One slight problem though - he's letting in shots that he should have saved. Norwich's and Wolves' recent second goals come to mind. 

Really shouldn't have let Valencia's goal in either tbh.

that is a bit harsh, 95% plus was on the defence falling asleep on that free kick

Whenever a goalkeeper gets their hands on the ball, you feel like they ought to save it.

thats is a really harsh standard (not just for that goal)

Kepa has had a few too many of those 

I do grant that, but he has not been a mess overall

the one thing I am not completely happy with is his distribution so far this year

he was brilliant last year

that's where the coaches need to step in

and also work on his arm/hand strength

The bounce did him in I think as he was going low to save it. Ball was hit into the ground and bounced over right in front of him. Had little time to readjust.

I agree that he hasn't be dreadful at all, which is why I hadn't criticised him till now. Just a number of goals in recent weeks could have possibly been prevented.

His arm/hand strength is his biggest issue. He doesn't know how to push a shot away from danger or catch it to reduce pressure. Very annoying really. He should start punching away balls if his fingertips are too soft to push shots a fair distance away

Okay @kellzfresh, we heard you the first time...  

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Is it his arm/hand strength that is his biggest issue do you think? :-P

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

Definitely not on last season level. Is it him or because of defense I don't know.

You're only as good as the defence you have in front you, and the defence in front of him is as effective as a carrier bag with a fucking giant hole at the bottom of it.

De Gea defied that notion not too long ago.

That's because, two years ago, he was head and shoulders above any player in the PL. He is a freak exception to the general trend.

Utd probably have the best defence they've had since Fergie left, yet, he looks worse than ever.   

 

 

He's suddenly declined or is your theory just flawed?

 

A great defence around you can't prevent some of Kepa's recent mistakes.

"Is your theory just flawed"... no, he's had a horrendous decline and anyone with even a microcosm of a footballing brain can quite clearly see that. 

 

People talk about "Kepa's recent mistakes" but I can count on one finger the number of goals this season I'd attribute his fault to... 

[killer1257 3,282]

I thought he really had a very, very good game, or did I just watch the wrong game?
