David Raya: King David

[hydrofluoric acid]

He has been good in the second half of the season, good to iron out that nervy moment in away win. Now he will be solid in the final 3 games.

 

[MaraDon]

14 clean sheets this season.

We look like a team that can play from the back against everyone. That was not the case last season.

I get the Ramsdale love, but the improvement is just inmense.

 

[Black Noir]

Obviously that mistake changed the trajectory of the game. Did really with the crosses going in to him, to be fair. Ramsdale would have struggled with those

 

[avenellroad]

Not good enough for me overall to warrant keeping him. An actual world class keeper makes us a ****ing scary team to play.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Wtf was that David I thought we put these mistakes behind us. It put us in unnecessary pressure.

Please no more because we gonna buy you

 

[TakeChillPill]

David is playing Dave

 

[TakeChillPill]

I'm glad it's an option to buy, because I hope we have some sense and don't activate that clause.

 

[Gooner Zig]

His error was a blip in an otherwise almost faultless performance. His cross claiming is a super power. Doesn't deserve to gone in two footed on for that error but he needs to cut that out to take himself to the next level.

 

[Batman]

Dreadful mistake obviously but he's a big part of why we hadn't conceded an away goal since January. He was very solid otherwise. We've seen the likes of Alisson and Ederson do stupid things as well.

If there was ever a time to have a brain fart against that lot, 3-0 up is when to do it. But man, he really put us under pressure when we were all over them.

It's just frustrating as Sp**s were absolutely dead and we were embarrassing them. It should have been a comfortable game.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Dodgy Dave done us dirty there.

 

[GUNNERS4L1FE]

The mistake was weird cos the pass made zero sense.

Gabriel was right there for a simple ball

 

[NieThePiet]

At least he has done it with a 0:3 lead, could be worse.

It will always happen once in a time, but thankfully he has reacted well after the goal.

 

[Rattata]

He slipped on the pitch when he took the goalkick. Unlucky for him.

 

[Sulosky]

Everybody makes mistakes. I'm glad to see Raya didn't panic after that.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Apart from that blunder and misjudging one cross that Romero headed over he was flawless. Since the winter break he has been very good too but I'm a little uncomfortable when GK's/defenders make big mistakes when under no pressure.

Everyone makes mistakes and if it happens once or twice (max three times) it isn't too much cause for concern. Luckily second half of season he hasn't made many but if we look at the whole season he has made five or six big mistakes, which you can't afford in an elite team.

Think overall he has done well but needs to really minimise the blunders.

 

[albakos]

He could have lost us the league in one blow. He plays because of his distribution, not his skills as a goalkeeper. That was abysmal, unnecessary, nervous rubbish. He has excellent stats because he rarely has to make a save.

The Burnley keeper Aro Muric from yesterday's match at United looked excellent in his distribution and footwork.

Arteta knows him from when he was Ederson's deputy few years ago. Maybe we can look to get him and decide not to buy Raya after the loan ends.

Disclaimer: He is the keeper of my country, but I seriously was impressed with him. Only recently did Kompany decide to switch his keepers, and they had the best period by getting 13 points in last 8 matches, out of 24 total in season

Everybody makes mistakes. I'm glad to see Raya didn't panic after that.

yet post has been his bf past few game agendas going on here , i think rambo is car crash but come on

 

[dashsnow17]

What fascinates me about that mistake is, this guy is supposed to be one of the best GKs with his feet, yet that type of error in misjudging the connection on the ball for a pass, you literally never see an outfield player do that, even defenders. Makes you realise even the best technical GKs are still absolutely light years away from midfielders in technique.
