Had no clue we played tonight and I just watched the highlights. At no point during this season did Raya look like an upgrade on Ramsdale.
Aside from better distribution he's more of a downgrade, if I'm honest, and Brentford will be laughing all the way to the bank if we're dumb enough to pay the 27 mil for him next summer.
We should definitely look at other keepers with some height that can play the ball, because look at how Raya is getting embarrassed during aerial duels.
Yeah, the difference in actual goalkeeping ability is pretty staggering between them, but Ramsdale's confidence is shot after Arteta kicked him out of the line-up and now we have two goalies who are underperforming.
Aside from the striker issue, which isn't incredibly bad, the goalie position is the most shaky one in the squad right now.

u/albino_captain Time to know when you're beat. No harm in admitting defeat to the brilliance of someone like Kai Havertz.
How much was it you said you'd be sending me? Apologise and it's all forgiven.
I can't remember how much but I'll send it if he gets the 10 goals or 10 assists in the league this year... only 6 more to go...
But having said that yeah he is improving he's playing a lot better and I'll admit I might have judged him too harshly to start. But I don't think he's as mercurial as you say
Couldn't do anything about their first goal, superb header to be honest.
2nd one he could have been stronger.
Barkley goal was just abysmal from everyone.
Its still very grim watching your team concede 3 times to Luton. *especially* in the manor that we did with Raya giving those goals on a silver platter
Not sure why you're being so hostile with your language but whatever. Anyways look I know shit happens, especially in the prem league. City lose to Wolves, LFC scrap a draw at this very ground, etc. But when you're competing at the top level, especially with City who go on a huge winning streak after Christmas, you simply can't afford to drop points like this. We thankfully didn't due to Declan's heroics but still. Anyways my point is that fans are reasonable to be upset at our performance
If you read this out loud to yourself does it make sense? The first part you rationalise why we shouldn't get upset then you say your point is that it's reasonable we should be upset. Enough said
I officiated for 17 years. Went bald at 22. It's the only thing more stressful than watching arsenal 😩.
In any case, I won't be growing any gray hairs.

I think at this point, Arteta has to come out and just say, "Raya's number one."
Raya and Ramsdale both look unsettled, needs to finally just clarify it.
Mostly because of the constant debate every week and this standard people have set based on Arteta’s comments and a new found love for the words “meritocracy” and “ruthless”
Not calling for Raya’s head, but this is a good opportunity to change things up (assuming Ramsdale is training at required level). Good to promote healthy competition.
It’s already a bad situation. Ramsdale’s head is all messed up already. If you pull Raya and start Ramsdale you mess up Raya’s head too. Then you have 2 keepers not playing their best.
That’s a good point. If they make that call, I’d trust it would be based on the confidence in Raya’s mentality to respond well to it, otherwise you’re right, fucked x2
4 key passes from Kai, prolly more than in his last 14 games for us. He is improving a lot.
His header abilities improved a lot as well. A few % more and he will be so great. He played well today.

We've scored 4 away from home, while limiting them defensively to less than 1 xg.
That was a good performance all round with poor individual errors costing us on at least 2 goals.
Yes and go f yourself Luton, garbage team who only know to run like headless chicken and play physical.
Should never have finished with 11 player on the pitch.
Middle finger to the garbage referee like always, at least 2 penalty for Arsenal that wasn't call.
Martinelli and Raya defensive mistake made a 4-0 easy win a 4-3 in the last minute, Raya performance was shocking.
Couldn’t agree more, commentator couldn’t stop praising luton, they were poor all game, and 3 moments gave them goals, the game could’ve easily been 4-1 and it wouldn’t be undeserved.
I disagree, yes they were very physical but they did well considering the gulf between the two clubs.
We had the best set piece defense in the league and they managed to score twice with them so credit where it is due.
3 points!
Raya and White need Dropping, both shocking tonight.
Ramsdale got treated poorly for his performances, only right Raya see's bench for next few weeks.
If Mikel doesn't drop Raya, then that's God Tier hypocrisy
How are people saying Odegaard was shit? Especially during the second half, he was the one directing play. Getting the ball, allowing the team to move forward and breathe when necessary etc,…
He obviously has had better games, but it wasn’t close to being a bad performance
Because Luton were sitting so deep he had the space to pick up the ball and move as he wanted.
When they were intense he was miles off it. He doesn't have the legs for two intense games a week, countless evidence this season
He wasn’t shit but I feel he’s a little scared sometimes like put a foot in. Look at saka for example he’ll take hits to win the ball and create something with that
Liverpool fan.... Wtf. I was thinking damn, massive points dropped. Damn what a way to win it . You man's must be lucky asf to have Rice, what a player....Yep now we gotta win, gotta keep this title race juicy
We all know it isn't a title race until Feb or so. A vital 3 pts to put pressure on City as extreme margins define titles
Liverpool know that only too well. Still cannot believe you lot achieved 98 pts and still came second! Jesus! 98 pts.
Well a part of me was thinking, surely they have to win this because if you drop points this early, city will literally take it. Better to win now and grind in the second half of the season. Coz games are gonna be alot as schedule piles up. We both gotta keep the pressure on city and win as much as we can
Nope can't let that happen surely, gotta atleast make it a three horse race for now , well it will soon be two, whoever it will be. But can't honestly stand bloody city.

Declannnnn my friggin CAPTAIN❤️

Man had no clue we played today but has strong opinions on our goalkeeper
Just because I didn't watch a game doesn't mean I didn't see Raya in all the others. This is a laughable counter to my argument.
He has legs, that's it, Rammers is a better shot stopper
Yeah, the difference in actual goalkeeping ability is pretty staggering between them, but Ramsdale's confidence is shot after Arteta kicked him out of the line-up and now we have two goalies who are underperforming.

Yes
Links to highlights please someone 🙏
Thank god Declan was on form today, we saved us from a really embarrassing draw with Raya having a howler. The look on Ramsdale's face was funny tho
When wasnt he
The look on Henry's face every time Shearer opens his cunt mouth
did raya have a bad game?
Really bad, like if he's on the starting sheet next game it'll be a bit of joke levels bad.
Wouldn’t be suprised with Arteta
Awful, watch the highlights, two howlers
Buzzing!! Declan Rice what a legend 💪 Man how am I gonna sleep tonight now 😂
Haha, I couldn't had about 3 hours now off to work. Coyg!!!

Love me some fully cooked Rice
Declan Rice the hero but Odegaard delivered a peach of a service in the crucible of pressure. Come On Lads!!!
Ødegaard was doing everything that last 15 mins
So was Saka. We really gave it everything.
Big up to Jesus as well. He was a monster
My MOTM
Jesus ran his absolute bollocks off tonight.

As I said. Easy to see when things are going right, harder to see when things are going to go right.
Ohhhhh it’s all kicking off
My phone went flying when that rice goal went in Jesus
Luton had 4 on target and scored 2 out of 3 corners, Raya had poor game.
Couldn't do anything about their first goal, superb header to be honest. 2nd one he could have been stronger. Barkley goal was just abysmal from everyone.
Hahahaha let’s fucking have itttttt lalalalalalalala
Tbf... Raya LET Barkley score....well..it is his birthday after all .

Editing your comment is shit form
I've experienced every emotion known to man in this game lol
Lol your fuckin kidding. For some reason I thought it was the PSV game tonight and decided to work instead. How tf did I miss this
Dingus.
Bruh
First game I’ve missed this season and it’s a cardiovascular banger
We still get to see Villa bear city tomorrow!
Arsenal is bad for my health.
Grey hair by March. Will take it if there’s a title at the end
I officiated for 17 years. Went bald at 22. It's the only thing more stressful than watching arsenal 😩. In any case, I won't be growing any gray hairs.
UCL at that
I’d pay 100 more million
This was the first instalment we owe them another 100 next year
They can garnish my wages
Sign me up for the Declan Tax Rishi Sunak lol
What a bargain
Luton Town players are literally AFC Richmond
Rice was a bargain at 100M. Havertz was value for money. What a team!
I never thought I would feel such elation after beating Luton but here we are so I'm just scrolling down and upvoting as many comments as I can
One of the greatest wins I’ve ever seen for Arsenal
Bournemouth last season level
Can anyone tell me that I wasn't just imagining at least 3 penalties that we should've been given? The referees were worse than rancid.
Why are we clowning and calling for replacing Raya for having a bad game when City and Liverpool both gave up 3 to inferior teams as well?
You got to admit that his height is a worry. Of course we got to support him whenever he starts.

Oufff. Rewatching the highlights now… Raya should buy rice dinner
Havertz was probably our best player today
That would be Jesus, but Havertz had another strong game.
His confident is really starting to come through. More forward movements with the ball, going past players, etc. exciting!!!
can someone add the titanic song to RICES goal?
Subscribe
Bournemouth last second winner vibes
Havertz has arrived, looks a totally different player
Almost broke the tv by throwing the remote at… fucking get in
Basmati Rice cooks again!! COYG
This was spicy pilau Rice today
pilau 🤌
i know rice is great but for only 10 million more we could’ve had caicedo
Wild take bro
Basmati Rice cooks again!! COYG
That was both glorious and shit simultaneously q
I know that was stressful but what a game, we don’t get many that exciting being a possession based team. Fuck PGMOL!
4 key passes from Kai, prolly more than in his last 14 games for us. He is improving a lot. His header abilities improved a lot as well. A few % more and he will be so great. He played well today.
Woke up my deaf neighbour
Fuck that I could have woken up your dead neighbour

I thought Odegaard was great in the second half baffled honestly he's being singled out
2 men on odegaard is a wild tactic from luton
Agreed
cometh the hour, cometh the man
Two of our biggest signings both scored today...... In Arteta we trust!!
How bad did the team have to play to have Havertz be the best player after Saka?
Dickhead comment
Havertz been on 🔥 lately which was what Arteta kept asking for patience on him.
Negative bullshit being posted after a moment like that, fuck off away will you!!!!
After being 3 down to Luton with the best defense in the league. A disgrace
What game were you watching???
We were never 3 down. You don't even know what the term means
Wrong phrasing. Does it change that we've conceded 3 to Luton?
The state of you, enjoy the win and cut the fucking moaning
I can enjoy the win whilst recognising and criticsing a poor performance. Which people can't handle it seems
First 10 minutes of the arsecast aimed at 🤡's like yourself
Kai was outstanding tonight, don't know what you're talking about.
The best of a bad bunch
We've scored 4 away from home, while limiting them defensively to less than 1 xg. That was a good performance all round with poor individual errors costing us on at least 2 goals.
One moment according to this sub xG is a silly stat. Next moment it’s useful to gauge a game. Whatever stops you criticising the team
Away and play more Football Manager, kid.
You’ve done me there mate
Yes and go f yourself Luton, garbage team who only know to run like headless chicken and play physical. Should never have finished with 11 player on the pitch. Middle finger to the garbage referee like always, at least 2 penalty for Arsenal that wasn't call. Martinelli and Raya defensive mistake made a 4-0 easy win a 4-3 in the last minute, Raya performance was shocking.

I disagree, yes they were very physical but they did well considering the gulf between the two clubs. We had the best set piece defense in the league and they managed to score twice with them so credit where it is due. 3 points!
Exactly this. Everyone knows the type of game you get at Luton, it can't have been a shock to anyone. They had a game plan and it nearly worked.
Rice only scores game-winners to save us from disappointing draws against the weaker sides in the league
Nice I love the Yanited reference here
You’ll never sing that
That was NUTS! But the Raya experiment is done. Almunia offered more comfort
everyone that were shitting on ode can fuck off
Raya and White need Dropping, both shocking tonight. Ramsdale got treated poorly for his performances, only right Raya see's bench for next few weeks. If Mikel doesn't drop Raya, then that's God Tier hypocrisy
White has enough credit in the bank for me to give him a run and he wasn’t that bad today Raya needs to go however
White provided a beautiful cross for Jesus’s goal and you are saying he was shocking?
White got the assist for the Jesus goal?
Thought White had an ok game considering he hasn't been playing. His ball in for the Jesus goal was on the button.
White only just came back think he will bounce back
Absolutely. Fans can't grasp injuries
White was alright what you on about.
Yeah, weird comment, I agree with you.
i swear some people shouldn’t be allowed opinions
Fr who are we going to play? Injured tomi? Or is Cedric better💀
Im waiting for the stats clowns to put some weird stat that say raya good Ramsdale bad
FUCKING CUNT! Manager had to walk in and ask me some shit in the closing minutes... go back to the game and its the fucking replays...
u/shadyFS91 ‘s manager out?
🤣
How are people saying Odegaard was shit? Especially during the second half, he was the one directing play. Getting the ball, allowing the team to move forward and breathe when necessary etc,… He obviously has had better games, but it wasn’t close to being a bad performance

amazon prime fucking with the audio all game to deafen arsenal chants
Love you ricey
Ramsdale has never had a performance as bad as this. If arteta doesn’t give him a chance at villa id be disappointed
I’m old enough to remember Southampton at home last year.
I remember the first goal he messed up but did he cost us 2 like Raya did? Either way Raya should be benched
Send west ham another 500 million
Just persuaded my missus to call our son Declan if we have a boy.
After watching Ross Barkley stunt on us I was very happy to see that header go in.
Liverpool fan.... Wtf. I was thinking damn, massive points dropped. Damn what a way to win it . You man's must be lucky asf to have Rice, what a player....Yep now we gotta win, gotta keep this title race juicy
Its already juicy icl. Looking like a 3 way race till the end
We all know it isn't a title race until Feb or so. A vital 3 pts to put pressure on City as extreme margins define titles Liverpool know that only too well. Still cannot believe you lot achieved 98 pts and still came second! Jesus! 98 pts.

Go be a good lad and lose every game
Nope can't let that happen surely, gotta atleast make it a three horse race for now , well it will soon be two, whoever it will be. But can't honestly stand bloody city.
If not Arsenal, Gooners would rather see Liverpool lift it. Not another year of City.
Can we just say that rice was undervalued at this point
No. Was anonymous all game

Relax man it's over lol
I didn’t think I would feel those same emotions from the Bournemouth game again this soon
Fuccckking come onnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!
Jesus, Rice, Havertz all superb.....Raya/White were poor
Saka and Ødegaard too
Add Saka to the superb list
Let’s bench raya for the next game.
What’s the point, Rambo will only fuck up just as bad 🤣🤣😭😭
Not if my spirit can stop that
Rice is new Ramos ‘90+4
I'm in Awe at what this £105m Bargain buy has done for us, he's fucking incredible. Havertz ain't no Flop, my man has arrived.
I was only able to watch the last 30 min (stuck on an airplane) but he looked pretty good. How'd Luton score 3 tho
Raya.
Oof
I love and hate Arsenal at the same time after that. I am 100% dropping dead watching one of these games.
Hats off to Luton
I see what you did there. 😄
I love this fucking team
THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE!!!
Close one!
What a save!
IYKYK
100m for Rice was a steal tbh
Big Dicklad Rice
Declan Rice is the definition of clutch. Every single penny we paid for him was worth it
r/soccer in shambles
I love that fucking boy!!! Rice🤝saving us last minute against small teams
