Summary
FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joined the lads to break down the evolving role of the modern goalkeeper and how the position has become more influential than ever. Ramsdale lifted the lid on his relationship with manager Mikel Arteta, explaining how he’s given responsibility to dictate play and make key decisions during build-up phases.
The conversation dives into the tactical details behind set pieces, including the increasingly popular “draft excluder” role, with Ramsdale offering a goalkeeper’s perspective on why it’s used, when it matters, and how it can impact the outcome of free kicks.
He also shares insight into communication within the squad, the intelligence of teammates like Martin Ødegaard, and the growing importance of goalkeepers in shaping a team’s overall strategy.
But most importantly… who was the most parched?

| 0:00.0 | Right, so the impression I've always got from Crouchy with the manager's relationship with goalkeepers is that the manager was always, maybe it's just how you saw it, maybe I've misunderstood it, quite possible. |
| 0:11.0 | But the manager was more bothered with the outfield players and the goalies were kind of more into themselves. |
| 0:17.0 | And the impression I'm getting from you is that the manager's quite involved with you. |
| 0:21.3 | So this is where I know me and Crapture earlier, |
| 0:23.8 | we were having a bit of banter about goalies being more important, |
| 0:26.1 | but that is the way it's going now. |
| 0:28.2 | Like, when we're doing build-up phase, |
| 0:31.3 | the manager is basically speaking to me. |
| 0:33.7 | He tells people where to go. |
| 0:36.3 | He gives me a format of how to play, but then puts his arm around me and says, you're playing the game, you make your own decisions. He was heavily involved in bringing me to the club. So I almost... Not necessarily favouritism, but... Now, but you get the big coat. Do you know what I mean by then? Yeah. It gives me the added sense of... |
| 0:55.1 | Are you parched? |

| 1:05.3 | He's put a lot of time and if... |
| 1:07.4 | Lennon would think you're parched, I reckon. |
| 1:09.6 | What a hundred percent think of reckon. He's there, that's right. He's texting everyone else, isn't he? He's texting his pals. Barth. Yeah. They've signed parched. Martin Oedegaard's parched. Not mine Oedegarde Garde's. Sweet boy. Odigar's parched. I can see that. He looks parched. He knows parched. To be fair, he was playing for Realm of Gildo and he's 12 or something. Yeah, yeah. He's been around and... |
| 1:30.6 | Is he... I can see that. He looks farch. He knows. He knew he was far. To be fair, he was playing for Realm of Gidron. |

| 1:29.1 | Yeah, yeah. |
