Raya hasn’t received that much love from the fans because he displaced fan favorite Ramsdale despite being better on nearly every metric. Even if you don’t compare them, Raya still deserves love from the fans for his great performances

I think the question is, which skill set suits Arsenal right now, and going forward?
It’s pretty clear Raya is better on the ball and picking out a pass, yet inferior to Ramsdale on intercepting crosses. But what attributes do you value most between the two? Neither offers every quality you want in a keeper. Furthermore, both Leno and Martinez were better shot stoppers than either Raya or Ramsdale.
Arteta is looking at the whole team, and picking the keeper who best fits his system.
