I’d like him to cut his losses before Ramsdale’s dissolution becomes irreversible.
I never thought I’d say this but we’re also really missing Xhaka.
Xhaka leaving was a surprise but the problem is how bad his replacement is. Havertz has been awful so far and it leaves the outstanding Declan Rice trying to do two jobs at once. I suspect there might need to be more investment in the midfield next summer.

We are stuck with Raya, I'm afraid. He will slowly improve as, despite all evidence so far, he is actually a good keeper.
