I just didnt see him moving to RB as anything other than a temporary necessity at first, never would have seen it going so well that basically nobody would want to move him back to the centre.
I wonder if Arteta always intended this for him, or if he did it temporarily but quickly realised he was on to a good thing and ran with it. Not to suggest for a second that he deserves any less credit if the latter is the case.
Worth 50 million, or no?
With a multiplier. Really wrong about this signing. White has been terrific.
I honestly thought the same. Geniunely thought we’d be found out with him eventually on the right and it couldn’t be further from the case. He looks an absolute animal playing there and now that he’s adding more output he genuinely is one of the best fullbacks playing in the league right now.
I’m sure there probably was an element of luck to Arteta trying this out but it takes courage to make these decisions in the first place

Unsung hero of todays match.
Really? Didn’t see anything stand out tbh.
Thought he had a rough first half. Was a bit better in the second, but far below his usual form.
Thought he was out of position for their first goal, got booked, not sure it was a great day. Maybe it was a competent performance? I’m sure Tierney was bricked up at the thought of sending someone off.
One of the few games where I wasn’t impressed by White. Offered little going forward and left loads of space.
I think he suffered a bit from getting booked so early.
I actually thought he was the best of our back four today.
They all had their moments. White took an early booking, Holding conceded the penalty, Zinchenko looked a little gassed on the second goal, Gabriel looked out of position at points.
Thought he had a bad game
Sloppy on the ball, out of position
Hopefully it was a one off as we need him on top form going into the rest of the games
I think he was handcuffed by that yellow card. We know he’s a pretty dirty player and whether or not that card was warranted (I think if he gets a yellow than Konate sure as shit should have had one) it limits the type of game he can play. If Tomiyasu wasn’t made of papier-mâché he would have been on at halftime.
I’m not so sure, I’m talking basic stuff where he was sloppy with the ball or kept giving it away
A yellow card doesn’t affect that
