I mean, it\u2019s close. We are talking about two fantastic goalkeepers,\u201d Friedel told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think when you look at the stats \u2013 and they are non-subjective stats so it\u2019s not just about who we like better \u2013 the biggest difference is David Raya\u2019s shot prevention value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s remarkable how quick his feet are when he\u2019s coming out for crosses or sweeping up. That really separated him from Aaron Ramsdale and with the way Arsenal play that might be the tipping point of why they prefer Raya.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the stats back Arsenal\u2019s faith in Raya and that is fine, but Ramsdale is too good to be sitting on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe should be playing somewhere and I\u2019m sure he will be able to find a place to go.
