Benjamin White (4)

Fucking shocking first half from him

Fuck, was it? Didn’t think he was that bad

Shocking is a reach, lol.

He was responsible for the goal but hardly a shocking performance so far.

That situation aside, he and Saliba have sussed out every attempt from Man Utd to find Rashford.

(I’ve jinxed him now)

Tell Southgate to fuck off and the announce it

All my Utd friends are saying White is a poor defender and knowing Arteta he’ll be replaced within 18 months.

Not sure how much I agree/disagree here.

If we’re looking to level up with each cycle of the process, then eventually every player we have will either need to level up or move on.

Right now, it seems Ramsdale’s under threat, but next I can see it being our CB options.

Arteta has a habit of cleaning up the squad every once in a while so we don’t end up like Liverpool/Chelsea who have to do a full re-build every 3 years.

United would kill to have a defender as good as White.

Sounds like they don’t have a clue which isn’t uncommon amongst United fans

As a RB, I can maybe understand why he’s not picked. Trent, Walker, Trippier and James (okay he’s injured) are all brilliant RBs.

But England are weak at CB. How White doesn’t get in over Maguire is utterly baffling.

Can’t complain from an Arsenal perspective though. He’ll be well rested which ofc suits us.

Aren’t there reports he fell out with Southgate?

I’m like you, ultimately. Not that I care less about England and their shitty shenanigans. Less England equals more Arsenal.

The rumour was he had a bust-up with Steve Holland

What’s the attraction playing for England in meaningless friendlies or qualifiers against farmers league players?

The more of our players having his attitude and snubbing international games the better for us.

Yes but his advantage as RB is that he plays with Saka at Arsenal.

Unpopular opinion: Maguire is better at CB than White. Genuinely think he’s awful at defending at CB, especially in ā€˜ā€˜2’’.

Awful?
You should be unpopular.

At defending in that position yes. He’s a great RB though.

His omission from the England squad has little to do with ability or form in my opinion. It’s got to be an issue with Southgate.

Your Ben White hate is extremely illogical. Just admit he is a class footballer be it at RB or CB.

The thing with Foden at the Etihad last season was puzzling and might suggest it could be more than just Southgate. It’s been kept under wraps quite well though.

Who said I hate Ben White you doughnut. He’s a class RB.

Did we ever get an idea of why his left camp at the world cup?

Must be serious enough to be in Southgate’s bad books
