Reeling from Laca & Kos nightmares
Only a handful of us could see that Raya was a huge upgrade, too many people fell for the Ramsdale propaganda due to the constant interviews and podcasts.

Teams show you what they think of goalkeepers - Onana is very good shot stopper this season but he has zero presence and command of his box which is a significant factor. We continued to drop our corners right on his head because we know he's terrible with dealing with them.

Disagree, Raya has made some insane saves this season, Onana doesn't make that many saves that you wouldn't expect him to make. Also Raya is way more commanding on crosses and set pieces, look how passive Onana was against us on our corners, we could have scored 5.
Raya is a better GK than Onana,,on all the apects you mentioned also the modern need for distribution from the back via feet.

We're probably done with the goalkeeper debate for quite some time. It's his jersey.
Raya and Onana comparisons? lol
Onana is good playing from the back and ball at his feet. That is about it in terms of his consistency. He is slow to react to shots and his mistakes can just kill a team's momentum and opportunity to win. The Forest goal kicked right to him that he missed was a prime example. Wasting 43 seconds at the end of the Forest game when they needed to score was another.
The other comparison would be Ederson but he has been benched. lol
Stakes are high and you can't afford mistakes from your Goalkeeper. Look at Kelleher against Newcastle not saving the cross. Cost them 2 points.
This is why we moved on from Ramsdale. GK's make mistakes but just can't make the backbreaking ones that cost you games.
Raya is at the top of his game and among the best in goalkeeping.

He should've done better with the goal today tbh.

Not sure with his height he could have done better. Perfect far corner finish imo

Sometimes you just have to give credit where it's due. That was a great strike. You're talking maybe Courtois that could get to that and probably nobody else.

About Raya being the best keeper in the PL? Sure, let's chat.

With the defending? Definitely. Awful from the lot of them, most notably Kiwior and Timber. Raya, however, can’t be blamed. He can’t cover more to his right as he leaves the near post exposed, can’t narrow the angle as Jimenez has time he could chip him etc. Not taking anything away from Jimenez though - excellent finish.

Not sure even Courtois saves it - nightmare for a keeper with the angle and time Jimenez has. If Raya had got a hand to it and kept it out, it would be up there as one of the saves of the season.

He’s not saving a lot is he? Feel looking back at some of the goals we’ve conceded he could do much better.

The goals we've conceded have been class. Which goals could he have done better?
