I personally don't think you can blame Kepa for any of them.

His biggest mistake for me was in the 91st minute and he got away with it!

Its not about blaming Kepa for mistakes, although he certainly makes some, its the fact that he just hardly ever makes any match winning saves saves. I never expect him to save a good on goal and he very rarely does.

He is such a step down from Cudicini, Cech and Courtois and he simply does not have what it takes to be a title winning GK.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure we could do with a better keeper Biggish but the social media meltdown is on par with Chernobyl.

I'm in a few Chelsea groups on facebook and the venom being spat out about him is absolutely ridiculous.

It's at the stage now where he gets the blame for every goal we conceed and I'm finding the over the top critisism pathetic!

The link below provides full analyses of Kepa's performances. It's quite a long read, but it gives insight about Kepa's struggle

.

And even if it was there, I'm not a great slave to stats anyway!

But that is social media for you. This forum is my only involvement in social media football related

But unfortunately Biggish, social media nowadays is a very powerful tool.

Unless players life in a cave, they're unlikely not to be aware of the critisism and it's not going to help with their confidence, especially when it's so vociferous.

I really feel for the lad at the moment!

Nobody knows about this site so it's fine.

So with that in mind, would you start with Willy instead of Kepa

Especially given Kepa's behaviour in his last final too...in fact he's never been right since has he..?

No he has not Sheriff, and he should have been outta the door then. He is very average and does not instill confidence AT ALL !

I see it as an electronic playground for kid fans tbh. I have no time for it and block it out completely. Loads of know nothings standing on an electronic soap box.

I agree though that the mainstream media like Sky etc give social media too much of a platform...and that goes for everything

Personally no, I think he's an interior keeper to Kepa.

First thing he did when Kepa was dropped last time was make a horrendous mistake to give away a goal.

Can't remember who it was against now.

That said it depends on his frame of mind at the moment and how mentally strong he is.

Shame Bulka wanted to leave last summer, he seemed fairly decent for a young keeper!

I think it was agst Leicester but I actually think he is better than Kepa and would start him today.

I was thinking Leicester because I seem to remember Harvey Barnes scored against us in the same game!

Jorginho looks like he's getting ready to audition for one of the Three Musketeers!

Now we've confirmed top four, I wonder if this Havertz business will be bought to a swift conclusion!

Anyone been watching the Cricket v The West Indies (Standfast Nick)?

Did you notice the size of the West Indian batting down at 10?

I thought it was Tyrone the getaway driver from Snatch!
