Further confirmation of Kepa's great talent. Also another stat display showing more of the ludicrously overrated Pickford's shortcomings. We dodged a massive bullet not signing him.

I feel bad for him, it seems every goal we have conceded has been unstoppable except the Arsenal one I guess. 

Maybe it's just me but feel like Kepa could have come and claimed the free kick BATE converted on Thursday. As @Tomopointed out before, commanding the box in set piece situations is the one thing he doesn't have over Courtois.

Id be more concerned about using zonal marking to be fair. Never been a fan.

The zonal marking may be more concerning but it would certainly our cause in set piece situations if Kepa commands the box and claims the ball, whenever possible. Not that it has been a big issue but yeah...

Perhaps but again I don't think it was a clear opportunity for him to go for the ball. Was a poor goal to concede though, which is why I'm not sure if zonal marking is the long term solution, teams with runners from set pieces attacking the ball will always have the advantage on standing players.

Tibo did that because he was taller. Watch yesterday, the couple of times he tried claiming the ball at set pieces he ran into traffic and looked a bit shaky because he doesnt tower over everyone like Tibo who was 6ft5 I believe.

That was brilliant keeper play. Watched him do similar feats at Athletic Bilbao for several years. Btw, Bilbao have never been relegated, ever. They are now in serious danger of it.
