Let’s also be honest he nearly fucked up that turn in the box almost got stuck under his foot

Let's also be honest, he didn't :)

Really do you play football ? Take a close look at it he only just managed to drag it back nearly slipped under his foot

When we signed Ortega on a free i hadn't heard of him and didn't know what to expect. He's had a few dodgy moments as all keepers have but the more he's played the more comfortable and reassuring he's looked. When i see his name on the team sheet it doesn't bother me because he's arguably as good a shot stopper as Ederson and his distribution isn't far off Ederson.

He came here as a number 2, he knew that we knew that and most of our second choice keepers in recent years have been decent. Ortega has proved himself to be more than decent though and is far too good to sit on our bench in all the big games. If he signs for another top club who promise him more game time then fair enough. But i think He needs to have a long hard think about it because he's getting more game time than he most probably expected, especially in big games and he's won 5 trophies in one season.

Arsenal and Liverpool have 2 top keepers, so have we, and it's up to Pep to be fair to Ortega and play him on Tuesday night.

David Raya top? Come on...

Think he needs to retain his place in the starting line up in my opinion. Far to good to be a second choice keeper

 

[RayCTID]

Ederson still gets the nod

And eddie is too good to be the back up

David Raya top? Come on...

He's been a big part in Arsenal conceding the fewest goals this season.

Come off it, it was a hospital pass which he showed confidence and composure in dealing with it.

Wouldn't bat an eyelid if he gets the nod. Cant say that about many number 2 goalies. Extremely confident in whichever of them starts.

Give him what he wants. He's making noises about staying. Don't mess it up like we did with Ilkay.
