"F*** me" - Arsenal star White left in brutal disbelief by Liverpool's attack

mirror.co.uk, 9 August 2022, 17:00
Arsenal suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in March after two quick goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino snatched all three Premier League points

Ben White was stunned with the pace of Liverpool's blistering attack following their 2-0 victory against Arsenal in March - and he made his feelings clear inside his team's dressing room.

The Gunners put in a solid display against Jurgen Klopp's side at the Emirates but lost the game when Liverpool scored two goals in eight second-half minutes. Arsenal were in fine form at the time, winning five straight Premier League games before the defeat.

White's shock is evident in the new Amazon documentary, 'Arsenal: All Or Nothing'. The next three episodes of the docuseries are set to be released on Thursday, with the defeat by Liverpool featuring in episode six.

On entering the home dressing room at full-time, a composed White said to his shell-shocked teammates: "Any slight opportunity they get... f*** me. They're so clinical. The second one, he's [Roberto Firmino] literally just got his toe in front of me."

Moments after White's admission, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta tells his players they lost the game in each half's final third. He praised their midfield performance but urged them to do better in defence and attack. He also told his players to keep their heads up.

"From box to box, we did everything that we'd planned," Arteta told reporters at full-time. "What happened in the boxes was a different story, that's where we lost the game. I think the whole team played fantastically well. I don't think the result reflects the performance, but in the box they had the decisive moments. They put the ball in the net twice."

At the time, Liverpool were at their brilliant best. Klopp's side won 16 of their final 19 Premier League games last season, losing none. Domestically, only Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham denied them. They went on to win the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

Episode six of the docuseries also gave an insight into White's career. The England international, 24, was released by Southampton's academy aged 16. He was soon snapped up by Brighton and went on to spend time on loan at Newport, Peterborough and Leeds.

White was named Newport's Player of the Year and Leeds' Young Player of the Season to earn a chance at Brighton. He was superb during his one full season at the Amex, making 36 Premier League outings to win their Player of the Season prize.

White was signed by Arsenal for £50million last summer. He once admitted in an interview that he doesn't watch football, yet he clarified that stance in the docuseries. "It's weird because my family don't like football," said White. "[They've] never played it, [My] dad hates it, never ever watched a game.

"It was actually someone my mum used to cut hair for [that got me into football]. She used to come out into the garden with me - she'd get in goal and I'd boot the ball at her. That's where it all started really... I don't think I was ever talented - like 'special' - I just worked harder than everyone else."

Arteta described White as "brave", "really talented" and a "fighter" in the docuseries. He added: "He trains like he's playing the Champions League final. That's why he's come a long way in such a short time in his career."

All or Nothing: Arsenal is available on Prime Video now
