At the end of the day the most important stat for him will be his xG prevented or even better his post-shot xG prevented. That’s a true measure of how good a shot stopper he is which ultimately is still the most important thing.

Statman Dave in this video says Ramsdale has in this season prevented 0.9 expected goals vs Leno's -0.66.
It's not a big sample size, but again shows that Arteta has to start Ramsdale until he makes some mistakes.

If we can't support this bloke now over Leno then I don't know what will. This bloke has all my confidence over him. Leno can complain all he wants, I don't care but Ramsdale tends to have so mich self confidence within himself & our other back 4 which is what is well needed in the GK industry. He's also impressed me a fair bit with a few of his saves his made so far.

Has he complained? Of course he is not happy, but any GK would not be if he is not playing. That's the mentality needed.
Leno has been a good servant to the club and should be respected in that, no need to bash the other.
A club like Arsenal needs two great goalkeepers, and if some GK is not okay with that, they need to be sold, like Martinez.

I think two things are in play here.
1) A lot of fans simply haven't adjusted to the inflation in transfer prices and are still living in 10 or 20 years ago when a Robert Pires cost 6 million.
2) I think a lot of supporters have a snobbish attitude towards buying players from teams they consider 'beneath us'. Doubly so because Wenger basically never bought established players from English teams.
Ramsdale basically cost what we sold Joe Willock for. If you think of it as a NA-sports style trade of Willock for Ramsdale ... holy hell that seems terrific.

I was one of those who was in favour of Ramsdale, but to be fair this "trade" wasn't anywhere near as clear cut at the time. Willock had just broken a PL goal record at age 21. I still personally think that he will come good but can't argue that right now it's all looking like good business.

Yeah Leno has been here for a few years now but GK's have to accept they are not always going to be #1. Leno has to accept he is not going to be #1 anymore unless you think he is still going to be. If we get some good cash for him in January then I'd be happy to let him go.
He has been here for a number of years yes, thanks to him but hardly anyone can stay here for their entire careers. Their comes a time when players have to accept their club careers are finished.

Ha that chance at the end there with Maupay seeing his name up in light and Ramsdale's hand came in 
Did well to get back up and not let his concentration go after getting walloped by Duffy's elbow. Speaking of which Duffy should've been off for that one.

Vital hand near the end, honestly loving watching him at the minute. So confident and again another one who is vocal, the more of them we have the better.
regardless of how meh we were today, you feel this draw might've been a loss if not for him...
A game like today needs someone decisive and with a good shout on him. Think him, Gabriel and White could become something.

I told you that this forum probably rates him based on his relegation teams and beauty standards, even before you called him ugly.
Who is that Riou guy, sounds awful.
Anyway, he had some shaky moments but came back again.
Funny despite facing 20 shots the only time he was in danger when dropped the ball. He wasn't that bothered.

Struggled on high balls a couple of times. People would have sent death threats to Leno for that.
Yes not sure if it was the conditions but wasn't that commanding like his first 3 games

Tbh, that was a tough ball, fast and upward spin on it and rainy weather.
Basically he had to bounce it off the floor back to his hands, which was a bit of a mistake with the opponent coming in.
But otherwise he would have had to fist the ball imo, or try to keep it with likely difficulties. I think it should have been a yellow as it looked like controlling the ball, but a tough call.
Moss was pretty good today, a couple small 50/60 (Nykänen reference) decisions going against Arsenal, but probably the other way around too.

Considering the conditions - a torrential rainstorm with howling wind where you could see high balls bending all over the place - I thought he actually did really well. Games like this are hell for keepers.
On the other hand, I didn't think his distribution and play from the back was nearly as good as in previous games.

Thought he had a great match again. Not perfect, but I really like the attitude he brings in the defence. While Leno felt more like a keeper who showed up to work and did his best, Ramsdale really puts his heart into it. The slight bit of madness is a bonus as well.
He dropped the ball and caused panic but after that he instilled calm, confidence and authority. His distribution was a bit off but then so we're all our passes as we failed yo cope with the bad weather. That interception at the end was match winning level. Its another clean sheet too. The spirit of Seaman is strong in this one-so far.
