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

    Raya has shown repeatedly that his positioning from crossing is suspect, and has had two huge lapses in his passing vs city and Chelsea, giving the ball away in the penalty area directly to an attacker.

    I understand your point here but Ramsdale was incredibly poor on crosses and was leading the league last year in possession lost leading to a shot on goal.

    The top comment in that thread:

    “High risk high reward system with one of the youngest starting GKs in the top 5 leagues. He’ll be okay.”

    We need to accept that these risks are part and parcel of the system.

      I was trying to stay clear of the direct comparisons between the two, because of course Ramsdale has been caught out as well.

      Raya is 3 years more experienced than Ramsdale, has worked with our keeping coaches before and has been wanted by Arteta for years - and he’s still making these mistakes in high profile games. I think that’s why for me there’s I’m scrutinising these more.

      Also (side note) for me it’s strange that Ramsdale’s kicking seemed to be really good at the start and has gotten more suspect as times gone on.
