Just finished watching the Brentford VS Arsenal match and one of the big talking points is Ramsdale’s performance.

After a horror few errors in the first half, I thought he played quite well in the second. Whether that be with his feet or hands, he was commanding and looked very composed.

So I hope people don’t jump into blaming his mistakes blindly because let’s also remembers that Raya has been very shaky too - most notably when he gifted Cole Palmer a great chance in the London Derby.

Sure, Raya will walk into the starting line up next game because Arteta clearly prefers him. But Ramsdale’s quality clearly remains and a lack of game time caused some rustiness. As simple as that.

He’s got too much quality to remain on the bench. It’s surprising that his Arsenal career had taken such a turn after last season’s achievements.

    David Raya is better in every single comparable metric. Don’t know why these Arsenal fans are so loyal to a keeper with limited potential.

    Ramsdale only looked so good because Leno was so terrible at playing from the back. Leno is a better GK than Ramsdale. If Martinez was still at Arsenal. He would be 1st choice over him as well.
