Raya has added a calming influence to the entire team, especially in defence. Ramsdale was too excitable, immature maybe, and that nervous energy spread through the team. Hopefully he will learn from the influence Raya has. Raya is always available and prepared to play higher to support an option when we play out, which he is asked to do…
Raya has added a calming influence to the entire team, especially in defence. Ramsdale was too excitable, immature maybe, and that nervous energy spread through the team. Hopefully he will learn from the influence Raya has. Raya is always available and prepared to play higher to support an option when we play out, which he is asked to do. Risk reward. He helps us overload against the press & is always an option when we are under pressure. I don't think enough people realise what an influence he has had on the structure of our team. We have 9 clean sheets in our last 14 PL games, have scored 45 goals so I'm not sure why your first comments after the 5-0 win is to moan about Raya. Unless you self-identify as Ramsdales Dad?
Well said, San Sebastian. One cannot overemphasize the implications of that "calming effect". Everyone can play their game to the max without nervously looking over their shoulders when the ball hurtles towards our end. So glad Raya has won the Golden Glove.
Apologies didn’t know that you set the rules for what to post or not. What a stupid comment- Ramddale’s Dad!! I said Raya was no better than Ramsdale. No comment I see about the goals he’s let ion which he should have saved . But he’s “ a calming influence!” Great.!

You said: "New to this site having been on Teamtalk since 2005, but that's a joke now with one regular poster who cannot stomach any dissent."
Ever considered the problem might be you? I was very polite but as a Chelsea fan I can see why you are all wound up today.
Is this Le Grove or not? You are in my email box and I don’t want that. If you are a Chelsea fan what do you know about Raya?
You're the Chelsea fan, clearly. I'm a proud Gooner with a team that is starting to frighten the life out of rival fans.
