There’s nothing wrong with Raya or our defence but apart from Saka, our attack is barely mid table level, so perhaps sort that out before having yet another GK change.

Yep.
You can improve everywhere but our defence is top level really.
On the other hand if it weren’t for those Rice free kicks we wouldn’t get past Madrid, with all our great play there.
Attack needs to be the absolute priority. A GK is an absolute luxury atm. Raya is fine.
Well, we do need a new goalkeeper, and signing a wasteman like Neto ain’t gonna cut it.
We saw him against Girona, that’s some of the worst goalkeeping I’ve seen from an Arsenal goalkeeper, and I’ve seen some pretty awful ones.
If we’re gonna sign someone, it might as well be someone that can genuinely compete with Raya, and that might as well be the guy we wanted last summer that is now the best goalkeeper in La Liga.
Weird conclusion to draw as we scored three other goals and missed a pen.

If we were better these two games could of been career defining for Raya. Penalty save in the semi final of the CL and then a couple days later some huge saves away at our title rivals. Unfortunately all for nothing.

Much prefer our top GK to be wearing the No.1 shirt…hopefully this isn’t the kiss of death as it was for Ramsdale though!
Commiserations to David Raya on losing his place as Arsenal’s first choice goalkeeper.
You’re right, that number is cursed.
Number 1 and Number 9. These numbers don’t work out well here.
Some mistakes have had the spotlight on them but generally I think he’s been excellent for us. I don’t think he got anywhere near enough credit for keeping us in the PSG tie. That save off Doue in the first leg was solid.
If Saka buried that sitter he could have been a key catalyst for a hell of a comeback there. 1 goal behind with 12 mins + stoppage time to go? Every chance we force extra time but that miss pretty much final nailed us.

Quite a suprise that. But also, not.

Surprised that he’s had this many clean sheets or that Sels is up there with him?
Had no idea who he was tied with

Want to watch his saves back later. Two poor passes out to Newcastle which almost resulted in goals and some poor kicks but overall very good today.
