But playing out from the back comes from an understanding with your defence that needs to be maintained.

Can’t just drop a keeper in once every 20 games and then ask them to keep the same fluidity the defence have with Raya, regardless of concentration.

Should've either went all in with Raya and brought him or stuck with Ramsdale. Raya had issues too when he came in.

I don’t see why a keeper is less able to cope with coming in and out of the side than a CB, especially in the Premier League where they’re expected to be capable on the ball.

It’s the kind of old skool received wisdom that I enjoy seeing challenged - in the case of Arteta and Arsenal it’s just a shame they’re trying it with a keeper who freely admits he struggles to maintain focus.

Fair enough, but I think you’d see the same mishaps if another CB came in and filled in for Saliba/Gabriel every so often. Takes a lot of time to build up the trust required to play this kind of football.

Part of me thinks the whole 2 goalkeepers thing was just PR anyway to keep Ramsdale somewhat happy/competing since he’d only just signed not long ago. As soon as Raya settled it was clear who number 1 is and if Raya signs in the summer can guarantee they’ll ship Ramsdale out quickly.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Thank fuck for that, Arsenal can’t slip up on a weekend where City and Pool can take points off each other

 

[HadjiChippo]

So have we binned off this “don’t surround the ref” rule or what? Pisses me off when you see 4/5 players charge the ref screaming for a decision.

Yeah I think that’s the main thing - I don’t think there’s anything inherently bad about rotating keepers, I just don’t really see the value in it.

It’s gone in the same bin as the managers staying in the technical area and other people not going in there

We don’t grow up, just get older

I’m convinced there isn’t a rule book anymore, just a vague set of guidelines that officials follow or ignore as it suits.

The presenter and pundits on premier league live look like they've dressed for a funeral.

Crazy how much that guys earnings outweigh his talent. One of the most overrated midfielders I can think of possibly ever.

Sky love mo Salah don't they.

They nearly missed the pen incident creaming over him

 

[Tommo1993]

Oh you silly boy

 

[chiefdave]

How is that not a red for dangerous play? I can't see Collins or Wilson staying on the pitch if they did that

 

[Nick]

Almost don't want goals to not hear this prick trying to make up poems

 

[chiefdave]

Standard of commentary is shockingly bad these days.

In fact the whole presentation of live football is a shambles these days. They've massively over complicated something really simple

He should just be saying what's happening on the pitch. Don't need his fucking poems.

 

[Nick]

Can see that fucking the title up for man city

Hearing his voice at the start was like seeing a brown envelope posted through your door.

Gary Neville as well, comparing the City goal to the disallowed Liverpool one in the Carabao Cup Final

 

[Evo1883]

Unreal ball by salah , nunez is not a top tier forward sorry

How are Liverpool not winning this

 

[Tommo1993]

Don’t know how Diaz doesn’t finish that either.

 

[Evo1883]

Liverpool only themselves to blame if they lose this

 

[Nick]

Diaz looks like a rat version of biamou

 

[Evo1883]

Liverpool dominant
