Mendy has been the best keeper in the PL. Martinez has been suspect in a lot of games while Mendy has almost been faultless.

His amazing save from Aguero’s penalty is testament to his greatness
As a Chelsea supporter, I have to say I was dubious about Mendy, but he is definitely growing into his role. He's definitely one of the top keepers in the league at present, but whether he's best or not, I'm not too sure. Martinez has been very good at Villa and Arsenal should've kept hold of him but not sure he's been the best.
Mendy for me, he has been very good since joining really. Martinez has had a more than good season himself though personally speaking, should have definitely been given a better chance at Arsenal.
Martinez is comfortably better than Mendy
Martinez has conceded more than Leno despite being at a team having a great season compared to Leno being at a club having its worst season in living memory.

Goals conceded is a bit of a reductive stat
So many soft goals as well.
Martinez at a guess would have faced about double the shots as Mendy

In that order for me

Look at the percentages. Usually, a keeper from a "lesser" club saves more shots in pure numbers. They face more shots. When the keepers at the top clubs have save percentages approaching 70% - they are doing very well. I would suspect that Martinez has similar shot stopping ratios to Ederson - not sure Mendy will be there but he won't be far away.
'Post Shot Expected Goals Vs Goals Conceded' is the best easily accessible shot stopping metric around and it has Martinez as one of the best shot stoppers around and Mendy as essentially average
Number of goals conceded or saves made in a given season is not usually a good indicator of a goalkeeper's performance. More often than not you find the goalkeepers playing for clubs at the bottom of the league nearing the top of that list.

Exactly this. Even the save ratios are misleading because sometimes the top keepers only face three or four shots in a match. Mendy's stop ratio must have suffered badly as a result of that one game against WBA. But save ratio is probably the best marker to show how a keeper is doing. I expect Mendy to be 2nd or 3rd to Ederson and Martinez - still a great achievement when you look at how poor Chelsea were under Frank, missing the first 5 or 6 games and a new club and a new league. As I say, I was dubious but I think he is as much of a steal as Kepa was daylight robbery!

That comes down to his footwork and kicking ability above anything else. His shot stopping is good, he has a big frame so is naturally difficult to beat but in the games I have seen England play with him in goal looking to build from the back, he has looked suspicious and has made a few errors or given the ball away where other goalkeepers, like Pickford, possibly wouldn't have done.
I do also think a team like England, who want to dominate the ball, will want a goalkeeper with a strong kicking or passing ability, I dare say over actual shot stopping ability. As you have mentioned in your comment above, goalkeepers at top clubs don't tend to make that many saves per game anyway, so it can be more beneficial to have somebody who can start attacks from the back and not relinquish possession often rather than have a world class shot stopper. Ideally, you'd want both, hence why the likes of Alisson, Ederson, Ter Stegen, Neuer etc have been at the best clubs in the world for various seasons.
Never mind the who's best debate, it's a tamato/tamato one. However the fact it even is a debate shows that the key point here is how much of a moron Arteta was to sell Martinez. Made Villa's season and destroyed his own in one fowl, dumbass swoop.

no one wanted Leno & Martinez wanted assurances of being our Number 1 before signing a new contract Leno's wages would have been very high for a second choice keeper as well
But “SeLlInG eMi WaS gOoD bUsInEsS”???
One of the things not fully taken into account in shots:saves is the number of times a goalkeeper comes out and takes out the danger by catching or even punching the ball. A goalkeeper like Leno who cannot effectively come for crosses may make what looks like a great save (or not) when another goalkeeper like Martinez would just have come out and caught the freaking ball !
Been saying since Emi was sold, was an awful decision and he could have been the start of a spine because he really commanded his area and instilled confidence in the defence.
I think that both were pretty much on a par with shot saving with perhaps Leno a touch better , but Emi's dominance of his area on crosses etc was miles better than Leno which took a lot of pressure off the defenders and also gave them confidence. The argument that Emi was let go because Leno was paid too much to be second string just reinforces the mess we've been in with players being paid above their worth.
