Feel bad for Rambo.
I never really understand modern footballers. They treat being left out the team like a hate crime. If it’s that bad stick a transfer request in and go get games .
If Maguire, Henderson and Phillips are being called up, Ramsdale has nothing to worry about.
- Asked about whether he’s concerned about losing his place in the England squad ahead of next summer’s European Championship due to a lack of action at Arsenal, Ramsdale responded:
Yes, of course, it is the first time I have found myself in this situation.
'The manager here [Gareth Southgate] is brilliant, he trusts the players he’s worked with before as we’ve seen in different types of ways - you’ll see Kalvin [Phillips] and Harry [Maguire] haven’t played the most amount of minutes but when they step up for England and are given the opportunity, they perform.
But of course, I want to get back into my club team. I want to get into my club team and be able to give the manager a headache rather than just have Jordan [Pickford] as the England number one and me fall by the wayside.’
On his relationship with Raya, the former Bournemouth keeper continued: ‘We work professionally really well together. We push each other in training and there’s days where I come in and I’m down because of the situation and he picks me up.
‘And for whatever reason there might be a day where he’s down and even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing I have to stand up and be able to push him and make sure he’s ready for the weekend if he’s picked to play.’
Kalvn Phillips performed??
Performed a nasty tackle. 🤡
The answer is to put your head down and improve yourself as much as you can, not complain to the media
Said like he was a shoe in for number 1 when he’s actually 3rd choice.
Don’t see his position as 3rd choice in any grave danger at the moment.
signed a new contract in the summer, gets benched, and doesnt even get to play a ucl game, id b fumin,
He’s not locked to Arsenal for Europe then. They could sell him
And Raya looks shaky af
He really doesn’t. He DID in the first half an hour Vs City, but after that he settled. Was also fine in the other games he played other than the Lens game where everyone was a bit shit.
He had a couple shaky moments in the City game, but he does not look shaky af
He doesn’t look shaky af
But he looks shaky ah
Pea brained. Shoo
What about the goals he gifted against Spurs and Lens then?
He flapped against spurs for their first goal as well
Don’t worry, Southgate doesn’t pick players based on form.
Pickford… Pick’s right in the name!
Just joking not hating on Pickford.
He does though but just not purely on club form.
The chaos people want of just picking the most inform players for every time would be a crappy way to try and knit a team together.
Yes he does. International form.
Ramsdale has done a perfectly fine job on England’s bench. Why replace him?
Or minutes played
It’s interesting how all these 90s goalkeepers through their own egomaniacal lense suggested that having two capable goalkeepers at the club was a recipe for disaster, because earning your spot is reserved for all other players in the game.
So far so good. I don’t know if you can keep both at the clubs for years if the pecking order becomes too established, but for this season it definitely seems they both accept it’s a dogfight.
There are some suggestions of tactical flexibility as well, but I think they’re too similar, although there’s probably little differences between them that I don’t understand.
but for this season it definitely seems they both accept it’s a dogfight.
That’s just believing what you want to be true, it’s not a dog fight, there’s a clear pecking order. Ramsdale doesn’t say in the article he’s happy with how things are going, he’s just being a professional and towing the party line. I’d be astonished if his agent isn’t looking for a new club, the chances of him being at the club next season are incredibly low.
It’s been 4 league matches man. Far more likely they assess at the end of the season, when there’s a clear pattern. For all we know Ramsdale starts against Chelsea and the narrative swings to ‘why did Raya join Arsenal’.
Whilst you’re right that it’s only been a few games, if Arteta had decided he needed better than Ramsdale, if he had brought a player to replace him and then given that player time to bed in before making him first choice, it would look precisely the same as what has happened.
Of course there’s a chance I’m wrong but, barring injury to Raya and dead rubbers at the end of the season, it’s quite possible that Ramsdale has played his last premier league game in an Arsenal shirt.
He should be absolutely nowhere near the numero uno spot anyways - Sir Jordan Pickford is the best keeper I’ve seen in an England shirt since I’ve been alive IMO
Born last year
Bro can’t even displace Pickford. A scrub that almost got Everton relegated twice.
Saying that Pickford almost got us relegated only serves to show ignorant you are, no offence. Pickford is one of biggest reasons why we haven’t been relegated yet, literally.
Cuz he’s the best keeper for England in decades
Don’t get what’s so bad about ramsdale seems like he’s had it rough
Sorry I’m out of the loop on this, can someone explain what happened and why he lost no.1 position for Arsenal?
Arteta doesn’t seem to care about his players physical or mental health. He over works them, makes them play through injuries, and then he treats them like this.
going enjoy his downfall.
terrible bait, go work on it
yeah he absolutely hates martinelli and saliba
This feels very editorialized to manufacture drama where there is none.
On the England situation:
‘The manager here is brilliant, he trusts the players he’s worked with before as we’ve seen in different types of ways - you’ll see Kalvin and Harry haven’t played the most amount of minutes but when they step up for England and are given the opportunity, they perform.
So if if that’s the case for myself and I do get shown that trust to play another game if I haven’t played for my club then I will have to repay him.
‘But of course, I want to get back into my club team. I want to get into my club team and be able to give the manager a headache rather than just have Jordan [Pickford] as the England number one and me fall by the wayside.’
That doesn’t sound like fearing for his place in the England squad, it’s more like he wants to push Pickford and himself to be their best and make the decision tough on Southgate because he has two good options.
And on his “suffering” at Arsenal:
‘We work professionally really well together. We push each other in training and there’s days where I come in and I’m down because of the situation and he picks me up.
‘And for whatever reason there might be a day where he’s down and even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing I have to stand up and be able to push him and make sure he’s ready for the weekend if he’s picked to play.’
He is clearly saying in both situations that he wants to challenge for more time, but is also picking up and pushing his competition to be at their best. Interpreting that as “breaking his silence on the ‘suffering’ he has endured” is clickbait.
This feels very editorialized to manufacture drama where there is none.
Well that’s the Daily Mail for you.
