This is what I've been saying for the past like, 3 weeks :p Ramsdale has a higher ceiling on current performance, even though he has a lower floor. I'd rather Ramsdale. Especially since Raya hasn't been great.
For me it's personality, there's a reason we got so many points from losing positions last year (some might also say there's a reason why we were behind in the first place). Raya is better at plucking the ball out of the air on crosses, but I just don't see any other benefit to him under the eye test.
Raya has now made two mistakes in back to back games that have contributed to a goal being conceded. I would like Ramsdale to start against City, doubt it will happen, though.
I think Ramsdale is better at making saves as well when they matter. I can see how Raya's better on the ball, but the bottom line is we need to not concede if we want to win.
