David Raya's entire existence at this club just bothers me right now
I have nothing against him personally, he seems like a fairly decent guy.
But he has been put in an impossible situation by Arteta and he is absolutely not so much better than Ramsdale that he should be starting matches over him.
Fucking shit show management . That's two goals he has given Luton today, and he hasn't been convincing in any match he's played in so far.
Agreed, this is one of two things that Arteta has really gotten wrong imho from a man management perspective. He cannot say he's rotating keepers and then never pick Ramsdale until he's literally forced to. Now both keepers look haunted and are constantly looking over their shoulders. It's a nightmare.
@sensiblepuffin @LotrOrc easy thing would be ramsdale for all away PL games
True, but you don't want to create a narrative that Raya can't take a bit of away day pressure either. I don't know why Ramsdale couldn't start at least one of the CL matches, for example.
This and his use of our squad in general
It's a self fulfilling prophecy honestly. You don't trust your side players to be able to play so you don't play them with any regularity. Then they come in, with zero match preparation or match fitness, and don't perform as well, so you drop them again. If we want to win the league we have to use the squad more
I think him starting is fine, tbh, but not us spending 30 mil on him.
I don't think we should after this test drive
Eh if he's willing to not be first choice I would, Hein's not ready and idt Okonkwo stays (or is ready either)
There's no need for that for sure.
Throw that thirty mill towards getting paulinha or another replacement for Partey
