I understand distribution is important for modern goalies and I know Arteta really values it, but there is still more to being a GK than just distribution.
It just feels cherry-picked and pushes a particular narrative, I would be more ok if it specifically said it was a distribution comparison but it doesn’t.
Having a GK comparison where they don’t include any save stats just feels weird.
still better, 8 saved out of 12 shots for raya (66.6%), 5 saves for 9 shots for ramsdale (55%), better last year aswell, raya was the best saver in the league last year and so far in the league is 4th save percentage wise on 75% with ramsdale in 22nd on 55.5%, with raya only playing one game more, we need to stop the ramsdale being better narrative now before we shoot rayas confidence and are left with a worse goalkeeper for it
I wasn’t saying if one was better or not, as much as I love Ramsedale I know Raya is probably better.
But when you make a comparison of goalkeepers then not put in any traditional goalkeeping stats it feels unfair, it doesn’t give you the entire picture.
My issue was with the comparison chart, not with the decision to go with Raya.
I like Raya, but c’mon - no one on this sub can hurt Raya’s confidence at all. He’s a professional and it kinda delusional to think we have any impact on him.
its not just the sub, its all over social media, and despite what people think footballers arent special humans, they will eventually see that everyone is calling for them to be swapped out (would especially hurt since he is better in everyway so its just favouritism)
That’s kinda what I took from this as well.
