Jamie Redknapp shares what he thinks about Ramsdale. Redknapp said that those who think Aaron Ramsdale needs to leave Arsenal are wrong. He said this owing to David Raya’s display against Chelsea. Redknapp was speaking on Sky Sports after the Spaniard made a really poor error, leaving the Gunners needing a brilliant comeback to earn a point from their trip to Stamford Bridge. Though, Ramsdale missed the game due to some personal reasons. Arteta’s believe in Raya has made many suggesting the 25-year old Englishman to leave the club in near future. Although, Raya has not justified his performance to be the first-choice yet.
Moreover, Raya conceded the second goal in a very much unprofessional manner. Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp said,
“A lot’s going to be said about Aaron Ramsdale now. But I actually think, forget Ramsdale for a second, what’s actually happened with this has made [Raya] look worse. He looks like a bag of nerves right now.”
“David Raya is really struggling with the pressure and scrutiny that he’s under. He’s giving the ball away. He’s looking like he’s always going to concede goals. This hasn’t helped him, this situation.
“People said he should leave, Aaron Ramsdale. I disagree, I think he should hang in there. Because I’m not convinced, the way he’s given away so many goals. He’s complicated a situation that he really didn’t need to, Mikel Arteta.”
It will be interesting to see what Arteta will make out owing to this Raya’s performance. He may feel that keeping faith with Raya is the best way to restore his confidence. But he surely cannot feel that he is playing well enough right now.
