Benjamin White: £50m Right Back

[OnlyOne]

What we all know is that you’re a White groupie.

And with good reason, both he and Ødegaard have embarrassed you this season.

 

[BenTal]

He did everything right today except for the corner

 

[goonerfamily]

Great game today apart from that corner. Why did he kick it out for a corner ffs?

 

[Riou]

Why did he kick it out for a corner ffs?

I honestly think he was so happy when he smashed Zaha, he forgot he was playing a professional match for half a second

 

[1macca1]

And zaha got the better of him when he hit the post

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Think he got overexcited smashing the ball out for a corner after tracking back after a brilliant tackle. Felt unnecessary.

Other than that I thought he was fantastic.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Great performance what a amazing surprise he been as RB.

 

[1macca1]

Sliding tackles look great when you win the ball, but you’ve got to get it to a teammate or put it out for a throw when you go in like that or you’re out of position, as that example showed.

 

[HomeSteak]

Zaha is hard to deal with, and is the type of winger he struggles with, but to be fair, he did a number on the cheating **** today. Love the guy

 

[Axel9090]

Im not gonna stop waxing lyrical about this guy because he deserves it! Players like Saka have the goals and assists to stand out (amazing stats), but this guy is a rock, quietly bossing the RB position. For me, he makes it in RB for every EPL team.

 

[Pop Tart]

Shaky a bit last year but has found his true position this year. phenomenal going forward and in defense

 

[ArsenesCoatMaker]

Class today, assist and a pre-assist which also relied on him intercepting the ball to create the space for the goal. Exceptional

 

[MaraDon]

MOTM

I have one issue with him. He can’t take a throw in quickly or even in normal time. Every throw in takes ages with him

I've always thought this but someone on Sky Sports mentioned we’re more careful with throw ins and have one of the lowest turnovers with it.

Every detail matters for Mikel and coaching staff. Obviously they've worked on the throw ins as well and wait for some sort of opening before taking them.

 

[say yes]

White is brilliant but England are ridiculously stacked at RB tbf.

He’s more of a CB in Southgate’s system, and probably won’t break into the England setup permanently unless/until he starts playing there.

Thankfully for us, I don’t think White cares.

 

[Ljonin]

He doesn’t care because he knows he will be in the England squad when it matters, be it with or without Southgate.

No way you keep a player of that caliber out of a championship without looking like a clown. Don’t think Saka would be particularly happy about it either, and he’s already Englands best player by some distance

Zaha is hard to deal with, and is the type of winger he struggles with, but to be fair, he did a number on the cheating **** today. Love the guy

Yeah White more or less controlled Zaha in the away match and had him under control for the majority of the home match too. Think people aren't giving Zaha enough credit personally, he's Palace's main threat and has caused havoc against plenty of RBs.

@Rex Bezos this classic had AM shook, they didn't see a CB play like this:

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

These journalists really thought white cares. He scored a goal today and hardly care
