Chelsea GKs worse than Kepa?

Agree Bov. I would even take DeGea over him (as bad as he currently is) because even though he is making clangers, he is still making decent saves at times also and even more importantly the sort of problem that you described with Kepa is a fundamental one, that isn't clearly detectable with DeGea. With our current set up if we concede a corner, it's like conceding a penalty!! Almost guaranteed to be a goal as the opposition managers are not slow to crowd Kepa, knowing he doesn't command anything.

DeGea astounds me in how good and bad he can be...
It must just be concentration levels with him

The trouble with Kepa now is that it's probably gone too far & his confidence is shot

Not helping having any variation of the fackin chuckle brothers in front of him either....I cannot believe how collectively poor our defence is

Who sanctioned his signing? 70m+ for a guy who would be lucky to make the top 10 keepers in the league.

Probably the same twit who sanctioned Morata and Bakayoko.

Morata I could see...& he started like a train

As for the other two...one has to wonder

I was very interested when Chelsea bought Kepa because in Spain, his talent has always been seen as flawed. Yet Chelsea spent a lot of money on him.

First of all, when Chelsea bought him, people were talking about his distribution, but he came from one of the most direct teams in La Liga, Athletic Club.

Then, something he has always been accused of here is having his weight behind him - when he sets himself, he is leaning forward as a starting position, leaving him a little less time to react and a little off balance.

Another criticism, apart from the start position is his hand position which means he gets little force on the ball with his hands.

A good goalkeeper dominates and makes himself bigger, but whenever I saw him play in La Liga, Kepa did not show dominance.

Never goes well when we try to get cute in the market. The potential squad we might've had now if we weren't tryna be cleverd!cks in that 17-18 window.

Alex Sandro... instead of Emerson
Van Dijk (part ex with Christensen)
Fabinho... instead of Bakayoko
The Ox or Traore... instead of Zappacosta
Lukaku... instead of Morata

Mad ain't it

I think his absence from the Wolves game means that Frank will be not keen to pick him again. Look at the Liverpool goals, he fails to move on 4 of these! Kepa has been a terrible purchase, many better keepers in DIv 1 & 2. Like Will Norris on loan at Ipswich from Wolves. Young and English. I am ^0 we used to laugh at foreign keepers........
