Not sure we can just drop him back to the bench after a performance like that. Would be extremely harsh
Seen a lot of talk in the media recently trying to make something out of this guy not starting. Theyāre cunts.

I would imagine itād be more fitness related, he looked good tonight but heās been off it for a while fitness wise and a big ask to go straight back to 2 starts (maybe full games) in 2.5 days.
Tonight was clear rotation, he took his chance and made sure he will get another. Just donāt think it will be sat lunchtime.

Good olā Benny Blanco, had a good game today.
Give Timber a break. Benny can play instead.

Benny Blanco returns!
Have actually missed seeing this guy play. So happy heās back.
I think he gives good balance to this Arsenal team since I can now have a man crush at both left and right back, and not just on the one side.

This implies you donāt have a crush on Timber which is obviously ridiculous.

Thereās got to be more of a role for him here than just Timberās understudy.

He might have a role if Willy Saleebs and Chrissy Mos Def are out with injury still.
Sir Benjamin of Isle Wight deputising at CB mayhaps?

Benoit Blancissimo being fit and available will be huge for us. He is still a trusted lieutenant for Arteta, itās just that Timber is too good to drop.
Heāll get his moments in the cups and when there is fixture congestion. Slim pickings for a player who has been so reliable and consistent for us, but yes, Timber is just on another level to most fullbacks in the world right now.
At his best, he is absolutely top drawer but it depends on him being physically sound. He provided a reminder of his quality and utility yesterday.

You can only have one! Two is just being greedy 
I was worried about him in this game. I actually thought he was our best player overall. Our only defender to be composed.
He was ok, a couple of mistimed passes and got beat a couple of times also.
Jeeze, didnāt realise you were watching with a clipboard ffs.
Notepad actually.
You sound ridiculous. Canāt give a complement without saying a negative
Digital? Or are you proper old school rocking the Moleskine and HB graphite ?
