The problem is that Ramsdale is a hugely likeable guy and no one wanted to see him benched. I don’t think there’s much in it with Raya but there’s no room for sentiment when you’re trying to build a winning team. Ramsdale has a lot of bad habits that need ironing out if we’re honest. I’ll never forget that early goal we conceded to Southampton in the run in last season, his concentration levels aren’t great and his distribution isn’t as good as it should be. Raya has played twice and granted he hasn’t been tested yet, it’s clear to see that certain aspects of his game are sharper.

I think part of the issue is that Ramsdale is only 25 and he is fantastic for a keeper of that age, and people wanted him to maintain the number 1 position and continue to develop into the keeper everyone believes he can become. Keepers like Courtois and MATS were just as inconsistent at age 24/25 and ended up becoming world class. Raya is better right now, but Ramsdale has 3 or 4 years on him and can definitely surpass him with experience, and he's gonna get less of a chance to develop if he's on the bench, On top of that, Ramsdale hasn't done anything to warrant being dropped in most peoples eyes, he constantly shows up in big games especially away from home (Liverpool, Spurs, Newcastle last season) and over the course of two whole seasons has only had a handful of mistakes, and only one of them has ended up costing points (which is arguable) All in all I trust Arteta and I do think Raya is the better keeper right now, so I will be behind any decision he makes.

It's a tough one for Arsenal fans because Ramsdale has come into the club at a young age, developed and undoubtedly improved during his time here - that is indisputable. He is a quality GK (not world class) but a top keeper who should be England's No.1. Arteta has allowed him to improve but clearly distribution is important. I've always thought Ramsdale was decent with his feet, but after only watching Raya in 2 games for Arsenal (and keeping 2 clean sheets by the way) he is excellent on crosses but most importantly, his ability on the ball is so reassured. Ramsdale is good with his feet but Raya is undeniably on another level. He contributes to Arteta's obsession with control and when I watch Raya I'm 100% confortable with him having the ball, whereas with Ramsdale there's always a feeling he could give the ball away, and the fact is he's not as reassured with the ball at his feet.

Ramsdale helps get them in the Champions League and then he plays the Brentford keeper in it instead of him! If he thinks Raya is the better keeper then why didn't he start the season? What's Ramsdale done to get dropped? And why is he talking rubbish about alternating the keepers? You have to be fair to people and treat them with humanity even if you're being ruthless. John Lukic won the title with Arsenal, but George Graham saw David Seaman as the better goalkeeper. Seaman won the title with Arsenal and Lukic was sold to Leeds and won the title with them. So everyone was happy. Leaving Ramsdale on the bench is not good for morale. And who's to say Arteta is any better as a manager than Ramsdale is as a player?

As a manager, Arteta had had the problem where Leno was injured and they had to rely on Runarsson, who was a significant downgrade from their number one GK. It wasn't too good for the team when Leno wasn't injured either because he became too comfortable and complacent. It could simply be the reason why he bought Raya. He doesn't want to have the situation like he had with Leno/Runarsson again.

Change is indeed a difficult and painful aspect. As painful as it is, we've got to accept that football has changed. Ramsdale has done very well since he joined Arsenal, especially considering the doubts when he was signed. I doubt the manager will forget that as good as he was last season, he still fumbled where it mattered most (against Southampton, Sporting CP, UTD at Emirates, Aston Villa etc). Surely there is something a manager sees and wonders. He is a good guy but hey decisions have to be made

Thing is goalkeepers aren’t just purely reactive any more, they’re expected to get involved and start the build up, keep possession, launch counter attacks, come a long way out of goal and read the game so rotating different keepers in different situations makes perfect sense on paper nowadays

But when Raya comes in, its not the same sentiment and theres no way he can understand the signing. I think it comes down to if Schmeichel was in ramsdale position he would be angry and because goalkeepers traditionally, no matter how bad you can be, will always retain your position because youre the number one. It adds competition and if ramsdale attitude is right, he will be back in the XI in no time

Ramsdale hasn't really do anything wrong, and he's a really great guy so fans feel for him but he wasn't blameless either at the tail end of the season when Arsenal needed it most. Arsenal only kept four clean sheets out of 21 Premier League games at the Emirates Stadium since the start of last season. Only Fulham kept fewer clean sheets at home. Ramsdale definitely lacks focus at times and can get caught up in the emotions of a game. He had some pretty poor performances in the run in to the league, but had a few highlight reel saves that sort of made up for it. Raya is a much more composed keeper, and much more assured with the ball at his feet. I personally think Ramsdale earned the CL start, and it was pretty cut throat of Arteta to start Raya over him. It's yet to be seen who's the better shot stopper but Raya seems to provide more stability to the team particularly in tense moments and high possession games which are often the games Arsenal find themselves in.

Props to Arteta for being brave enough to implement strategy that is different to the norm. It's his team and he will reap the rewards or face the consequences of his decisions.

I Understand Arteta. Last year Ramsdale was making some mistakes and he was still playing with no pressure becouse he knows that he is undropable. He was much better than Turner.

Sub keeper is such a difficult role for managers to fill. You want quality back up, but finding anyone who wants to come in and knows they won’t play unless something unlikely happens is almost impossible.

I don’t understand how this has gotten as big as it is, if u watch previous arsenal games (dis szn n prev) u can see dat rams was very comfortable in no.1 dis led to him making mistakes or lose passes, raya coming in will only elevate both keepers

Schmeichel just don’t want arsenal to level up.

He is simply just jealous. The game against United that he was a studio pundit was clear. I am glad Wright laughed at his bs. All he said against Raya was completely different. Tim Sherwood on skysports said Raya took off so much burden from the defenders reason they were so calm through out the game.

Hold your horses.

I think Peter is still in the past. Keepers are now expected to be a part of the build-up, the start of the attack. If a keeper gets injured, sick, or has a bad run of form, relying on a backup keeper is a big risk, especially when you're trying to get absolutely every point you can. Rotating between two top keepers is a much better scenario. It complicates things for the opposition as well as they cannot clearly plan an attack based on one keeper's potential weaknesses. They have no idea until the last minute who will be in goal. It's such a crucial position that can make or break your chances at a trophy or top-four standing. I can imagine the apprehension a manager would have if he was forced to put in a backup Keeper towards the end of the season. Arteta has tried to address that risk. I think it's worth a go.

most people are resist to change and risk taking. But to be the best you have to take risk and make bold move. Yes, there might be setback, but I support Arteta on this moves. Keeper's are getting more and more important and involved in the modern day game. As for "Pep doesn't have competition in that position", how do you expect we beat Guardiola's team when we are doing the exactly the same thing he has been doing? Trying to beat the master with his own trick will not pull it, and Arteta's idea on having two different types of keeper, equally good but for different tactics are theoretically sound, we just need to support his decision and belief in the process.

Yes I believe he already has

"There's no proactive action happening.." This statement says a lot about Schmeichel and his knowledge about modern football here...

I mean I used to be on Peter's side but being a chelsea fan, getting Mendy and forcing Kepa to basically sit on the bench for 1.5 seasons, it then turned him into a beast and he came back and saved winning penalties in two shootouts and also went on to start playing well in the league, apart from long shots because of his height. So I think there's some argument

Jamie is Spot on, even though I don't agree with him on many other things..Henry, made sense.I feel the other guys are afraid to say the truth. David Raya is much better and much more confident on the ball, I think Arteta made the right choice

Raya is better than ramsdal

In juventus the rotation of goalkeepers works and worked really well, Szczęsny - Perin now and a few years ago Szczęsny - Buffon. If the goalkeepers are friends and respect each other, for my point of view, there isn’t nothing wrong about rotation. But probably is also very important the attachment to the club, because the most important thing for a goalkeeper is not let the opponent score, everything else doesn’t matter, it isn’t important who is protecting the goal but if it’s well protected.

@youngstars4144

9 ай бұрын

I agree that there probably won't be issues as long as the goalkeepers get on well with each other, but your example has one huge flaw: since 2018/19 Szczesny has always played 28-33 league games and missed a total of 5 European matches. That can't be classified as rotation.

There aint nothing wrong with rotating Keepers. 2 instances it worked brilliantly was when Bravo and Ter Stegen played for Barca and won the treble. Yeah they had their competitions but Ter Stegen played a few league games aswell im pretty sure. 2nd one i remember working well was Bravo again with Ederson at City. You have 2 great keepers so you have to keep the competition and fire with them aswell just like you have with other positions

@youngstars4144

9 ай бұрын

Totally different circumstances. Barca signed both in the same summer when Ter Stegen was 23 and Bravo 32, with the original plan being to have MATS as first choice and Bravo as back-up. The reason they split their duties actually was because Bravo played really well when MATS got injured during pre-season. Eventually though, neither was happy with the situation which is why Barca sold Bravo (and ter Stegen also only played league matches when Bravo was injured). As for Bravo and Ederson at City, that is just dead wrong. Ederson was always the clear first-choice.

If Ramsdale doesn't accept being replaced then I guess Arteta could sell him and make profit. After all Ramsdale came from a relegated club to Arsenal, so logically he should go for a higher price after proving himself at a top club and making the England squad.

Best debate Ive seen on the topic. Overall any Arsenal fan will trust Arteta to make the right decision whether it be rotation or a clear number 1 based on competition.

The main reason for this is the increase number of substitutions, a few years back when they were only three subs allowed a manager wouldn’t even consider this act.

I can see both perspectives having certain validation liked you want the keeper focused on the game and not on things off the pitch and get distracted but you also need the best guy for the job because saving goals is just as valuable as scoring them. However at some point you need to choose one to be #1 and not take ages doing it.

As a Barca fan we too had 2 GKs when we were playing under Luis Enrique, Bravo for the he domestic matches and Ter Stegen for UCL nights. So its completely ok to have 2 separate keepers as long as both are performing well.

Sometimes it works like for Barca with Bravo and Ter Stegen but that’s also grooming them to replace the starter so it’s a double edge sword.

Ok, I'm gonna assume that you are an Arsenal fan and I dearly ask you to not be salty when you answer the questions I ask next. (1)Why wouldn't Ramsdale leave the club? (2)Why is it that you are confident that either of them will willingly put up with this? Remember, there are multiple teams out there on the look for good goalkeepers. Like yesterday, DailyMail reported that Bayern are already set to push a bid as soon as the January transfer window opens(for Rambo). They also confirmed that Chelsea are closely following the case. Madrid may fancy their luck as well. Arteta might be right and he's theory could work out fine. But why would either of the GKs be willing to take the risk. The tradition in football, in big and small teams, is that you get yourself 1 elite goalkeeper, 1 reliable backup, 1 experienced 35+ year old and a forth usually a youngster. One of them will be the 'reliable backup' and neither would want that. And instead of competition he might create genuine animosity. Pep's City build up is the perfect example. He always had a youngster or 2 competing for each role. But more players than not left the team instead of fighting for the spot. Sane, Sterling, Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia, Palmer, Sancho, Romeo-Lavia, Jesus, Zinchenko, and Cancelo to name some. And it only gets more aggravated when it's the GK role. Big Meeks is also another perfect example. He left City while he was offered a lot money cause he knew that Zabaleta would always be preferred. Mikel himself left City as a couch he thought that they would he would never be trusted enough for the main role. Insecurity is always a major issue to consider. I might have extended the questions bit but I just want genuine answers, please do not get salty with it.

@@madeupstory9510 first is that nobody in the club must rest on their laurels... Jens Lehman came to replace the Legendary David Seamans. Joe Hart was still City no1 when Pep brought Claudio Bravo from Barca. Victor Valdes was still in goal for Barca when Ter Stegen and Bravo was brought in at Barca. The idea is very simple, put in the shift challenge each other till you reach your highest. If Ramsdale don't enjoy competition he should go to a place where he's guaranteed 1st team spot with no competition. He did that at Shefield and Bournemouth and with all due respect they all were relegated. So, Arteta is right! We need to embrace this revolution that is coming especially in football apart from reducing the numbers of players or reducing the size of the pitch or minutes played or having body camera on live tv, I welcome this idea.

look at Ederson stats.

Raya proved it again against PSV. Clean sheet at home. Let Arteta do his thing.

Arteta is changing .. he took Leno over Martinez because of sentiment and instantly regretted it even tho Martinez was better .. then he took Ramsdale over Leno but Ramsdale had to wait for his time to shine .. now Ramsdale has just been put straight out for Raya .. also our goalkeeper coach was from Brentford so he obviously been singing his praises in relation to Ramsdales mistakes which is mainly composure and conceding near post

Teams sign players for a rational reason. It might be the case where Arteta saw tiny flaws in Ramsadale that a lot of pundits did not see and believed that Raya does not have those issues. That is up to Arteta to decide while Arteta is taking responsibility for what player he chooses to play. I completely understand Peter and Rob's point but I trust a professional coach's choice more than those pundits.

You can rotate keepers. Its just obviously as soon as one makes a mistake the reaction will be “should’ve started the other one” The only way you stop this is having a world class GK which Arsenal don’t have. They have a ok Ramsdale and a good Raya. So they can probably get away with rotation. Where as City/Liverpool with their world class keepers cant.

In all in for this rotation. They are both great GKs. As long as Arsenal win games.

They act like they are sensitive little babies who can't handle competition. We hear about the club investigating character a lot before signing people, I'm sure they made sure they signed ultra comptetitive and ultra confident players. These guys have top mentalities and if they don't they shouldn't be here, so I too see no issue with it.

I'm surprised to see how a shorter keeper like Raya has better stats than many tall keepers. His reflexes are superhuman level tbh. But still feel bad for Rambo!

I somehow agree with Schmichel, teams need to have some anchor players, the keeper and skipper are some of the anchors

I’m an Arsenal fan, I love the way Arteta is confusing them. It was Gabriel first, now Raya

Peter is right, you want continuity and stability in goal more than any other position. In a sense the goalkeeper is much like the quarterback in American football. Arteta brought Raya to replace Ramsdale imo, he's just being vague about his true intention. Next season Ramsdale will be playing for another club.

Do we all forget that Barcelona omce had Claudio Bravo playing only at Liga games and Ter Stegen for UCL and Copa and they won the UCL at that time and Liga aswell if im not incorrect

If you are an Arsenal fan and follow the team like we regularly do you will see that Ramsdale is not that great. He is a good keeper. I don’t know much about Raya but I am sure Arteta sees them both in the training and it looks like he has made his mind up and I am happy with it
