Ramsdale is a better shot stopper. I wouldn't say he's a better GK though because that's really the only thing he does better and Raya still has the higher save percentage of the 2. Even if you forget kicking and distribution, Raya also is almost laughably better at claiming the high ball in the box and dealing with corners despite being shorter.Ramsdale is a better shot stopper and a better GK than Raya.
Doesn't matter in the slightest.
Why?
Because Raya allows us to play our style of football for 90 minutes, and allows us to play it from front to back, side to side, through the middle, cycle it back, restart and keep going.
If, like Ramsdale, you keep kicking the ball back to the opposition, and allowing them chances to break the game and make it sloppy, you're gonna have to make a worldy or two every game.
Raya can't make those saves. Fine. But Raya allows us to play in a way where those kinds of saves aren't necessary that often.
Ramsdale makes those saves a necessity.
