Tifo Fixed the Super League – watch here: https://youtu.be/1ar96_rrw2Q
Aaron Ramsdale’s performance against Leicester City in October 2021 caught everyone by surprise (not least Tifo’s Seb and Alex).
Arsenal signed him having back-to-back relegations from the Premier League, yet this season his shot-stopping stats say he is one of the best goalkeepers in the league.
But as Alex Stewart explains, his distribution is a sight to behold too. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.

Ramsdale.
Tomiyasu.
2 biggest surprises that the Gooners have waited for years.
Artetas worst trait is that he's stubborn in the way he wants to play even when his first choice players are hurt. What you cannot take away from him is he has more than an idea of what he wants to do and it has merit. He's building HIS team from the back. Ramsdale is a sure keeper with reflexes, kick accuracy and a ton of balls. Having 3 CBs, one of whom can play RB, makes us way tougher in the air and physically. Then Tierney and Tavares are interchangeable as quick, ball carrying, athletic left backs. It's gonna be interesting to see what he does with the attack because it isn't put together in his idea yet.
I don’t think many Arsenal fans were mad about Ramsdale coming but more about his price tag. Arsenal aren’t known to be the biggest spenders so a lot of fans thought that Ben white + Ramsdale would take up all of the funds.
In other words you guys hadn't really done any scouting or research on him as I know several people (not football scouts) who said that Ramsdale was exactly what Arsenal needed. However, fair play on admitting you got this hopelessly wrong
To early to call. Time will tell
Tifo need to do a video on how they were wrong on Arsenal’s entire window because I’m pretty sure they panned the whole thing. Right now it looks like every transfer in was a success, and the big one out was a fleecing as well. Apologies owed to both Arteta and Edu!
Stats stats stats. We knew he would be good because we actually watched him play.
If anything as well, it's hard to really blame the Bournemouth and Sheffield United relegations on Ramsdale. I always thought he was an underrated keeper but had the bad luck of playing on relegated teams in back-to-back seasons. It's been nice to see him thrive.
Where's JJ's anti-Arsenal rant these days?
Stats dont always tell you the whole story
Loved him at Bournemouth and have championed him since and as an arsenal fan i felt it was a great signng off the bat
Actually the club was trying to get back Aaron RamsEY, but you know.. the agent got confused
What a player! 💪🏿
Man for the past two years I've often said Ramsdale had potential, but I got absolutely rinsed beyond belief for it in the comments of Sheffield United highlights last season when they went down. I'm very rarely right with football predictions but that may be the one I'm right with
The way how vocal he is in our team reminds me of the one Jens Lehmann.
We will see(darth Liverpool awaits) after the break.
This last segment promoting another video had me sold after 10 seconds. After that I was just waiting for a link to pop up
1 important thing you missed, Ramsdale is actual Arsenal fan and you can tell! He’s passionate and shows fight, theres a big difference when a player is actually playing for the badge and the fans, theyre more likely to play to their full potential which is what we’re seeing with this Beast!
Blades fans knew this already. And we know what Arsenal did with a South Yorkshire lad between the sticks last time.
What a player he turned out to be. So far, he's been worth every penny! Glad he proved all the doubters wrong!
we were ALL wrong.
inaki cana is a superb gk coach
Little evidence that he was that good? He was like Bardock on Planet Vegeta when he was at Sheffield United.
From all the issues Arsenal had I did not think that GK was one of them.
Liverpool was a real test for ramsdale poor lad
He needs to sign for a big club on the next transfer window
Deserves to be no 1 in English side
Guy won player of the season 3 years in a row with 3 different teams… safe to say we all got this one wrong, and he’s always been good
Arteta is a genius he just need right players
Ramsdale 's distribution and acrobatic skill is what caught Arteta's eye
forget stats, I watched ramsdale at Wimbledon when I worked behind the goal – he was excellent then. saw him at Sheffield (on tv) and was excellent. Pundits think they know everything, they don't
From laughing stock in the transfer market to competing for England's no. 1 spot
What a rise
Ramsdale would be the number one goalie in the premier league if not for De Gea who has to perform heroics day jn day out because of Harry Maguire 😂
