We're pretty sure David Raya is a better goalkeeper than Aaron Ramsdale; we're far less certain he's a better Arsenal goalkeeper.
We’re pleased for Aaron Ramsdale. It’s lovely that he’s become a father. Well done on the baby and all that. Tremendous stuff. But, selfishly, the timing has rather peed us off.
It would be amazing. And, frankly, it’s pretty likely that it’s going to happen at some point anyway. If not the substitution itself, then at least another situation where it’s an option if he’s serious about the policy. Because goalkeepers make mistakes and David Raya currently makes several. And that’s why, if it were our decision – which inexplicably it is not – we’d rather have Aaron Ramsdale in our goal if we were Arsenal manager.
Yet right now none of that means Raya is a better Arsenal goalkeeper than Ramsdale. He is visibly struggling with it all. The extra attention that comes from being Arsenal goalkeeper and the extra competition that comes from having another keeper breathing down his neck, are the only really plausible explanation for why it’s going a bit wrong. Especially as. He kept a clean sheet against Manchester City, and has conceded just four goals in five Premier League games.
Raya’s starting position for Mudryk’s goal was just an absurd piece of decision-making. It’s surely born of a desire to be a proactive front-foot keeper and it smacks of someone still trying to convince themselves they belong at the level they’ve now reached, never mind trying to convince anyone else.
