1) Aaron Ramsdale’s place could come under threat sooner than expected

The 25-year-old didn’t really make a good case for himself keeping the no.1 jersey versus Fulham.


Bukayo Saka was at fault for his poor pass in the build-up to the opening goal, but Ramsdale’s hesitation in coming out proved fatal.

The keeper realised too late he couldn’t intercept the ball and he was left in no man’s land when retreating back onto his line, allowing Andreas Pereira to put the ball past him.

Ramsdale has given Arteta an excuse to drop him and put new signing David Raya into the team.
