Arsenal legend David Seaman says \u2018he can\u2019t get his head around\u2019 why Mikel Arteta is rotating his goalkeepers, saying it\u2019s \u2018unfair\u2019 on Aaron Ramsdale.<\/p>\n
Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Arteta made several changes to his side for Sunday\u2019s clash at Everton, with Ramsdale notably dropped for summer signing David Raya to make his debut at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
The new keeper kept a clean sheet, though had very little to do, as the Gunners beat the Toffees 1-0 thanks to a sublime strike from Leandro Trossard.<\/p>\n
The decision to change keepers was one that many though could happen after Arteta shockingly signed Raya on loan from Brentford, though the call has divided fans and pundits alike given how Ramsdale has done little wrong since moving to the Emirates two years ago.<\/p>\n
Many expected, the England international to keep his place in the Premier League, with the Spaniard given a go in the Champions League and cup competitions, with Seaman stumped by Arteta\u2019s logic.<\/p>\n
\u2018Aaron not in goal really shocked me if I\u2019m honest. I find it hard to understand,\u2019 the legendary Arsenal keeper said on the Seaman Says podcast.<\/p>\n
\u2018I still can\u2019t get my head around if they\u2019re going to be swapping and chopping and changing the goalkeeper. I don\u2019t like that from what it does at the back because the players have to get used to two different goalkeepers.<\/p>\n

\u2018But I think the bigger question is: Who plays Wednesday [against PSV] because it\u2019s UEFA Champions League and neither of them have played in it. I think that\u2019ll be a telling point as to who\u2019s going to continue.<\/p>\n
\u2018David Raya\u2019s got loads of experience and is good quality. He\u2019s going to want to play, he\u2019s going to need to play. You can\u2019t keep a goalkeeper like that as a number two for a long period because if Aaron gets injured David needs to be up to speed.<\/p>\n
\u2018That\u2019s the only thing that I can think. There\u2019s a lot to look at going forward as to why he\u2019s done this but at the moment for me it\u2019s really hard to work out. I\u2019ve never seen this before.\u2019<\/p>\n

Seaman also added that he thinks Ramsdale will be \u2018disappointed\u2019 by Arteta\u2019s decision and doesn\u2019t see how Arteta will be able to effectively rotate the two shot-stoppers, saying: \u2018It\u2019s weird because Aaron\u2019s not played badly at all.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s played well and he\u2019s coming off the back of a win with England up in Scotland in which he was brilliant out from the back. He didn\u2019t have many shots to save but is coming off a high and then to receive the news that he\u2019s not playing must have been quite disappointing for him.<\/p>\n
\u2018This is his third season, he\u2019s established and you\u2019re expecting to carry on as number one until he has a couple of dodgy games but I never saw this coming. It\u2019ll be tough for him because he\u2019s only 25 don\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n
\u2018It depends on what happens next. Is he still gonna chop and change when both of them are playing really well? Or is he going to wait for one to make a mistake? But then that\u2019s a little bit unfair because Aaron\u2019s not made any mistakes and he\u2019s left him out.\u2019<\/p>\n
