Raya has been responsible for several key mistakes since taking over as Arsenal’s No. 1 goalkeeper this season, and his performance against Newcastle was no exception.
Carragher expressed his concerns, saying, “Let’s not get bogged down in all the VAR stuff because this is a serious problem now for Mikel Arteta. Raya is at fault again.”
He continued, “Again, he’s made the same mistake like the one he made a few weeks ago in another big game against Chelsea. Then, he got away with it, but he hasn’t tonight.”

Carragher analyzed Raya’s positioning and decision-making, noting, “If you look at where the goalkeeper is initially, look at his positioning – he is outside his near post, which is fine. He is telling his players to get out, and now he just keeps edging and edging forwards.”
He emphasized, “And when the ball is played in, he is further out off his line than he needs to be, and it is a recurring theme with this goalkeeper.”
Raya joined Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer on a season-long loan from Brentford.
