We've got a new Kepa

Featured Replies

I'm convinced we win that game with ANY other premier league goalkeeper.

Litterally any of them. Probably most reserve goalies would have kept half of those goals out.

 

He's absolutely abysmal. Goes with the wrong hand, wrong positionning, no presence and often just stands there rooted and helpless.

 

I've bit my tongue all season but I can't take it any more.

Get Caballero in and get rid.

 

Also, do you think we'd be in the FA cup final if Kepa was playing in the cup? If you do, I have a bridge to sell you. 

Actually nothing extraordinary happened. Usually the opponents have 2 or 3 goals out of 4 or 5 shoots, today we played better team that had 7 shots on goal. 

Expect him to start Sunday and then at Wembley too.

OK I'm done. I've tried to defend him but that's enough for me. Ruduger and zouma too. Get rid of the lot if them. 

If Frank starts him he's trolling us and forcing the board's hand to take action and sign an upgrade. 

If it's at the expense of the FA cup and CL qualification I'd rather he just play Willy and bin the fraud. 

Genuinely had enough of him. Biscuit wrists. It’s not just the ability, I don’t think he has it mentally. He has no presence in that box and it’s even worse when you can hear the defenders shouting for him to collect a ball 3 yards out and he just lets it sail past.

 

Our defence is bad, there’s no disputing that but having Kepa behind them only makes it worse. The decline we’ve had in first choice goalkeepers is staggering.

If I was Roman I’d be on the phone to Atletico tonight telling them I’ll deposit Oblaks release clause in their account by 8am tomorrow.

Forget Torres, forget Shevchenko. This guy is easily the worst buy we made.

Without a shadow of a doubt. 

And in a much more vital position too. 

 

If Giroud had a comparably awful game we might still win. No chance tonight with a keeper just giving them away. 

 

Ben Foster against City was everywhere and kept out far more than he let in. Had Kepa been in their goal he'd have shipped double figures.

I've been a staunch supporter of giving Kepa time and focusing on getting a LB and CB, but I've just about hit my wits end with this guy. The goals he has allowed and his incredibly low save percentage - while not everything - do not make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. He has got to do better and he has got to have stronger hands and wrists.

BTW I’m not having it when people say he’s not tall enough, he can touch the crossbar so he is tall enough.

He just doesn’t move his feet to be in the correct position to save high shots, most of the goals he concedes ain’t even in the corner of the net.

He’s not good enough, that’s the problem!

Thing I don’t get is that not many of us were questioning him under Sarri. He’s he’s not perfect but he was decent under Sarri. 
 

It’s not ALL on Kepa

I play the equivalent of five a side (when my knee isn't acting up) and believe me when I say that most amateur keepers (many having to borrow gloves) are FAR better shot stoppers than the fraud that's INEXPLICABLY the world record signing.

The basques must be pissing themselves at how they bent us over a barrell on this one. 

Just think about it, you're one of our attacking players, what's the point in breaking your back and scoring a goal when you've got some absolute dip sh*t at the back that's going to give a goal away anyway?

I believe that his confidence is on the ground now, he is all lost around.

Not sure he is the type of GK that can bring us to the top. I think if there is a club that wants to give him a chance, we must sell him.

We would genuinely have to find a club that doesn’t watch the PL or look at any sort of due diligence before signing a player.

 If Marina gets even half of what we paid for him back it’ll be her biggest transfer achievement bar none.

I think many of us were trying to be supportive since it was his first season in the prem and a new team /system.

Look at DDG, he was horrid for the beginning of his time as N1 but he came good. 

Kepa doesn't even do the basics right. He's just not a good goalkeeper by any metric, and whoever scouted him and greenlighted the deal should be sacked.

Yes, they've had more than enough chances to prove themselves and they are just not good enough for us!

Zouma will do fine at a EL chasing level team.

Rudi has gone miles backwards and probably needs to move to a new league.

Kepa should take up  hockey where he'll have a tiny goal and lots of padding.

It's the HEAT of the moment and we need to blow off some steam, wait for the highlights to come out and we can analyse them properly.

That being said, we need to ship him off on a 5 year loan deal to whereever Karius is going next so he can warm the bench for his superior.

Plenty of us were criticising him last year. I think he just got cut more slack as it was his first year in the Prem but this is his second season. There should be improvement but if anything he’s regressing and getting worse.
