      Bit harsh but also true. I like Ramsdale and the Raya thing hasn’t been an absolute triumph or handled brilliantly. He just needs to get some perspective, he’s in a situation where it’s been acknowledged he hasn’t done much wrong and is still widely regarded as a good keeper. If he wants a move or his place back, he just has to keep his head down and keep working. Nobody should really expect to be the #1 for years. Maybe he had that in his head but he went from a relegation keeper, to EL/Top4/Challenging for title team.

      He just needs to get his head right, those two mistakes could be have been costly as fuck at Brentford. You don’t want to turn into another Karius because you just lost your head at the wrong time, played badly and your options for a move disappeared. I also think is it REALLY that bad to be the #2 at Arsenal in the short term? You never know what happens in football, maybe Raya just has a really bad run of games and is dropped or gets injured.

      He just needs to keep his head down and work hard, it’s his only option now. I think the media stuff is reinforcing Arteta’s decision a bit.
