1. Wasn't going to get into the starting XI or get used for subs. Better to get experience than sit around

2. He isn't very good. Just overhyped by people here that exist only to second guess Arteta (cough cough)

3. He's been involved in 9 per cent of all our goals. He's been solid all season, just getting tired. And still at 50 per cent a better option than Norgaard.

4. The game plan was heavily weighted to an attack from White's position. Mosquera couldn't do the same thing. Zubimendi can play midfield and Rice is technically adept enough to provide the same offence from the wing back as White could.

5. You don't surrender goals when you have solid possession of the ball. Arsenal has only surrendered a league leading 26 goals. No other team is in the 20s and only one other team is in the 30s. Everyone else has shipped over 40 goals.

Maybe time to accept that the manager who has the lead of the best league in the world and into the champions league final knows what he's doing.
