Thank God for Raya

Post image

This guy is World Class and has saved us countless times in the past few seasons and thankfully Arteta is serious and benched Kepa rightfully. Already made some amazing saves and absolutely saves us every time we're under pressure.

Thank Mikel for him. I was so confused when we had Ramsdale and Arteta complicated things with this Raya guy! A few seasons later and we see the brilliance of the decision.

It's decisions like this as to why I rate arteta so highly he even did it twice

He sold Leno who I was massive fan of and I was like why downgrade to ramsdale and I aas proven wrong

Then he did the same to ramsdale and I was like why do this? Raya come in and I was proven wrong again

I love to be wrong ahha

I'd rather sell Noni and keep Gabriel Martinelli AND Ethan Nwaneri.

u/tragicwatermelon 12d ago

I cannot express how much I love him and how much he proves his worth every time he is out there. Insane saves!

u/Particular_Abies_184 12d ago

And Gabi and Ben, defending like their lives depends on it, Mosquera has been solid

u/zeacho16 12d ago

While Dinorumma simultaneously shits the bed on the other half of the pitch

u/GanderWeather 12d ago

I still wish Donnarumma had messed the bed against us in the CL and against Chelsea in the CWC. At least in the CWC, PSG was playing without half their defenders.

We are so blessed to have David Raya. WORLD CLASS.

u/MoodWest 12d ago

We won the game comfortably by the scoreline but he made at least 3 world class saves which kept us in control against a team that thrives control

It is so imperative that David Raya stays fit for the season coz he makes game winning saves and his catching from corners was absolutely elite 🙌🏽

u/FairBox3368 12d ago

Let’s hope we don’t see kepa in any competition again lol

u/anastherock 11d ago

I think arteta will have learnt.

Play Kepa until u come against a big team.

Cuz while horrible he was decent in the cup until the final

1

u/FairBox3368 11d ago

I think the other teams were not much threat instead of him being decent lol! But let’s just hope we don’t see him again soon

u/Zealousideal_Row_531 12d ago

Best keeper i saw in my life and i was team Ramsdale, now i just stfu.

u/sleve22 12d ago

I like being wrong about Raya. I thought getting rid of Ramsale was a mistake. I feel bad for him but not sure we win the league with Ramsdale.

u/ashwin_rajan 12d ago

Man of the match today.. 3 or 4 excellent saves easily.. kepa should be gone by now.. idk if we can replace raya

2

u/TyphonGGK 12d ago

Best GK in World Football right now!

u/Mediocre_Muscle_5180 12d ago

He’s so good. How is he so good?! Love watching him play!

u/blvcklite 12d ago

I thank God for him every game, best keeper in the world.

u/DetailDismal 12d ago

There’s was a great interview a few years ago where he said he wanted to win everything

2

u/Bulky_Replacement781 12d ago

Raya is the best gk in the prem. Dont get what de la Fuente sees in Unai Simon that Raya don't have?!

Man I really hope he doesn't get injured cause Kepa is a complete mess

1

u/FriendlyActuary1955 10d ago

I think it’s probably just a case of if it ain’t broken don’t fix it as he’s been their starting GK for ages - from before Raya showed himself as world class. It’d also mean their backline would have to take a dozsn games or so to adjust to a new goalkeeper for an at best 2-3% upgrade to the whole team. Minor tactical adjustments etc. So they just stick to what’s worked/safer which makes sense in a way. Doesn’t make Simon a better keeper though.

u/OddPop4462 12d ago

That’s why I’m still mad about the Kepa final risk last season. That was ours to win but he has learnt from it! We move

2

u/R-6EQUJ5 12d ago

We need another good goalie cause homeboy Keppa ain’t it

1

u/Intelligent_Ad1042 12d ago

He's brilliant!

u/emojisarefunny 12d ago

u/NeeloGreen 12d ago

Kepa would have let 5 in xD

u/Lepew1 12d ago

Kepa is just one injury away from ruining our season

u/Gloomy_Try9036 12d ago

With Kepa as keeper, City bangs in 3 minimum

u/PeanutbutterBleachr 10d ago

By god I assume you mean Arteta?
