Standard yellow. Tough economy.

Poor old Benny boy, we all knew tonight would be a game too far for him, a third in a week. If we can see it, why can’t management!

Did we? White should have started today.
Zubimendi was the worry.

He started and ended up injured - it was fucking predictable. Timber at RB and Skelly at LB was the play.

Let’s hope Blanco isn’t out long term now.

Mikel confirms hamstring and its not looking good

Probs won’t see him till April now as a cameo substitute.

I’ve just clocked that @Mr_Nostalgia 's extra gutted because White is his boy.

Will definitely be a big miss with the upcoming schedule.

So our backup defenders are now MLS whos really a midfielder and Norgaard whos a DM. Lol, we are cooked.

So stupid overplaying him, we were already talking over the last couple of games about his fitness, both it being impressive how well he’s done coming back but also that he should be easing in more.

Hamstring can go at any time on a sprint like that but still, added risk. Must be at least 4-6 weeks out again now.

I can’t see how you can say he’s been overplayed!

:arteta: guys lets not chase him away. Not everyone can take the equivalent of Happy Birthday jokes for 10+ years.

IMO, Arteta really fucked up here. White had hardly played all season then 90 minutes on 12/3, 90 minutes 12/6, 83 minutes 12/10, and started today. Meanwhile, MLS didn’t play 12/3, only 4 minutes 12/6, 90 minutes 12/10, then on the bench today.

It just seems like a classic example of Arteta always being so focused on winning the next match and putting out the team that gives him the best chance to win that he takes unnecessary risks with the fitness of certain players.

Can none of these shit journos ask him any questions about why Arteta keeps doing this?

Still think our training intensity needs to be investigated. Yet another soft tissue injury.

I’ve been saying this since the start of this season and it is all too predictable. Someone needs to have a serious word with Arteta because this is a self made crisis.

He does it with all the players, then everyone gets a shocked Pikachu face when players drop like flies as they tout ā€˜it’s just bad lack, bro’…

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing 90-min full throttle matches in training too.

Just runninh these mofos into the ground
