    I don’t really get the Raya is better than Ramsdale argument, when Raya has made a near fatal mistake in almost every game he’s played. Arteta clearly prefers Raya, and we can trust Arteta without pretending Raya is a better than Ramsdale when he is not.

      Raya’s body of work is much larger then the 3 or so mistakes he’s made for us so far. He’s been a premier league keeper of note for years now believe it or not.

      I mean he is better. He’s a better shot stopper imo. Easily. Look at the goals Ramsdale conceded last season. Also, the dumbest decisions I’ve seen Ramsdale make last season, I’ve yet to see Raya make those same mistakes.

      Ramsdale was one of the worst GKs last season when you look at the numbers. He was underperforming massively in a title challenging side. You’ve only given Raya 8 league games lol.

        Every GK makes mistakes, even Ederson made some against Chelsea.

        But the best GK’s don’t let these get into their head and know it’s just part of the game. For Ramsdale if he makes a mistake early you know it will play in his mind and he’ll have a very shaky game because of it, such as punting the ball long into no-mans land out of fear of making another mistake.
