He should have the same energy to Raya. He has made multiple howlers himself since coming in
As much as I love Ramsdale and would be devastated to see him leave, at it is clear many of his teammates would also be, he fully deserves to be playing consistently and to have the full support of a manager behind him. Not sure what’s happened between him and Mikel this season because they seemed to have a great relationship up until recently and he even got a big new shiny contract at the beginning of the season, but it’s bizarre and Ramsdale deserves better.
Same thing happened with KT. Contract extension and then benched.
KT I sort of understand, we had arguably better options and it seems like Arteta was making selections purely on form. I would not say that Raya is significantly better or makes less mistakes than Ramsdale. Pair that with Arteta’s odd comments about substituting keepers when he first brought in Raya and his frigid attitude towards Aaron in interviews etc, it feels like something went down behind closed doors that we don’t know about and now Arteta is doing this out favoratism/straight up power move.
