Have any of you actually seen something that makes you think Raya is a better keeper? Actually curious cause I don't necessarily believe he is, certainly not with the ball at his feet
He's a better long passer. Especially under pressure, but everything else, I prefer Ramsdale. Only time will tell though.
@rishado I think it was Tim Stillman who pointed out that he isn't as quick to resort to aimless long balls. Presumably Arteta wants his keeper to play this way.
It feels like despite Ramsdale's outward image when talking shit at rival fans, he's not quite confident enough in his own abilities to stay calm in the way that Raya does at that kinda LCB ish position. That might be the factor here.
