“He can sit there and smile all he wants, but inside, they’ve got it all badly wrong. Ramsdale should be starting and Raya shouldn’t be in the team, because he’s having a nightmare at the moment.”
Ramsdale has been linked with a January exit in order to find regular football and push his case for Euro 2024 selection. O’Hara says Ramsdale should look to leave if he cannot win his spot back in the next few weeks.
He added: “If I were Ramsdale I’d have a knock on the manager’s door and say, ‘You’ve brought in another goalkeeper who’s not better than me, and you’re continuing to play him after he keeps making mistakes, whereas I made a few mistakes and I’m out of the team?’. Arteta’s got it completely wrong.
“If you have two good goalkeepers, then you have to play both of them and give them equal time. If one keeps making mistakes and continues to play and I’m the other goalkeeper, I’d be knocking on the manager’s door saying, ‘I don’t care, I’m off’, particularly with the Euros just around the corner.”
