David Raya (1)

This horseshit from the back penalty camera angle deprived us of viewing that second save it its fully evolved form.

Does Raya get a 10/10 for his performance?

I’d say so.

If a clean sheet plus a double penalty save doesn’t get you a 10 idk what could!

I’m glad I was always team Raya over Ramsdale :eyes:

Raya has proven quite emphatically that Arteta / Cana made the right choice here.

His command of the area and ability to claim crosses is the best in the league. I dont watch enough continental football these days to say he’s the best in Europe but he’s gotta be right up there.

He’s got outstanding anticipation, decision making and confidence to catch the ball in congested areas. He releases pressure on the whole team when he does that. Against City and tough away grounds, that attribute is utterly invaluable.

His ability on the ball to play it short or long is also perfect for our system.

And now he’s making absolutely decisive, world class saves.

He’s performing at an unbelievable level right now. He’s so well rounded. The only keeper in the world I’d swap him for is Becker just because he makes those game changing saves on such a regular basis that he’d probably be the only guy who saves us more points than Raya.

Unbelievable save but what the fuck was the Atalanta player doing with that casual finish.

Gave Raya the chance and he gobbled it the fuck up, hope he had nightmares about it last night.

He did an Ollie Watkins.

I’m inclined to give Raya the credit - he’s done this sort of save twice in the space of a few games.

It’s actually insane how quickly he gets up after the penalty save. Superhuman speed.

He’s the best goalkeeper we had in my time as an Arsenal fan.

Incredible goalkeeper

Best goalkeeper in about 15 years, maybe more. He’s immense. I didn’t watch the 2nd half, but from what I read in the matchday thread, he was sensational.

Only a slight upgrade on Ramsdale imo. Waste of a transfer

Isn’t a slight upgrade an upgrade?

We got someone that could save us points, win us games.

A little bit downgrade of Raya would make us emptied hand today at Etihad.
A little bit downgrade of Raya, Atlanta could have defeated us.

An upgrade is an upgrade.

Bavin is being facetious. That’s the joke.
