Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot has suggested that Chelsea should have targeted Arsenal right-back Ben White, noting that White appeared “irritated” during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
Arsenal’s struggles continued over the weekend, with the team dropping points for the fourth consecutive Premier League game, a trend that seems to be testing the patience of the players and staff alike.
Melchiot noted that White appeared “irritated” and unusually “unstable” as he faced off against Chelsea, in a game that ended 1-1 and marked Arsenal’s fourth consecutive Premier League match without a win.
Melchiot observed that White, who typically handles defensive pressure well, seemed unsettled as he contended with Chelsea’s attack. In particular, Melchiot believed Chelsea could have gained an edge by focusing on White, whom he described as “irritated” during the game—a rare sight for the composed Arsenal defender.
