Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger disagrees with manager Mikel Arteta's suggestion of rotating goalkeepers, stating that he regrets not making goalkeeper substitutions in the past.
Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger doesn’t agree with rotating goalkeepers as Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has suggested he might do this season.
“It’s the same rationale as to why Fabio and Gabby played – I haven’t had a single question about why Gabriel hasn’t been starting. He has won more trophies than anybody else in that dressing room, including me,” Arteta said in a press conference. “Someone is going to do it, and maybe that’s strange. But why not? Tell me why not. You have all the qualities in another goalkeeper to do something, you want to change the momentum, do it.
When asked if he thinks Ramsdale is better than Raya, Wenger replied: Better… better… I don’t know if he’s better. “You know, on the other hand, when you’re in this position, you always – it happened to me as well many times – you have a good team but you want to improve the team. On whether it is better to have a designated number one goalkeeper, Wenger continued: “Always. That’s my belief, I don’t believe in rotation with goalkeepers, I don’t believe in a lack of clarity of the hierarchy with goalkeepers. That doesn’t work.”
