    These stats highlight the importance of context when analyzing performances. For instance, Ramsdale played the first three Premier League matches in a formation experiment by Arteta, where Partey played right back and Ben White was in the center, alongside Saliba. This formation was susceptible to counterattacks, resulting in sloppy goals against Fulham and Nottingham Forest. Comparing this to Raya playing with our first-choice center-back pairing and fullbacks is like comparing apples to oranges.

      Youre not wrong. People are complaining about the absence of goalkeeping stats here. I’m just providing said stats. There’s still pros and cons to both. Ramsdales gk stats from last season were pretty poor as well. Raya’s was better. Different systems and all that are another thing to consider but i dont think its abaolutely clear that Raya should be dropped right now. A couple more games with Raya still having the same issues and a change would be wise. However, we need to try to make this work because Ramsdales underlying stats from last season and this season haven’t been amazing so I’d say give Raya at least 10 games.
