Vybzkartel 284 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Simon Johnson jinxed him the moment he wrote that article on him earlier today, I knew he was now due a big time blunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 A costly mistake but still the least of our problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlen Correa 161 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Well folks i need you to remember that its never Kepa's fault. Reading some previous comments i could find inspiration to blame the defense, midfielders, full backs, the position of the near stars and the weather. Also maybe the fans should be more honest and ask themselves: "what did i do wrong in that goal".  We can't put the responsibility in the keeper for his faults. robsblubot and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 should have done much better for Wolves equalizer, nothing he could do for the 2nd. William was crying like a bitch asking for a foul that never came instead of marking his man and we ended up conceding. Embarassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm aware of this but given the transfer market situation and how things are going, it is normal so I don't need to focus on the value of the transfer. "I do need to focus on playing my football and what's happening on the pitch rather than off it... I want to be myself and not think about it. "I'm here now playing for Chelsea. I chose to leave my home at Athletic Bilbao and it was an important step in my career. "I wouldn't call it pressure [replacing Courtois], I would just say it is how the transfer market goes. He went and I came in and I'm not one to focus on the comings and going. "I'm focused on myself and there is a great opportunity for me to come here. I wanted to take advantage of this and enjoy my football and look forward and not back. "I'm happy here both on a personal and a team level and I'm happy here in London. Looking towards the future excites me with the possibilities we have to improve and I'm excited about what the future might bring."

Popular Post! OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted December 29, 2018 Have to admit. This guy has been very impressive so far. Calm with the ball.

Popular Post! DDA 9,941 Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm soo happy we got this guy. He is going to be one of the best GK's of his generation. Bar a few errors and some dodgy passing he is easily eclipsing many GKs debut seasons in the PL. He shows tremendous mental stability.

True but clean sheets are clean sheets and if you want to get all picky, then Courtois kept 1 clean sheet in 2 League Cup appearances, which is the same amount as Kepa and both played against Premier League oppositions. Courtois may have played in the Champions League but the quality of opponents weren't exactly proper UCL level with his only 2 clean sheets coming against Schalke and Sporting Lisbon. In the Premier League, Courtois ended 2014/15 with 13 clean sheets. Kepa's currently on 9 (only Alisson has more clean sheets than him after 20 games). Should be able to get at least 5 more in the remaining 18 games. Stats and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, he's been more than good and most certainly will have more clean-sheets this season in PL than Courtois in his first season.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The spine of this team needs completing with a top class striker, with Kepa, Rudiger, Jorginho and a top striker it goes a long way to helping a few of our problems. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
