Ben White...

Didn't have his best game at all today, but fair play to Arteta for spotting that taking him off at half time, something which I think has kinda gone unnoticed due to the result.

Yes, White was struggling with Rashford's pace like he did in the away fixture, & he was on a Yellow card too by halftime.
Tomiyasu didn't find it easy with Rashford either but it was definitely better with him because he is more of a defensive right-back.

Yeah sensible decision. He was having a very rare off game tonight for whatever reason, didn’t look sharp enough to deal with rashford. Tomi coped a bit better. Great to have the option of another solid defender, been a while since we could say that

Ben White, Martinelli and Partey were poor.

Side question - Maybe I missed it but was there ever any believable explanation for his WC exit?

We are so well covered in the full back positions. White having a poor game and on a yellow? No problem, we bring Tomi on. Last season that would have been Cedric and just not an option

I thought white was a cb. Has he always played rb for you?

Apparently when Arteta bought White he saw him as a right back. He played centre back for us but lost his place to Saliba, when Tomiyasu got injured he covered for him at right back & played so well there he has kept his place.
