FULL REACTION: Arsenal vs. Tottenham 🗣️ Arsenal are COPING WITH ADVERSITY! - Craig Burley | ESPN FC

[@Photosoflife]

Shaka is the goalkeeper "specialist" and constantly fails to do basic due diligence. He claims in this segment that Raya isn’t good in the air. Meanwhile, Raya is literally leading the league in crosses claimed and was nearly the leader last season in crosses claimed. It’s one of the primary reasons Raya was preferred over Ramsdale. Because in addition to be better with his feet he’s also much better at claiming crosses than Ramsdale. It’s clear that Shaka is "going with his gut" and not doing proper analysis as a pundit.

[@ayorindefolorunso8923]

Exactly, when the guy was bought for that same reason

[@MRBp2024]

Raya is 6ft 0, but a proactive GK, who commands his box, claims everything, pushes opposition out of his way, attacks the ball. Vicario is 6ft 4, much taller but a reactive GK, waits on his line, allows himself to get bullied, 0 presence in his box, waits to make a save rather then attack the ball & is very weak on set piece. Shaka just waffled about Raya. Raya bails out his defense by attacking the ball, catching crosses, relieving pressure off his defense, off his line to sweep. Vicario just waits, stays on his line, waits to make a reflex save, very weak and allows his defense to be under siege by not claiming crosses. Vicario waits for the ball to drop.

[@omobolamajek5183]

Shaka analysis is always flawed! Timber's challenge is never a yellow card, not to even talk about a red card. Timber went for the ball clearly by placing his foot on the ball. Yes, part of his soccer boot touched Pedro Parro, who made a scene of the incident because he wanted Timber to be sent off. It's a shame that some of these incompetent pundits that played the game are making something out of nothing.

We are not going to dominate City at a place they haven't lost for 2years and with Rodri back too and with less rest over an 8-day and 4-day periods and with City been home for 4 consecutive games and Arsenal away for 3 games.
