Sorry I’m out of the loop on this, can someone explain what happened and why he lost no.1 position for Arsenal?
Don’t worry, Southgate doesn’t pick players based on form.
Yes he does. International form.
It’s interesting how all these 90s goalkeepers through their own egomaniacal lense suggested that having two capable goalkeepers at the club was a recipe for disaster, because earning your spot is reserved for all other players in the game.
So far so good. I don’t know if you can keep both at the clubs for years if the pecking order becomes too established, but for this season it definitely seems they both accept it’s a dogfight.
There are some suggestions of tactical flexibility as well, but I think they’re too similar, although there’s probably little differences between them that I don’t understand.
Don’t get what’s so bad about ramsdale seems like he’s had it rough
🤷🏽♂️
- Asked about whether he’s concerned about losing his place in the England squad ahead of next summer’s European Championship due to a lack of action at Arsenal, Ramsdale responded:
Yes, of course, it is the first time I have found myself in this situation.
'The manager here [Gareth Southgate] is brilliant, he trusts the players he’s worked with before as we’ve seen in different types of ways - you’ll see Kalvin [Phillips] and Harry [Maguire] haven’t played the most amount of minutes but when they step up for England and are given the opportunity, they perform.
But of course, I want to get back into my club team. I want to get into my club team and be able to give the manager a headache rather than just have Jordan [Pickford] as the England number one and me fall by the wayside.’
On his relationship with Raya, the former Bournemouth keeper continued: ‘We work professionally really well together. We push each other in training and there’s days where I come in and I’m down because of the situation and he picks me up.
‘And for whatever reason there might be a day where he’s down and even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing I have to stand up and be able to push him and make sure he’s ready for the weekend if he’s picked to play.’
Kalvn Phillips performed??
