Maybe Ramsdale is better at some things.
However, I think the reason Raya starts is that he is mentally stronger and willing to play the risky style that Arteta is asking of his GK. Ramsdale even admitted he couldn’t do it.
Xhaka’s comments after that Newcastle game were pointed at Ramsdale more than anyone. He was too scared to follow the gameplan.
I love Ramsdale’s personality and everything, but it’s down to him to now push himself and find the maturity and courage to reach his potential. This is what it takes to be a top keeper now. You can’t stay on your line and hoof it.
I don’t think it’s a settled competition. Ramsdale has it in him to claw it back. But he needs to be able to do what the coaches ask.
