Raya is know for his ability on cutting out crosses but perhaps all along he has been pinching too much on his starting position in order to do that - Mudryk's mis-hit cross did not go right in the top corner but Raya was nowhere near it...
I am wondering if other teams will look for that in the future and if Raya has to reposition himself more conservatively then his ability to cut out crosses may be severely diminished.

Raya's positioning...

Raya has been pretty awful all round. Even his "strengths" have been exposed as weaknesses.
Ramsdale was a massive boost to the team, and despite his errors he never was as bad as Raya has been.
Send Raya back to Brentford and reinstate Ramsdale.

Hope we didn't guarantee them an end-of-loan purchase in writing.

Royal is a short keeper and it shows.

Mudryk goal was just one of those. IMO Raya was doing the right thing as you'd expect the ball to go somewhere around the edge of the 6 yard box. It was definitely a cross. Just a freak goal.

Always remember Raya costing Brentford promotion the other year. As said, I just don't see what he gives us over Ramsdale.

Ramsdale's personality is a genuine attribute imo. Something we don't really get from our other players.

With you 100% on that. Ramsdale needs to be reprieved now, before discontent settles in and he leaves, because once he goes we will be left with no option other than Raya, and he is clearly the weaker keeper.
