Mikel Arteta revealed his mid-game goalkeeper rotation plan as he defended the decision to start David Raya over Aaron Ramsdale against Everton.Could change keeper mid-game in futurecourtesy of a second-half strike from Leandro Trossard. The England keeper had kept just one clean sheet in the previous four
Premier League matches this season and it was speculated before the game that he might drop down the pecking order. Indeed,which further fuelled speculations that the Spaniard is the preferred keeper from now on. However, Arteta dismissed suggestions that Raya is the new No. 1 choice and pointed out that he had picked Fabio Vieira over Kai Havertz and even chose to continue with Eddie Nketiah in attack leaving Gabriel Jesus on the bench.“The same rationale about why Fabio played here or Eddie or Gabriel Jesus," Arteta told the reporters."I haven’t had a single question on why Gabriel Jesus didn’t start. He has won more trophies than anybody else, including me, in that dressing room.
“I am a really young manager and I have only been in the job for three and a half years and I have few regrets about what we have done. One of them is that on two occasions I felt after 60 minutes and 85 minutes in two games in this period, to change the keeper in that moment and I didn’t do it," he stated.
