Everton: Loads of fans loved Mason Holgate’s performance against Manchester United
Everton were unable to hold out for a victory when they drew 1-1 against Manchester United on Sunday. According to WhoScored, they only had 33.5 per cent possession and eight shots compared to United’s 24, but fans will feel hard done by not to come away with a win after being 1-0 up with 15 minutes to play.
Should Duncan Ferguson be made permanent manager?
Yes
No
One certain positive to come out of the game was the performance of Mason Holgate. The Liverpool Echo labelled it a “performance to remember”, rating him 8/10 and saying “he was the calmest man in possession for both sides”. It’s even more impressive that he’s a natural centre-back, having played there on nine occasions this season.
The club’s official Twitter account posted some stats on Twitter which included the fact he won seven duels and made two interceptions. Fans noticed what a great game he’d had too, and were quick to heap praise on the 23-year-old in the replies section for the way he played.

Thought he played really well, and a very good team performance considering the injuries we have, think we should give Ferguson a chance till the summer and see how it goes

Seeing Mason grow in stature & confidence in his role has been an absolute joy to watch imo. Just love the lad! 💙⚽️👏💙

I thought he played really well. Positionally he was fantastic to say it was a late change to put him in the middle of the park.
Always admired his confidence too.
