Benjamin White (4)

Thought he was excellent last night. Our backup RB starts for the other 19 teams with ease.

Really hope he doesn’t go to Everton this month

Zero chance he’s heading off this month but one to keep an eye on in the summer window

Not that I want him to go

Unless he is not getting over his fitness issue, I see no reason to sell him and reduce our quality when we could retain the best players & dominate football for another 2 seasons.

He would be Chelsea’s best defender outright, let alone their first choice RB.

A very timely reminder of just how good we have it currently. Ben White being the second choice RB is pure, pure luxury. He looks back to his physical peak and when he is, he absolutely exudes class and calm.

Being able to rotate White and Timber is billionaire type shit.

I still think white would be first choice again if he’s consistently fit. As great as timber is.

As per the match last night, we can effectively deploy Timber on the left. I still rate Benny Blanco. Has a big future at Arsenal still IMO.

Thought he was the best player on the pitch against Portsmouth and bar being partly in fault(like a couple others) for the first Chelsea goals, that was a top performance from him.

I thought he faired significantly better than Timber defensively which is some feat.

Timber is really good but Benny is better when in shape. We are stacked at FB, would be splendid if we can keep both, esp. considering the ability to stand in at CB if needed.

Timber AND White is still our best full back pairing despite how brilliant Calafiori has been this year. I can see White leaving in the summer though.

I don’t know about that. Timber edges it as our best RB now. A fit and firing Calafiori at LB has that locked down and no one would take that away from him.

We’re blessed at the moment that White and Timber can perform to the level they can at these current positions.

One of my favourite players at Arsenal. But fuck me, that was one of the worst substitute performances I have seen from an Arsenal players in years!

Takes far too long with throw ins…

I still love him though :heart:

Benny Wanko this evening.

This is a team tactic not a player issue.

Timber
MLS
Hincapie
White
Calafiori

All of them do it, it must be instructions. To what purpose I have no idea.

Yeah highly annoying these delayed throw ins.

Think there was once instance in the second half where he threw it instantly and found Saka. Why we didn’t do that more often no idea.

find myself screaming at the screen THROW THE DAMN BALL. It is just a dumb tactic. Hold onto the ball….’oh look everyone has moved back into their positions, i guess i have to throw it now….but where do i throw it now everyone is covered!’

You know you’ve got problems when your own fans are telling you to stop time wasting.

There’s sense to taking your time when comfortably leading but when chasing a game just get the fuck on with it and throw the ball in quickly.

I’d happily give up the 20 seconds wasted when we’re winning for just normal throws all the time.

It actually makes me rage like fuck. MLS and Timber are the worst of the lot at it.
