Mikel Arteta has told Aaron Ramsdale he expects a positive reaction from the axed Arsenal goalkeeper who was forced to watch his side\u2019s win over Everton from the substitutes\u2019 bench. <\/p>\n
Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The England international has been Arteta\u2019s undisputed No.1 ever since he dislodged Bernd Leno just four games into the 2021\/22 season. <\/p>\n
In truth, Ramsdale had done little wrong at the start of the current campaign to merit losing his place, but the summer arrival of David Raya always suggested a changing of the guard was inevitable at some point. <\/p>\n
Whether Ramsdale returns for Arsenal\u2019s first Champions League game in six years remains to be seen, but Arteta hopes the 25-year-old responds in a similar fashion to the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz who were also among the replacements against Everton.<\/p>\n
\u2018The same as Gabriel Jesus, the same as Kai Havertz, the same as Tomiyasu,\u2019 said Arteta when asked how he hope Ramsdale would react to losing his place. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Exactly the same. We play with 11 players. We don\u2019t play with 10 plus one, or sometimes nine. We play with 11 players. Exactly the same.\u2019<\/p>\n
Raya enjoyed a serene first game between the posts for his new club with Everton hardly registering a threat but Arteta declared himself happy with the Spaniard\u2019s performance, along with that of Fabio Vieira who earned his first start of the season. <\/p>\n
\u2018What I want is that the players that desreve to play that they play.You know when Fabio deserves to play he\u2019s been knocking on the door for a few weeks now and you can tell that he was ready and he contributed,\u2019 he told Sky Sports. <\/p>\n
\u2018He had some great actions that could\u2019ve ended in goals and that\u2019s what they need. <\/p>\n
\u2018When they are ready they play and they play well and I think they [Vieira and Raya] both did that today.\u2019<\/p>\n
