Yeah if chat arteta was saying is true he should go back to ramsdale, but I think we all know it’s bs and he’ll stick with Raya until he does have an absolute howler (mudryk goal wasn’t his fault imo)
I mean I want ramsdale to have some champions leaves games anyways, man got us there and hasn’t had a lick in
I mean, what Raya’s doing is what Arteta wants him to do. People will call Raya shaky but the entire point is that Raya is being asked to put his sole on the ball and bait the press, plus join the defensive line instead of staying in the box.
Ramsdale will be expected to do the exact same thing, so I think this is just a result of the media forcing an issue that isn’t really there.
How can you not think that Mudryk goal was his fault? I saw the same thing happen in the lead up to one of the Spurs goals, routine cross in that Rays fumbles with and ends up in a Spurs goal 45 secs later. It’s clearly something teams have identified, Mudryk said as much himself that the GK coach identified it
Lol it’s bs, watch mudryk the entire time he doesnt look at Raya/goal once
And Raya is that far off because that’s where he’s told to be
Didn’t even look? Even more skill!!! Doesn’t matter still needs to be stopped
I think he’s more likely to dig his heels in and back Raya. Mudryk’s fluke sliced cross wasn’t Raya’s fault. The annoying part is that Raya isn’t an obvious upgrade to Ramsdale, he’s better at some things but worse at others. I know Arteta didn’t like how inconsistent Ramsdale had become with his long distribution but we’re now less press resistant when we’re playing out from the back because Raya’s pass selection is not optimal to beat the opponents’ press.
Emmanuel Petit has to be one of the most ill-informed pundits out there.
He’s despised by pretty much any french soul unfortunate enough to hear about his takes. He’s second only to waste of oxygen Jerome Rothen.
Unai Simon undisputed keeper for Spain. The Pl fans once again wrong saying that Raya was the best option for Spain.
Arteta should have backed 1 keeper and gone on from there. He’s created this scenario where every keeper mistake will be over analysed by the media and creates uncertainty and extra pressure on the keepers.
If he stays with Raya every mistake will continue to be magnified. If he starts playing Ramsdale he’ll come under the same pressure.
The only thing he can do is release a statement saying “I had mentioned alternating keepers, but I feel Raya has shown enough to be named number 1 keeper. Mistakes can happens we need to back him etc.”
