Goalkeeper's statistics suggest he is costing Chelsea goals and experts in the field believe there is a technical flaw in his game https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11913442/kepa-arrizabalagas-chelsea-future-is-he-a-problem-for-frank-lampard You gotta wonder what on earth are Kepa and the coaching staff doing in training when the same problems with him keep on happening. Lampard was asked Kepa's form in his presser earlier and unsurprisingly, he gave a rather diplomatic answer... bigbluewillie, Vesper, Blue Armour and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippy 342 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Doing the impossible by making the Torres. signing look like good value for money. Apart from having decent reflexes for low shots, he is fecking pants at every other aspect of goalkeeping! We're just making far, far too many terrible or bang average signings, and until we get people in who know what they're doing when looking at players to sign, we won't have a prayer of challenging for the title again any time soon! bigbluewillie and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard was asked Kepa's form in his presser earlier and unsurprisingly, he gave a rather diplomatic answer... You could also ask the same question why Willian nor the Coaching staff for instance never improved his flaws or Zouma never learned to be a ball playing defender or Azpi never learned how to be a good Offensive FB etc.That is his weakness and he can work on it all day long, but he has to show it in the match. It seems to me that Kepa struggles with confidence Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I've never rated Kepa from the off, he's too much of a flapper. I can't understand how the fuck we paid £76M for him or for that fact why we bought him at all, yet another panic buy. He might be ok as a 2nd choice but no better than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 He has struggled this season but lets not forget how many countless big saves he made last season in games where we werent great. People branding him a panic buy really are forgetful and need to calm down. I am concerned with how hes being coached behind the scenes though. Alabama, Blue Armour and !Hazard! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chippy 342 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 My tactic to play against us would be to shoot as soon aa you get inside our half. You only need two on target and one will go in. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Two shots on target - two goals. He just isn't good enough, simple as that. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 At this point, just play Caballero or Jamie Cumming. Can't be any worse! Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I tried to convince myself he's a system keeper and he'd look better once we get better but recently we have been shutting teams out for the most part yet still conceding the few times they venture in our box. It's everybit as bad as the Bravo situation at City at this point. We need to sign another keeper in the next ten days. Given the price tag he'll probably have to get one more chance but we need a solid contingency plan. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
