London –
Doubt that decision Mikel Arteta believe David Raya rather than Aaron Ramsdale starting to stick out. Raya appeared unconvincing in the last two matches Arsenal.
David Raya has been Arsenal’s main choice in goal in the last few matches. This Spanish goalkeeper was brought in by the Gunners earlier this season from Brentford for 27 pounds.
Raya replaced Aaron Ramsdale, who in the previous season was the main choice. Raya had appeared promising.
This is in line with Arsenal being able to top the Premier League standings. However, doubts about Raya’s abilities began to emerge after he made minimal saves in the last two matches against Luton Town and Aston Villa.
In the match against Luton, Raya only made one save and conceded three goals. Fortunately, Arsenal still won 4-3.
Meanwhile, in the match against Villa, Arsenal lost 0-1 in the middle of the week. Raya only made two saves. This defeat also pushed the London Cannon from the top of the standings.
Criticism for Raya began to emerge regarding this matter. Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Jamie O’Hara, believes that Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, made a mistake in bringing in Raya.
O’Hara said Raya was just better in terms of build up than Ramsdale. Meanwhile, Ramsdale’s ability to repel opponents’ attacks is very solid, as shown last season.
“The following season, he signed David Raya who, in my opinion, was no better than Ramsdale. His distribution was maybe a little better, but he wasn’t good at receiving crosses and he got a lot of shots all the time,” said O’Hara as quoted by the Standard .
“I don’t see how he’s a better goalkeeper than Ramsdale and I can’t see how Arteta got it right. He’s actually created a huge problem for himself – he’s now annoyed Ramsdale, who has to pretend on camera that he was happy he had been replaced,” he explained.
