I hadn’t even thought about this until recently because I thought it was so minor, but I don’t think the goalkeeper issue is as much of a problem for us as the media and some fans make it out to be. Forget what Arteta said at the press conference. Look at who he picks to start the game. Raya is our number one and that’s a fact that’s so clear, there’s no confusion, there’s no misunderstanding. And you can look at our defensive record. I don’t see a big problem with that.
That’s because it’s not.
However everything else is going well for us, chaos sells clicks and there is literlly no fanbase as easy to rile up and turn against itself as ours.
This. The media and rivals don’t like how well things are going for us so they are trying to cause unrest. If Ramsdale was our nailed on 1st keeper they’d be back to saying pope and Pickford are clear of him and trying to banter us for Signing someone who was twice relegated
I think fans have been a lot more vocal about it than the media - the latter tend to say “never works, you’ve got to have one number 1, and Arteta’s picked Raya” and leave it there because there really isn’t that much to discuss.
If you go bg Reddit and Twitter, it’s us fans who bang on about Ramsdale & VAR & conspiracy theories about officials. Please, let’s leave it to other fans to look like they’re a cuckoo bants club.
