I understand that a lot of Arsenal fans are worried about Aaron Ramsdale position at the club after David Raya replaced him in Goal against Everton on Sunday. To be honest, I knew Arteta liked Raya from way back and he was going to give him a chance to challenge for the shirt. What surprised me was that Ramsdale has not commited any "blunder" so far this season but he has been dropped. That says a lot about the standards Arteta is setting. It goes beyond obvious blunders.
Raya's calmness and distribution alone already give him an edge. I saw the stats about crosses claimed since last season. Raya beats Ramsdale hands down. I’m sure he considered all these things before he made the decision.
It was difficult on Sunday for Arsenal but they got the three points and moved away from Gudison Park with much different feelings than last season where they lost 1-0 there.This was the most important thing for Arsenal,they need to get the three points as much as they can and then think about what to fix in the actual team.Fixing in football is an ongoing procedure and the coach is responsible for fixing such things as when the team does not work anymore,in the sense that they lack results in some consecutive games,with Arsenal this is not the case and it is good that there is a lot of competition inside the team which only benefits the team in the long run.
