David Raya

[amersfoort bee]

I thought he had a very good game and made some outstanding saves and a couple of very good passes.

 

[belvederebee]

Dunk came in the net looked at us behind the goal and shook his head n laughed. They just knew they weren’t gonna beat him whatever they tried ?

Coming in the net? Disgusting.

Numbers 2 & 3 in this comp are unbelievable saves. I'm not sure people appreciate how difficult it is to "swipe" as accurately as this, with such a strong hand. He doesn't "just" save those efforts, but ensures there's no dangerous rebounds too.

 

[Bumbling fool]

Interesting stat I hadn't appreciated. Obviously not the be all and end all (we're 15th for goals against so there's more to it than volume of saves) but he's still clearly a top quality shot stopper,

Worried for his spot in the Spain squad with Kepa in this form…

I'd be more worried if I was Robert Sanchez !

Good point. Hope you’re right!

yes, and no De Gea...

5 keepers in the squad are:
David Raya
Sanchez (BHA)
Unai Simon (Bilbao)
Kepa Arriz....(Chelsea)
David Soria (Getafe)

Looking at that list, I reckon there's a strong chance of him going to Qatar ?

Yes. Assumption is that top 3 names in list go.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Raya
Simon
Kepa

 

[brighton bee]

Yes. Assumption is that top 3 names in list go.

Kepa is in incredible form though?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Anyone got any old clips of Kevin Dearden doing this?

No, but I think I see him lying down on the right when the camera pans over...

Weve already got bryan on hit the post duties

Despite Toney and Nørgaard being restored to the lineup, Raya retains the captaincy vs Gillingham.

Yes yes, the deleted the original tweet which incorrectly listed Raya as captain!

Sorry, just saw it on the other thread and didn’t realise you’d seen the updated one!

[westendbee]

He’s a great keeper but correct me if I’m wrong, he has never saved a penalty in a Brentford shirt

You're wrong. Check earlier in thread.

Yes in POs against Swansea. However you couldn't argue he's a penalty specialist....

 

[westendbee]

You're wrong. Check earlier in thread.

Can’t be arsed. Tell me when.

 

[magicbees]

You're wrong. Check earlier in thread.

Swansea in the play off semi final but can't think of any others. Not his fault the 10 in front of him should have performed.

 

[mattbee]

West brom in a shoot out as well from memory

Ok my bad but that’s still a long time since he last saved one and in that time he’s never got close

 

[hanworthbee]

Have we even conceded that many ?

Still not sure why he played tonight as surely you need your back up to play sometimes

The backup is broken

Ok the young back up to the backup ?

 

[Three3D]

Brilliant keeper, but let's all be honest, you don't want him trying to save pens... You gotta hope they miss the target... that's all you've got...

Some of you have got better stats info than I have...when was the last time Raya saved a pen in a professional game?

Doesn’t really matter does it? Everyone thinks of a penalty as an almost certain goal, ignoring penalty shootouts how many penalties does your average keeper face in a season, I suspect it is so few that it is not considered relevant. Could David do better? Maybe. Does it matter if he is performing above average everywhere else? Probably not.

Yeah..sure..all I'm saying is.. when it comes to penalty shoot outs...you look at Raya and think...nah...

when was the last one?

 

[Vid]

I'm sure we have the stats in the club but if he just stood still in the middle of the goal he would've saved a couple tonight.

Exactly cox should have played , no need at all to have risked him last night

 

[Leonardo]

Off to pursue dream of Champions League football

 

[hanworthbee]

I think we all know he’ll be leaving at the end of the season along with Toney

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Players come and go, that's football. As crazy as this sounds, I quite enjoy the buzz of a new incoming player

 

[TheHairdresser]

Vive la revolution

 

[jlove]

If he’d stood still in the middle of the goal, the taker would’ve kicked to one side…

Confirmed as part of the Spainish WC squad - congratulations David.

Great news. Was worried they would just take Kepa, Simon and Sanchez.

Can't think of anything worse than Dunk Sp...!

 

[grepo]

That is fantastic news though not surprising. Well done, David. Hope you get the no.1 spot, and best of luck.

 

[TW3Bee]

Congratulations David, but I can only see him playing if there is an injury to the first choice.
Still a great experience for him.

 

[stevendamico]

Remarkable that we have a keeper who was selected for Spain. Pretty special for the club.
