Benjamin The White 📝

[UkrArsenal]

someone has to sit on the bench for the next match. against the pundits he did not play well, and against the toffee he played badly

Him and Martinelli have really dropped off form wise over the last 2-3 games.

Arteta faces the headache now of either dropping both of them for Trossard and Tomiyasu in preperation for the City game, or backing them for another couple games.

Drop White, keep Martinelli. With the latter it's more likely he'll get out his funk quickly while Tomiyasu has done enough to bench White for a while.

He's been really poor just the last couple of games but his drop off started late last year already I think. Might be linked to the WC thing who knows.

I really wonder what would happen if tomiyasu was fit start of the season. Did White get that rb position due to injury and just kept it because he outperformed expectations? Either way Tomi has to get back in

Yeh Martinelli will be more likely to hurt a team like City as well, we shouldn't depart from what has been working for us all season style wise in our biggest game.

Tomi really isn't a big drop off style wise or defensively from White, so its worth bringing him in vs Brentford. Will be bedded in for the City game.

2 bad games but I don't think that warrants dropping him.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yes seem something off with him not the typical performance from white his passing was way off and didn’t help saka much.

 

[Rex Stone]

Tomi time imo

 

[Ljonin]

Tomi looks the better player for the RB position for sure. Stronger, better positioning, more presence going forward.

Ben White should have to work hard to get back in them team the way he’s playing at the moment.

Make use of the added squad depth

And if Tomi plays against Brentford and performs poorly do you then drop him and put White back in again?

If we only judge and change/drop players because of 1 or 2 bad games we would be never done changing players.

 

[Makingtrax]

He’s not been at the races recently. Arteta’s got two choices, play him through it in the hope he’ll improve or give him a rest and put Tomi on. Pluses and minuses either way.

It’s pretty simple. Tomi performs better in that position right now, and therefore should start.

That’s why you have quality options in the squad.

He has been poor several games actually. The idea you can keep playing bad and always keep your position is weird when there is equally good player in the position

Answer the question.

If Tomi comes in. Plays bad against Brentford do you then drop him for City?

A simple yes or no is enough.

No you give him several games because Ben has been off for weeks. It’s time for an actual change and not just for one game

OK so your principle is, let's drop Ben because he had 3 bad games for example. When Saliba has 3 bad games do you bring in Holding? Or when Partey plays **** and gives the ball away for 3 games do you drop him?

Players will always hit a little patch of 2 or 3 games where they aren't brilliant. But if you just hook them you need to do the same with the rest of the 11.

I'm not saying you are wrong. What I'm saying is. If you are calling White to be dropped you should be calling for at least 3 or 4 more to be dropped. And every time someone has a bad couple of games the same.

So if I see you on the forum calling Partey to be dropped after 2 bad games or Saka to be dropped after 2 bad games fair enough. But be consistent.

He may have had two bad games in a row but tomiyasu hasn’t been any better

Spot on.

I will be watching carefully if the same people are calling other members of the squad out the minute they have a bad game or two.

I dare say they will give a few by balls to some players.

No every situation is different. Saka and Partey can’t be dropped because there is no one in there position same level. There is really nothing between White and Tomiyasu as RBs. Long term neither are good enough as RB if we want to be elite.

Isn’t the whole point of having a strong squad that you can replace a player if they’re having a dip in form. It’s nothing serious, just yeah rotate for a bit. Otherwise what’s the point of having Tomiyasu.
