• Arteta has transformed Arsenal into title contenders
• 'Critics remain despite Arteta's success'
• 'Palmer shocked by Raya over Ramsdale choice'

Mikel Arteta has revolutionized Arsenal, turning them from top four hopefuls to genuine title challengers. His tactical decisions have been spot on, but criticism still exists.

One major talking point is the goalkeeper situation at Arsenal. Carlton Palmer expressed disbelief in Arteta choosing David Raya over Aaron Ramsdale, citing Ramsdale as the superior option based on last season's performances.

Ramsdale was expected to be given a chance as the number one keeper and not handed a new contract if he wasn't going to start. However, despite initial doubts, Raya has proven himself worthy of the position with stellar performances that contribute positively towards Arsenal's push for silverware.

Conclusion

While some may question Arteta’s goalkeeping selection process, it ultimately seems justified considering Raya’s impressive displays and contribution towards potentially winning titles for his team. In football, tough decisions must be made in pursuit of glory sentimentality often takes a back seat when aiming for greatness.
