    Questionable for the first Spurs goal. Directly at fault for the goal against Lens. Chaotic against City and inches away from conceding from our possession. Chipped on his line and surrendered possession in his own box at Chelsea.

    'Hasn't been great' is a dramatic understatement.
    Played clean through

    He was about 20 yds outside the box and there was a defender goal side when he hit it. All Ramsdale had to do was move straight back about 4-5 yards and the ball would have floated into his hands. Instead he twisted himself into a knot and fell over while the ball bounced into the goal

    You need to watch it again. He has every reason to panic. Bloke could have chipped him comfortably and he would have been out of the game. The defender is nowhere near getting to him, nor even trying. He doesn't have his bearings because he is miles from goal and the situation has come completely out of the blue. Falling over wasn't the best idea but I can't buy that as a huge error.

    You are also completely ignoring the fact that the problem was not even close to being of Ramsdale's making. His position is fine given where we had the ball and even if he fears we could lose it he can have no expectation that it would happen so cleanly and so quickly.

    All of Raya's errors were totally down to him and were easily avoidable.
