Aaron Ramsdale

[CoopersDream]

As a keeper (stop laughing, former teammates) myself (before I started to fall apart due to age!), I think he's one of the reasons Arsenal have improved so dramatically over the past 18 months. No idea why people here can't see how he's steadied their defence and improved their confidence (as a complete opposite to DDG).

I think his impact is overstated. I think it's more about the team improving rather than any direct influence of Ramsdale. His best attribute is his confidence, but he's pretty average with the ball, average in the air and at best an average shot stopper. I guess he's pretty good at sweeping. I might be wrong, but I feel Arsenal's uptick in form are down to a lot of their players stepping up, as well as getting good players to join them.

When you look at how many unreal comments there have been from Arsenal supporters on various online media you would think he is the worst keeper in the world, which he is not at all. He has some legitimate strengths.

Much like our fan base with DDG.

Weren’t Arsenal fans hyping this cnut up last season saying he was top quality and should be England’s no.1? What happened? Seems like the club want an upgrade on him already after just one season. Which of course is beneficial for Arsenal but is unfortunate for the rest of us who were hoping they’d stick with him for years to come.

You don't have to be an Arsenal fan to think England could do better than Pickford.

True, there’s no arguments there but I do remember him being praised heavily by Arsenal fans last season so what happened? I personally don’t rate him highly at all but for the club to be looking to upgrade after a season something must be wrong. Raya isn’t being brought in to be a back up, not for that type of money and also the fact he’s a superior keeper to Ramsdale anyway.

 

[Robbie Boy]

He's absolute dog shite. Raya would be a massive upgrade.

 

[SilentWitness]

His dad speaks too much.

 

[Lash]

He's a jumped up cnut, can't wait to see him monumentally flop next season. Ridiculously overhyped.

 

[RedRocket9908]

What on earth was he doing on that first Brentford goal? Absolute howler, no wonder David Raya is ahead of him.

 

[ThierryHenry14]

He made a mistake but he made couple good saves as well. He is a bit rusty without game time.

An understatement.

 

[GoonerGirly]

Horrible mistake and I thought that was our title challenge gone. Thought he was ok otherwise, but you could see how he's digressed without game time. Definitely doesn't have the confidence of the team.

Yeah think he digressed to his other favourite golf judging from all that dithering, unfortunately

It must be hard when you're not playing to keep engaged and focused. I think he probably lacks the professionalism or maturity at this level. Amazing that Arteta has got this one right; so many people were questioning why he made the change.
