Ramsdale hasnt heen treated any more or less fair than Leno was when he couldnt get off the bench during Ramsdale’s period of poor form.
Whether you think either situation was handled correctly isnt really my point, but rather that he’s been on a good and bad side of the coin.
Personally i feel the entire GK saga now is mostly irrelevant, we have more readily obvious issues to potentially rectify elsewhere, especially if you feel we’ve been lacking fluidity going forwards. Is Ramsdale coming back going to suddenly make our midfield tick? No. The media wasn’t on Onana’s back as much as they are Raya’s despite the former replacing a club legend and been steadily underwhelming until their last UCL game but people get suckered into it.
They definitely were on Onana’s back more than Raya, but the Raya saga is much more irrelevant because it’s about playing the better keeper which is somehow a point of discussion now
Schmeichel was trying so hard to gas him up when he made that penalty save the other day, talking about how this can be some grand turning point into a legendary career ahead. So annoying
Not just Schemeichel, i saw Rio high fiving him infront of the cameras, they’re so desperate for him to not be shite while they take turns trying to put the pressure on Mikel/Raya/Ramsdale. They signed him to play out from the back which he’s/they’ve yet to achieve but we’re the ones taking risks apparently.
Totally agree. The only reason I feel different is I could see on the pitch a clear upgrade from Leno to Ramsdale. So far I haven’t seen that upgrade from Raya to Ramsdale (maybe my puny brain isn’t seeing the subtleties but I can only say it as I see it).
I don’t really understand this, Raya has made some clear mistakes on the ball yes but in the 4 games Ramsdale played he let in very soft goals vs Fulham and Man U… which he was doing for a whole season and a half before that as well. The amount of comments I’ve heard saying ‘harsh he’s done nothing wrong’ when he clearly has just baffles me. If Raya let in that goal vs Fulham we’d never hear the end of it
It s not just shot stopping it’s literally everything- raya is in top right corner and Ramsdale is like lower left or at least significantly farther down
