SILENCE OF THE RAMS

Troy Deeney: Ramsdale’s dad has absolutely KILLED him with Arsenal comments – it could backfire badly

Brentford could take advantage of Ramsdale's lack of confidence

UP until this week, I thought Aaron Ramsdale would be OK against Brentford.

I was confident he would have a strong game and put himself in contention again.

But that was before I heard his dad speak

It has made the situation ten times worse.

This was going to be a free hit for Aaron, and as a father, if you want to then speak after that game when your son has played well, that’s fine by me. 

Apply the pressure to Mikel Arteta.

Yet he has now put his lad under the microscope even further with his comments criticising Mikel for his decision making.

Now Ramsdale is starting for Arsenal against Brentford as David Raya is ineligible to play against his parent club.

And Aaron will have to have the perfect game, be good with his feet, take crosses and make two or three good saves.

If I am Brentford, I am putting the first couple of crosses right under the bar and saying to Aaron: ‘Let’s have a go’.

Those comments from his dad have absolutely killed him.

I hope it doesn’t backfire badly.
