It’s irresponsible to base your argument on something that’s complete heresay.
Raya doesn’t know how to play out from the back. It’s not that he has had poor back passes, it’s that he can’t be relied upon to retain possession under pressure like a modern goalkeeper should do. Ramsdale honestly excelled at this. There were many times Ramsdale has created space by playing out from the back and inviting pressure. The most difficult games are the teams that understand ramsdale is pretty good at this and allow him to retain the ball. Ever since Raya, we pass it back to him, our butthole clenches, and then he makes a mistake, or kicks it long which apart from the second half against City, that usually just gives up possession or he finds someone who had no space to work with and they lose possession.
A confident Ramsdale used to invite pressure, and then pick out the right player in midfield and dink a blazing fast and accurate long ball that you couldn’t believe. There is so much value in actually finding the right player with a long ball, and if he couldn’t find them he’d play it short.
He definitely doesn’t play that perfect pass as much anymore but he hasn’t been bad by any means, just less impressive. he could’ve gotten back to his best. He’s a mentality monster.
Raya has had a few mildly impressive moments. Ramsdale has had moments that will go down in Arsenal goalkeeping history. I understand he’s had more time, but by Rambo’s third match he had David Seaman saying he made the best save he’s ever seen against Leicester.
“Raya doesn’t know how to play out from the back” you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about so might as well stop writing essays. Nobody’s going to bother reading after that awful take
Ah yes, Brentford and there famed possession focused play out from the back style football. Truly a Pep 2.0 style of football. I’ve never been less confident in a keeper having possession of the ball. My asscheeks still haven’t unclenched since watching the first half against City.
I’m not saying Ramsdale came from Barcelona, but he adapted far better and far quicker than Raya is, and has now had years training and playing our style.
Sure, I like that we gave Raya a chance just like we did when we bought Ramsdale. My problem is that when Ramsdale had his chance he shook up the league and we were calling for him to be Englands no. 1. There was no way Leno could get his spot back. Raya has done nothing but made me nervous, and question what did ramsdale do so wrong, that Raya is a better option.
