Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Have I missed something about Arsenal's keeping situation? Seems to me Arteta have gone for Raya has the number 1 keeper. Why are people make it seem like they have 2 number 1s fighting for the spot on a game by game basis?

Arteta didn’t definitively say that Raya was his #1 when he signed and was alluding to rotating between the two based on opposition/competition. Factor in that Raya has undoubtedly had shaky moments in the last 4-5 games, it’s created this current situation because Ramsdale is a fan favourite.

Everything raya was praised about I don't see it.

All this talk I heard about he'll distribute the ball better and ish.

Swear they need to do a crossover with Inside the NBA

I'd love to see a Shaq and Micah interaction, lol

Statistically its there, but there are still moments that feel like when Leno was trying to play out the back. His risk management seems to be poor. I'd like to see some counter pressing passes

Lol that fukking cutaway was too deliberate. Had to be planned.

I think Raya was brought in to replace Ramsdale. I just don't think Arteta wanted to be blunt about it. Ramsdale being a fan favourite might be an issue but I think he's definitely the number 2. Just like Ramsdale was brought in to replace Leno. I don't think Arteta explicitly said Ramsdale was the new number 1 when signing him.

I thought it was for the player who performed the best over the previous year not who won the most in a team sport
