I don’t know if I thought Ramsdale was excellent, but I know every time I looked at the statistics for him I thought “What? Really?”
Keepers don’t have any good statistics. More precisely I don’t think the constructs people use to try and measure keepers are any good, which means conclusions drawn from them are unsound.
Ramsdale seems particularly unfortunate where whatever he’s doing that makes him look competent is just not captured by any (commonly used) statistic, while the aspects of his game that I would tend to agree he’s not great at are better measured and he just so happens to do quite badly on save quality measures that, in general, I don’t think are any good but are nevertheless popular.
