785676701458433) that the players must now stay level-headed and know that they are good enough to turn things around.

This has not gone down well with the fans at all. They have demanded that Holgate and his teammates do their talking on the pitch rather than after the game – they took to Twitter to share their frustration.

### **Let’s see what the fans had to say about Holgate**

> Bingo!! I guessed it will be Holgate on Saturday who did the rallying call this week. If it wasn’t so sad and predictable, id be very happy.
