Distribution is excellent, right up there with the Brazilian pair, as it shotstopping.
My only minor worry is command of his area, but then again after Courtois (who basically ran his own air traffic control system) the only way was down on that aspect.
Overall though very happy with him.
For his age he's doing great imo.
Initially I wasn't over impressed. Crosses seem to bother him as much as they do Dracula, but last couple of games he's seemed more assured. I do still have reservations about him coming for crosses but we shall see, time will tell.

Funnily enough he's actually older than both Cech and Courtois when they started with us
The one position we do tend to get right is identifying keepers, if only we were half as good with strikers.
Am very pleased with Kepa ,he's got very good hands, and is developing a presence in goal,so glad the miserable postman has gone.
He's a good promising Kepa.
If only he could grow a few inches, needs to work on commanding his box for crosses/corners but I'm sure that will come with time
Do Ederson, Lloris or De Gea need to grow a few inches?
De Gea is taller than Kepa.
Lloris makes quite a lot of mistakes and he plays for Spurs so couldn't care less.
Ederson I'm not totally convinced
Think people have pretty much expressed my thoughts. Seems to be a good shot stopper, good with his feet but I havent been as impressed as others seem to be with his kicking (though i have noticed an improvement these last few games) and a little worried with him in crowded boxes. But very early days so lets see.

I think he struggled in La Liga commanding his areas tbf, so this part of the game has never been his strongest tbf. In terms of shot stopping, including long and and short range saves as well as distribution he’s very adept imo.
Yes a good keeper with a lot of potential.
Doing how i thought he would. Good young keeper who will excel in the league in time, will be an up and down first season as he matures and gets used to the league.
Expect him to be brilliant next season
De Gea isn't a huge amount taller. Kepa is a bit diminutive is all
Not made a gaffe yet? Impressive for a young keeper if so being his first season in the league.

He had a bit of a dodgy game against Arsenal but other than that has been absolutely fine.
