Rene Higuita was born too early.Arteta is right, Ramsdale took one too many touches to be our number 1 GK, you could tell that after game 3.
England loves their "flying" goalkeepers, that is why Ramsdale was highly praised, because of his reflex, same with Pitchfork, you just love that sort of GK. Well, the GK is now a libero first and a GK second, so, yes, without Raya our build up will still look sloppy. Raya´s distribution positioning and calmness with the ball just made us a much better team. He is a massive improvement in every department.
He would have been prime commodity these days instead of being stuck in South America.
He was a GK, libero, midfielder and occasionally set piece taker.
