• To all AM members and guests.

    For the start of the new season, Arsenal Mania has relaunched the news side of the site. All articles are written by genuine Arsenal fans with no hidden agenda. You can visit the site via the menu at the top of the forum pages or go direct to our homepage

    Additionally, Arsenal Mania is now sending all its registered members a bi-weekly Briefing Bulletin containing a digest of news and views from both parts of the site. Some of you may have already received the first edition and those that haven't should do so before the big kick off against United. If you are a guest visitor to this forum then if you join as a member, you will automatically receive the Bulletin.

    Please support both these initiatives and help ensure the long term future of our site.

We saw glimpses of the old Benny Blanco. Hopefully he builds on this and stays fit. Timber needs his support to ease games off him.

Decent game from him. Looks to be getting up to speed physically which is good.

He should allow us to rest Timber from time to time which is nice.

Hearing he did well yesterday, which is really encouraging.

If we can get White back to his best, I think it gives us another way to break down those low blocks.

Love Timber, but White is more dynamic going forward.

To be able to share the gametime between the pair of them would be great.

I'm a little bit concerned at how little he's played. I would have thought he'd feature *a lot* more in a week when we have 3 away games, two of them to promoted teams in the PL (although I do understand that Sunderland are different gravy).

Yeah his situation is starting to get concerning now.

Timber is just better atm in every aspect thats why White is not playing. but White is still a very very good player who will get his minutes with the way our fullbacks are playing they cannot play 3 matches in one week.

People say it's being alarmist but he's looked physically diminished sadly in the few appearances he's made. There's being rusty with the ball which is totally understandable but looking like you're running in lead boots every single time out since returning from injury is worrying. It feels very much like what we were witnessing with Jesus. I really hope he can find some fitness and form both for his sake and Timber's.

Heard in one of the latest ArsenalVision podcasts the suggestion he might never reach his 23/24 level again, because due to Timber‘s ACL he‘d had to play through quite a significant knee injury for months.

That somehow matches with his recent sub performances, he looks as if he‘s managing something, not trusting his body.

What a letdown that would be, if he never reaches his level. Sure, pushing out Timber is nigh on impossible now but why he couldn‘t replace him vs Slavia is a mystery to me.

That would mean that Arteta destroyed his career.

Ben hasn’t featured in a Premier League game since the opening day, has he played his last meaningful minutes for the club?

The English codified the rules of football just as the French perfected wine. We don't often ask an English person to come over to make Bordeaux.
