So one goalkeeper has played 7 Premier League games this season and the other has played 5 so it’s clear that the manager wants to and does utilise two number 1 goalkeepers, that’s despite neither of them being able to keep a single clean sheet this season which shows it’s obviously hampering the team.

You think I’m talking about Ramsdale, Raya and Arteta right? Nope.

Steele, Verbruggen and De Zerbi at Brighton.

The media have had their pants in a twist all season over the situation with Ramsdale and Raya, despite there not being a situation at all, Raya is clearly number one and Ramsdale, well, isn’t. Every club (almost every club) has a number one and a back up and Arsenal are no different. So why has this been made such a big deal out of when Brighton quite literally have and use two number 1 goalkeepers to their detriment and no one has said a word?

If it’s because Arsenal are a far bigger club so it’s more of a story then that shows they don’t really give a shit about the situation, they just want to have a pop at Arsenal as usual.

    My man over here using big club bias (which does exist, mention Liverpool or United and you get clicks) instead of noticing that Ramsdale is English and in that title chasing Arsenal side could have pushed Pickford out of the No.1 spot just before the Euros.

    if Ramsdale played for Wales I can guarantee nobody would be talking about it this much.

    Further Arsenal spent a fair amount of money on a relegated keeper who came in and not only did well but became a big presence in a title chasing team.

    The situation at Brighton doesn’t have the same factors and therefore lacks flair.
