As for RB issues? Nah mate. Benny Blanco had an off day...but he has been one of our best players all season, and proven it against big teams along the way. Don't think we have much to worry about here. Not many LW's as mustard as Rashford ATM.
No, not kidding...if I recall correctly Tomi only came out successful against Rashford once and though that's not a crime due to the Rashford's amazing form ATM, he added little to nothing to our attack...in general I don't think he gels that well with Saka, compared to a White ( when he's on form though).

I doubt there's anyone on here who is a bigger cheerleader to White than me, but he was so poor yesterday that it almost felt like a betrayal of some sort...forget that Rashford was on form but Ben was also poor going forward to and just didn't look like he wanted to be on the pitch.

With Southgate in the stands I couldn't help but think about whatever he did that got him sent home from the WC... he still is my favourite defender at the club but honestly his mentality worries me a bit.

Anyway Arteta saw what most of us saw and gave him a deserved break, lets see how other big games go though.
