Not saying Lampard is at fault. But at the time we had our worst defense in 30 years. Plus Kepa had breakup. There is this agenda when it comes to Kepa that he is a Karius or something like that but in his first season under Sarri he was one of the top3 players in the season. Was good under TT last season, keeping clean sheets for fun, this season 6 games so far, not one less than 8/10 performance. By far most valuable player if you consider minutes played.
And about Bilbao... Well Real was interested, we spent 71m for him, so clearly there is something there. Was good for Spain as well... So all good, just one bad period and this is why it is called anomaly but people are keep pushing that agenda that is regular Kepa.
