Don't necessarily agree with this video, but me made think that you'd have some counterpoints to one Astrealix. Lol
Not exactly sure what you're saying with "made think that" but I do rate Raya, I just rate Ramsdale more :p Raya is definitely better at long distribution, it just terrifies me when he has his ball at his feet basically playing LCB — which Arteta has since said is tactical so oh well lol XD (still terrifying). I'm honestly surprised by Ederson's numbers in the opposite direction — 50% is insanely high. Regarding how he says Raya isn't nervous, I absolutely agree! But I'm very nervous and the gaffer terrifies me LOL. And I still think Ramsdale has had better saves — though if the saves is not the main dynamic, Raya is better for us. I still think that Raya is better if we need to control the game, I just am not sure it's needed for the likes of Bournemouth, Everton... and in those game I feel like Ramsdale making saves when we do make mistakes is worth it. Also yeah, bias towards Ramsdale. I do think if there is much difference, it's quite marginal tbh, but marginal gains could win us a title.
I'm just a random dude behind a monitor though; I trust the gaffer more than myself on football lol. Just, if we could stop getting heart attacks... please... I would very much appreciate that.
Also another thing I am annoyed with which is also on the gaffer is how do we expect Ramsdale will stay if we just play Raya every game? Or do we plan on buying a goalkeeper again to replace Ramsdale as backup, who won't be as good? Mikel said it's tactical and dependent on the game and stuff — so do it? It's not a coincidence that Turner left so soon after coming in, and I'm not convinced it's just because of Raya based on what he's said. And I think Ramsdale has the potential to be a generational keeper for us... or someone else. Just doesn't sit right with me and at the end of the day I'm biased but yeah. I'm not an expert, I trust in Arteta, but it does feel awkward that we spent so much talking about having two top No. 1s only to have one consistently on the bench despite what Arteta's told us.
In a year or two, we'll probably have Raya as our no. 1 and Ramsdale goes off to like, Barcelona to replace MATS or something, and no one will care too much. It just feels odd.
Lol. I meant "made me think that". Hey TDK was a random guy behind the monitor too. You need to get your channel up and going.
I'm pretty biased toward Ramsdale too. I wish he was at least getting a little playing time. I'm not sure we could keep him happy and we should not let him go. I truly miss the way he is at away matches.
