He isn't as attacking as Coker. White offers nothing off the ball whereas Coker creates (and before them both, Clohessy created) space for others by pushing on.

Yet he had the same amount of assists so is doing something right.

Using "off the ball" as any sort of measurement is very subjective, you could equally claim Coker leaves gaps behind him that White doesnt meaning other players have to cover for him.

He's not doing something necessarily right or wrong, he's just doing something different to Coker.

I really don't consider it to be remotely controversial to suggest that Coker and Clohessy both get forward more than White. If they had those charts plotting where players are it would show it, but this is L2 and we have to rely on our eyes instead.

When was the last time White overlapped? That's not his game.

I think White should be replaced at RB. Play him at CB, perhaps not so many crosses would come into our penalty area then!

Depends who he's got in front of him, I've seen him do it quite recently with Worrall.
