Ramsdale

[originaltrueblade]

I think the 10 outfield players need looking at first in this instance

All eleven Ramsdale had a shocker whatever way you dress it up

Surely we got a bit of money for him starting these past 2 games for England? You’d hope so anyway. With Henderson going for £20m and us already having Wes, I’ve got to hold my hands up and say very good business by the club (very rare to say with this club)… still doesn’t make up for the fact we spent around £30m on mcburnie and mousset but I’m not sure anything will make up for that

All the add-ons are based on his Arsenal performance and Arsenal's own performance over the length of his contract; specifically qualifying for Europe, his number of appearances, becoming their first-choice.

Ramsdale isn't international quality.

Ramsdale isn't international quality.

Not by a long way. The dive to his right on one of the goals looked like an half hearted attempt. There was no intention of a full stretch to try and reach the ball. If anything his diving length doesn't seem to cover the same amount of ground as his overall height if he simply laid down on the spot. He has zero lift off with his feet like he has concrete boots on.

We saw it all before when he was here. So many goals conceded that you couldn't confidently pin on him, yet you often looked back and felt that the ball hadn't been hit with much power and / or wasn't right in the corner.
The types of goals that a decent starting position avoid completely.

If you said this you'd be given pelters by the folk being fooled by the occasional Hollywood save and (in fairness to Ramsdale) excellent distribution.

Still no doubt in my mind as to who was the better keeper between he & Henderson. But then, I'd also pick Nick Pope over Ramsdale and probably Pickford based purely on his England performances (though he's another I don't rate much).

I noted somewhere that an Arsenal fan observed that he makes world class saves for the difficult ones but is a liability for the ones you would expect him to save.
