 Who should be Arsenal's number one, David Raya or Aaron Ramsdale? Share your thoughts in the comments below 'One of them is that on two occasions I felt after 60 minutes and 85 minutes in two games in this period to change the keeper in that moment and I didn't do it. I didn't have the courage to do it. And we drew those games and I was so unhappy and someone is going to do it (soon) and maybe it [the reaction] will be, 'oh! That is strange. Why?' 'Why not?

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta sprung a surprise ahead of the Gunners’ victory over Everton at Goodison Park and suggested David Raya’s performance could lead him to make a radical decision
Mikel Arteta offered a bizarre defence of his selection policy, after dropping his number one keeper Aaron Ramsdale at Everton.
His replacement, summer loan signing David Raya, had only one save to make as Arsenal dominated at Goodison Park, and won through a fine finish from substitute Leandro Trossard. But afterwards, the Gunners boss insisted there was no controversy in dropping England keeper Ramsdale, and even suggested he could soon be substituting his keepers DURING matches.
Asked why he chose to make the change in goal, he said: “The same rationale about why Fabio Vieira played here, or Eddie Nketiah or Gabriel Jesus. I haven’t had a single question on why Gabriel Jesus didn’t start.
“He has won more trophies than anybody else, including me, in that dressing room. I cannot have two players in each position and not play them. David has tremendous qualities, like Aaron has, and we have to use them.”
