    Agree to disagree. That hypothetical clause in the passage is about Raya being down:

    And for whatever reason, there might be a day where he’s down and even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing, I have to stand up and be able to push him.

    I read that as the same as saying

    even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing, there might be a day where he’s down for whatever reason and I have to stand up and be able to push him.

    So, I don’t think the headline really warps the passage significantly.

    a provocative “I don’t like this get me out of here now” sense.

    I don’t think the headline implies that.

    In any case, it’s certainly much too harsh to say they’re “making shit up”

      If you compare the headline to what is being said, it is making up shit. Yes, the exact words exist but they are divorced from the wider context of the situation.

      This is pretty standard media clickbait; the aim is to get you to talk about it. Also note the reaction when it’s Ramsdale vs. Raya - the latter literally said he’d like to play in La Liga sometime, and there’s not nearly as much of an uproar.

      You’re reading too literally into this IMO.

        Agree to disagree. I don’t think the headline drastically changes the sentiment of that sentence. Ramsdale is hurting, which is natural and not a big deal.
