Arsenal icon David Seaman has called out Mikel Arteta for his \u2018unconvincing\u2019 plan to rotate goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya. Arteta insisted that both shot-stoppers would play frequently this season and even hinted at the possibility of in-game rotation.<\/p>\n

However, it now seems that Raya is Arteta\u2019s first-choice goalkeeper, starting every Premier League and Champions League fixture since September 17. Ramsdale, who has shone for Arsenal over the last two seasons, began the first three top-flight games before being dropped.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Ramsdale\u2019s father Nick criticised Arteta for his handling of the situation. Former Arsenal shot-stopper Seaman agrees, saying Arteta\u2019s plan is \u2018unconvincing\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid Raya has come in on loan and now those two are competing. Is it good for Arsenal? I would say, yeah, because we’ve got two really good goalkeepers, but you’ve got to keep them both happy,\u201d Seaman told Lucky Block.<\/p>\n

\u201cArteta has spoken about this rotation system that he’s going to do, even rotating in games, which I’m nowhere near convinced with yet. But we’ve got to wait and see how it pans out.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’re always going to have uncertainty when you’ve got two good goalkeepers like that. Aaron comes off the back of last season being voted the best goalkeeper by all the players in the Premier League and then he\u2019s benched after five games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’ll be hard to take. It’s going to make them both better goalkeepers, but it also puts a lot of uncertainty in other people’s minds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick Ramsdale claimed this week that his son had not been spoken to by Arteta about his demotion. The England goalkeeper was left in the dark despite never appearing to make any serious errors that might have led to him being replaced by Raya.<\/p>\n
