Lineker then continued: “What I don’t understand, I don’t like and never have liked play-acting. I don’t get it or understand why players do it, but especially now when you’ve got so many cameras at the ground and you’ve got VAR anyway that will look back at incidents.
“Do you not think to yourself, that’s a bit embarrassing doing that? And Ben White is not the only one by the way, lots of players do it, but I just don’t know why you’d bring that on yourself. You just look at prat.”
White won’t be discouraged by his critics though as he remains an integral part of Arteta’s system at the Emirates Stadium, with his versatility allowing Arsenal to mix it up tactically.
