Ramsdale is top class again

We have not seen Aaron Ramsdale seen many games in a Bournemouth shirt, but already he has shaken up the goalkeeping group. He looks totally at ease in Bournemouth's goal and ready for the Premier League.
Ramsdale has been spectacular as AFCB's number one.
The saves he made against Aston Villa were made with great positioning and strong hands. He anticipates particularly well and is always moving towards the ball when it is hit. At least we can stop talking about his age and start to comment on what he is doing on the pitch.

Bournemouth have struggled to find a keeper that was truly Premier League class, but I believe they have found one in Ramsdale and they may have another in Travers. It is great that Eddie Howe has put his faith in these two young keepers as they won't be on the kind of wages that Boruc and Begovic are on, and in a way it is a pity that Bournemouth haven't off loaded one of their more experienced keepers this summer. The Bournemouth goal looks in safe hands and Ramsdale is only going to get better once he has more games under his belt.

What I really like about Ramsdale is that he comes for crosses and likes to punch if he can't take a ball cleanly. He gets down quick and his kicking is very long. These are qualities that the Cherries haven't had in goal for a while and Ramsdale could well be the number one choice for many years to come. From what seemed a goalkeeping problem at the start of the summer has become a name that Eddie Howe can confidently put first on the team sheet. Ramsdale has been nothing short of top class so far. That is why he has taken both man of the match choices for me in the last two games.

In other news, Sam Surridge scored his first goal for Swansea on loan in a 3-1 win over QPR.
