Gary Neville believes David Raya is starting to feel the pressure as Arsenal's goalkeeper after an error-strewn performance in the Gunners' 2-2 draw with Chelsea, while Jamie Redknapp says Mikel Arteta has «complicated a situation he didn't need to» by bringing in Raya to compete with Aaron Ramsdale.
Arsenal had looked on course for their first defeat of the season when Raya was caught out by Mykhailo Mudryk's mishit cross at the start of the second half. The former Brentford goalkeeper also looked under pressure with the ball at his feet, just as he did in the first half against Manchester City before the international break.
Speaking on commentary during the game at Stamford Bridge, Neville said Raya looked like a goalkeeper who needed «help» and argued having both Raya and Ramsdale in the Arsenal squad competing for the No 1 shirt couldn't work.

«It's the toughest position to play and certainly when you're at one of the biggest clubs in the league, you're under the most amount of scrutiny — particularly if you're a goalkeeper.
