Martin Keown criticises Aaron Ramsdale following Arsenal’s start against Fulham

Martin Keown took a swipe at Aaron Ramsdale after Arsenal had a terrible start against Fulham in their London derby on Saturday.

The Gunners wanted to continue their perfect start to the season, but they had a really bad beginning when Bukayo Saka made a mistake and gave Andreas Pereira a chance to shoot from far away.

The ex-Manchester United player surprised Ramsdale by scoring a goal when he was not prepared, and the ball went into the goal past the goalkeeper who was trying to scramble back to his position.

This is not the first time that Arsenal’s No. 1 goalkeeper has made a mistake in their game against Sporting Lisbon. Pedro Goncalves from Sporting Lisbon took advantage of Ramsdale’s position in last year’s Europa League match.

After another bad start in a home game at the Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta’s team received criticism from Keown. Keown mentioned that this was a common problem last season when Arsenal didn’t make the most out of their chances to win the title.

David Raya, who recently joined Arsenal from Brentford, is eager to play his first match for the team.

Ramsdale is too far away from the goal, he does this frequently and I don’t know why, and Pereira shoots at the side of the goal that is closest to him.

Ramsdale is now under more pressure because Arteta approved the signing of David Raya, a former Brentford player who joined the team on a loan for a year.

Arteta said it was necessary to sign Raya, but Gary Neville is worried that having two goalkeepers of similar skill could be a problem for Arsenal this season.

“I believe you should have a definite first choice and then a definite second choice, that’s what I think,” he said to Sky Sports.

I have had different situations at Manchester United. Sometimes we have a clear best goalkeeper and a second best. Other times, we have two goalkeepers who are pretty equal in skill.

The issue is that when a goalkeeper makes a mistake, as they often do, people start wondering if another goalkeeper will be chosen for the next game.
