The only thing Ramsdale is better than Raya is shot-stopping trait. Arsenal defends were not as solid as the current one, and we saw a lot of wonderful saves from Ramsdale. However, Ramsdale is poorer than Raya in many area - calm, resiliency, positioning, box commanding, ball distribution. I love Ramsdale, but Raya is un upgrade of him.

Raya's cross stopping ability is really good. And when one of your go to defensive tactics in to overload the centre and allow space out wide, it's critical. So we've used Raya in order to play a better defensive strategy m

As an arsenal fan I was gutted to see Ramsdale 'replaced'. Can 100% see the difference in the two keepers although marginally I do think Raya is better. Especially when it comes to commanding the box.

This guy literally has the most clean sheets right now and Arsenal are first right now too. That's enough reason to say he deserves the spot in goal. He's literally saved more shots than most keepers.

Arsenal fans saying its due to defence😂😂😂 This is the same defence last season saliba only missed last 6 league games...same defence. Last season Arsenal were conceding avoidable goals as much as they were flying high on the table. This season with Raya he installed calmness and composure which made the defence calm too and less individual mistakes. Ramsdale is good at savings but this is Arsenal not crystal palace or Burnley who are behind the ball and recieve attacks after attack and depend on Goalkeeper savings. Arsenal are always the team to keep possession and thats where they need a keeper like Raya who is part of the possession.

ramsdale was never 'good with his feet' average at best. the number of mistakes and times he thought he had more time than he did was so painful to watch, despite his great shot stopping. arteta made the right call for the type of football he wanted from the team

Martinez is better than both. If Raya keep making mistakes like that - Arsenal will have to pay more and more, actually they have been eliminated from Champions League by his mistakes in Bayern Munich game - Champions League is where personal mistakes will be punished by big opponents. You simply cannot afford those kind of mistakes time after time in important games

As an arsenal fan raya is better❤

We need better than raya to compete at the top

Artetas secret to finish 2nd again, what a genius 😂😂😂

Arteta only saw his compatriot in rayo that's all that guy is not good at all

Raya is the reason we are not playing tonight.

I'm sorry, but in Raya first 29 EPL matches, he has only made 41 saves, and both keepers have made 49 total. The next busiest is City, with 69 total against. Our keepers have been making something like 1 .3 saves a game. They have had it easy.. Rayas save percentage in those 29 games is a poor 67%, and in those 29 EPL games, Matt Turner has a better save percentage . Raya has made at least 8 major errors. 2 against Spurs, 3 against City 1 against Chelsea, and 2 against Luton. That's an error for every 5 saves he makes. Raya didn't win the golden glove by himself with the type of saves Ramsdale had to make the last 2 seasons. He has had the benefit of the best CB pairing in the league complimented by great FBs and a front-line press that keeps the ball up the pitch more than any other team. Raya's only saving grace is he can pass the ball, which has mildly helped us this season, but it has not been the game breaker. Some made it out to be and have actually cost us goals through his poor passes. I personally think the Golden Glove is given for the wrong reason. It should be given to the keeper that makes the most saves, not keepers that blessed with great teams infrontvof them. Raya is not worth the 30 million plus whatever a backup will cost. There is not enough of any kind of an improvement to warent that kind of money being spent when we have much more pressing needs. Yes, Ramsdale made some errors last season but not 1 for every 5 saves, and by my count last season, I made 32 big saves in the EPL alone. Without those saves, we don't finish 2nd and probably don't get 4th. By the way I believe Raya is ranked around 15 in the league. Your stats comparing the 2 are very misleading as Ramsdale did not have the the defence infront of him that Raya has had , he lost the spin of the team half way through the season when Party and Saliba went down. Ramsdale had to rely on the likes of Elneny and Holding . They are very different keepers, and with Raya coming out a lot more, which has cost us goals against with the last example just a few games ago. His communication skills with his defenders have also been questionable, costing us at least 2 EPL goals. Stats are only reliable with proper context, so any comparisons are pointless. You can't even compare this season because Ramsdale's starts have been few and far between, and the rust shows when he is called upon. If we don't win the title it wasn't because of the games against Villa Fulham and West Ham. We were never in those games to win them. It will be because we drew against Spurs and Chelsea. We should have won those games but Raya made 2 huge errors that cost us 2 wins and 4 points. Those 4 points put us ahead with our destiny in our hands not Citys

Nothing about Raya is stealing the show. Good with his feetz & absolutely nothing else. The fact you equated Raya & Ramsdale's shot stopping is laughable. He's not saved us 1 game this season, & dif not for our super strong team we would have lost 6 more games due to him. Whereas last year Ramsdale def saved us some games.
