The 2 #1s thing is dead in the water. Ramsdale has only played the Carling Cup since Raya came into the team. We are no more going with 2 #1s than we were last season.
Mirth Qwiss Of course, but if Raya costs us a couple of times we'll hear plenty about goalkeeper substitution.
The 2 #1s was just something that was said to deal with the media
Seems that way, though I'm not fully convinced this is how it will pan out as the season goes on. I think once things settle with Raya you'll start to see Aaron come in now and then in the league/CL.
this podcast confirmed some things. from the first video of him in training i noticed he caught everything compared to ramsdale and that his gloves were huge. i thought he was wearing them loose so that they could look big, but his hands are actually huge (11 1/2) and he wears his gloves tight. he also said he wears slippery gloves in training so that he can concentrate extra hard on catching and then it's easier with regular gloves.
I feel Raya's alleged advantage distribution over Rambo is overemphasised. The main reason we hired him is because Ramsdale has some dodgy shot saving technique, reflected in the stats.
so why wasn't he suffering and hurting when he's #2 to some relegation fodder keeper with england.
Meatwad that's a weird take.
Maybe his perspective on how hierarchy works in the national team diverges from how hierarchy works at Arsenal.

He could consider that Southgate is a clueless coach and then the very fact that Pickford maintains the number 1 spot is itself very arbitrary.
He will probably leave next season, just hope we get a good fee.
reckon we could get a really good fee from an english. could see a villa/west ham level club going for him
quite a fall from grace in a fairly short space of time. seems like he was a club hero barely 1 year ago
clickbait headline
Gazza M seems like he was a club hero barely 1 year ago
he still can be
The headline is trash. Perfectly reasonable attitude.
Coombs indeed. If he was happy right now it'd be completely the wrong attitude.

Ramsdale back in now please.
Aaron has to start next match. That's the fair move
naz difficult to argue with that. Don't expect it to happen but here's hoping.
He's just not 30m better than Ramsdale. In fact, if what he has shown is anything to go by, he is the poorer keeper.
I can't believe people said Ramsdale has never exude calm and confidence like Raya did. Nonsense.
Clrnc they just said that to have something to wax lyrical in matches where he had nothing to do.
