Ramsdale had 2 very good seasons and became a fan favourite so he had that going for him and the fans were on his side and had sympathy for him. Raya had some shaky moments in his first few games especially with positioning for crosses. The positioning was mainly because of playing a high line in order to press when you don’t have the ball.
Raya has proven himself and his distribution has been very good. I would say though that Ramsdale distributes very well with his hands and Raya is better with his feet. With the system at Arsenal, you need a keeper who has good ball control and gets into place almost like a sweeper to support an open position with the right and left backs when you are defending.
