Bro, in what world have we had a poor start to the season?

We’re unbeaten.

Prime Alexis would be amazing for us.

I think he’d probably be a no.9 in our system but he would easily play both wings as well.

I’m assuming these are fantasty stats.

But from a graphic point of view, it’s a bit silly not to have that mentioned anywhere.

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.

That’s kinda what I took from this as well.

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.

I think it’s because in the south, everything is quite close together compared to up north, it means a lot of young talented players from areas just outside London can be more easily snapped up by the big London clubs.

I grew up in Essex and a lot of good footballers from there end up at West ham over Colchester, Ipswich or Southend

There are exceptions, Southampton, Brighton and Bournemouth have all had good runs recently (in a macro sense) and Portsmouth had a good run in the mid and late 2000’s.
