Indeed. Told my Arsenal supporting mates as much. He’ll get taken apart in the air if nothing else by the best teams. I think 3 at the back utilises his real strength - the ability to carry the ball forward. Have to wonder what they thought they were buying if the plan is a 4 man defence….

Very good point re the three at the back

Just put it on. Where are Arsenal's forwards? Injured?

Agree, even in an Arsenal 3 he won’t have the same reliance on the other two.

Oh well!

I was thinking about that….but I can’t remember a game for us where he played as one of two….but your closing point is so true

As Jamie Carragher’s just said the same thing, I feel vindicated!

Thanks

h/t and it's Brentford that look like the top half team and Arsenal the Championship rookies.

 

[LamieRobertson]

If this score line stays the same Arsenal TV will be an interesting watch …hopefully he’ll be recording from outside the ground whilst buckets are being used to clear up the tears

45 minutes and Ben White has already been dubbed as the new Pascal Cygan. Who'd have thought.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Don’t worry I am sure they will sort their defence out before the Chelsea game next week

I think we should give a bit of credit to Brentford and their pressing…but also he looks a bit nervy

I really like Ben White, absolutely nothing against the kid, but quite frankly he’s joined the wrong team. I CANNOT WAIT to see him trying to defend Dunk and Webster at set pieces.

 

[trueblue]

Strangely my Arsenal supporting mate hasn’t responded to this…..

“If you want one of our proper central defenders who can play well in a 4, Dunk’s available for £75m…. “

 

[dwayne]

Wowww. Benny.. absolute TRASH.

Just too funny: we've mugged arsenal- 50m for our 4th choice CB.

Arsenal may soon realise they bought our 3rd best centreback

No doubt imho that both Webster and Dunk are far superior defenders and headers.

White had 5th highest interceptions in the PL last season, he's very good in the transition and passing, but pure defending. Webster or Dunk any day.

Sorry Arsenal, no refunds!

No chance Brentford will go down.
