‘Nervous wreck’: Neville blasts Raya after Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Man City

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has labeled Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya a “nervous wreck,” citing moments of uncertainty and errors in his play.

Raya, who has displaced Aaron Ramsdale since arriving on loan from Brentford in the summer, faced scrutiny for his performances, especially after a mistake that led to Lens’ equalizer in Arsenal’s recent Champions League loss.

Neville weighed in on the discussion, pointing out Raya’s shaky moments during the Manchester City game. He remarked on Sky Sports, “I can spot a keeper a mile off that’s a nervous wreck, and there’s one right in front of you.”

He specifically referred to a clearance by Raya that deflected off Alvarez, highlighting a lack of sharpness and confidence in the goalkeeper’s play. Neville expressed concern about Raya’s ongoing struggles and emphasized the potential consequences for Arsenal if these issues persist.
