The goalkeeper is a shell of his former self and may need a loan move to stake a claim for England<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was given a rare start on Saturday\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>He was fortunate not to be punished for a couple of errors at Brentford<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>IAN LADYMAN: It&#8217;s nonsense to care where Chris Kavanagh was born \u2013 IAKO\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At full time, Mikel Arteta made a beeline for his match-winner Kai Havertz.<\/p>\n<p>Havertz\u2019s troubles fitting into this Arsenal side have been well documented. He deserved the manager\u2019s acclaim after his last-gasp header won a match that seemed destined for a draw.<\/p>\n<p>Yet what was happening at the opposite end of the pitch was far more telling. The team, without Arteta, had made their way to Aaron Ramsdale, each player enveloping him in a warm embrace. He just about managed a smile upon completing a clean sheet after a couple of first-half errors that had gone unpunished.<\/p>\n<p>It may be too early to say but the goalkeeper\u2019s introverted demeanour with his team-mates, his pensive look to the crowd, had the feeling of a farewell.<\/p>\n<p>Is this the last time we see the 25-year-old in an Arsenal shirt? A January loan move is a possibility for a man desperate to make an impression on Gareth Southgate ahead of England\u2019s Euro 2024 campaign. If it is his final match, what a sorry, sad ending. It did not have to be this way. It all goes back to the Gunners\u2019 1-0 win at Everton on September 17 \u2014 David Raya\u2019s first league start for the club in goal.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, Arteta claimed his keepers were interchangeable but, after Raya kept his place despite questionable displays against Manchester City and Newcastle, it is clear that talk was hogwash. Raya is his No 1 and Arteta has created a scenario which added heaps of pressure on to Ramsdale on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/21\/78257149-12790681-image-a-31_1701033864263.jpg\" height=\"415\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was given a rare start in the Premier League at Brentford<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/21\/78256781-12790681-image-m-30_1701033107280.jpg\" height=\"328\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/25\/18\/78230653-12790681-image-a-48_1700936811860.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>David Raya was ineligible for the game as he is on loan at the Emirates from rivals Brentford<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Raya, on loan from Brentford, was ineligible to face his parent club, so in came Ramsdale for his first league start since September 3.<\/p>\n<p>After 50 seconds, a rendition of \u2018You\u2019re just a s*** David Raya\u2019 had begun from the home crowd, and in the first half, Ramsdale produced his worst display in recent memory. He gave the ball away to Yoane Wissa in the box after 13 minutes, from which Bryan Mbeumo failed to convert, then accidentally threw the ball directly into the turf when trying to launch it upfield.<\/p>\n<p>It felt like watching a kid being picked on by a group of school bullies, which the teacher had somehow facilitated.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford\u2019s forwards pressed Ramsdale at every opportunity. His demotion has wrung the confidence out of a player who was shortlisted in September for the Yashin Trophy \u2014 the award for the world\u2019s best keeper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/21\/78256749-12790681-image-m-29_1701033093193.jpg\" height=\"254\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>You can sense Arteta is aware of the conundrum he has created. Post-game, he ducked questions involving the word \u2018Ramsdale\u2019 like a prime Muhammad Ali. Take a query on how Ramsdale had struggled in the first half but grew in the second. He replied: \u2018I\u2019m so happy with the team, the way the team performed with the clean sheet. We move on. So happy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Not particularly convincing. Maybe comments made by Ramsdale\u2019s father Nick, in which he criticised the manager\u2019s handling of his son, have irked Arteta.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are top of the Premier League again. You could say: does it matter that the second-choice keeper is so short of confidence?<\/p>\n<p>Well, if it weren\u2019t for Declan Rice\u2019s thigh denying Mbeumo on the goal-line in a sequence started by Ramsdale\u2019s panic in the box, they would not have won here.<\/p>\n<p>Arteta earlier this month warned the player not to rush a decision on his future. But would he stop Ramsdale from leaving on loan so he can stake a claim for England?<\/p>\n<p>That would be harsh on a player who once was the man \u2014 and is now a shell of his former self.<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS<\/h3>\n<p><span>BRENTFORD (3-5-2):<\/span>\u00a0Flekken 6; Ajer 6, Pinnock 6.5, Mee 6.5; Ghoddos 6 (Zanka 90min), Onyeka 6 (Lewis-Potter 90), Norgaard 6, Yarmolyuk 6 (Baptiste 72, 6), Janelt 6; Mbeumo 6, Wissa 6.5 (Maupay 72, 6).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Booked<\/span>: Ajer.
