And I suffer and I care about every player who is not playing, but this is the competition and this is my job to make decisions in the best possible way for the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In your tummy when you have players sitting (out) and you have to announce the line-up, it is one of the hardest things.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/22\/22\/75745473-0-image-a-1_1695417152165.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta has admitted that the decision to drop Aaron Ramsdale in favour of David Raya was not easy<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/22\/22\/75745475-0-image-a-2_1695417155821.jpg\" height=\"428\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Former Brentford &#8216;keeper Raya has kept back-to-back clean sheets after taking the place of England international Ramsdale<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Players feel valued and happy when they play. And when they don\u2019t, it is very difficult. You want them to feel loved and trusted, and the way to do it is to play them. But everybody understands it is a team sport and it is always 11 players starting.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Arteta came under fire from Bernd Leno, the player Ramsdale squeezed out under Arteta three games after joining in 2021, who attacked the Spaniard\u2019s \u2018very strange\u2019 idea to use goalkeepers as normal substitutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I would feel very strange and very surprised if I would see the No 17 was coming off in minute 75,\u201d Fulham\u2019s Leno told the Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everyone in the stadium would be surprised. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s myself or Alisson at Liverpool, it doesn\u2019t make sense. The keeper coming on would feel even worse than me, coming on and not warmed up with no contact with the ball and no feeling for the distances.
