West Ham United fans have been calling for Nathan Holland’s inclusion in the first team on Saturday after scoring frequently for the U23’s.
Holland has scored nine goals in 11 games in the Premier League 2, the 21-year-old has also managed seven assists. He’s currently played 847 minutes in the left-wing position, which is the same as struggling Felipe Anderson.
Would you play Nathan Holland?
Yes
No
Great hit!
Holland goes a mesmerising run infield from the left, before crisply hitting it into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. #COYI 1-1 (33) pic.twitter.com/LtuHwLyMoV

Shock he does it again. Get him in the senior squad Saturday

Not including young players when you’re losing games really makes no sense, we really can’t work out why Manuel Pellegrini wouldn’t do it.
Get him in the squad, would rather see him than Anderson.

Seriously don’t know what he has to do to earn a first team call up has blistering pace, tricky with the ball great finisher. Would be a much better option than Anderson

What Do We Think?
We would 100% play Nathan Holland, even if Manuel Pellegrini just gave the 21-year-old a spot on the bench. Dropping Felipe Anderson for a youth player is highly unlikely, which would also be pretty embarrassing for the Brazilian. Let’s see if he starts on Saturday, although you shouldn’t hold your breath.
