Kepa Arrizabalaga

Yeah, let's blame Kepa lol 

I don't see the difference even if we draw. Kepa saved sitter in the first half. And that goal he conceded happened because he moved to the right side just a moment before shot and was on the wrong foot. Every outfield player deserves more criticism.

His positioning in general against long attempts, has and will always be below average.

Kepa's kryptonite, long shots.

The stench of his 19/20 season will always give teams encouragement from long range. Tielmens said he was told by a friend to hit it if he had the chance and sadly he did.

Good thing is, nowadays there are very few Ppl consistently good at long shots. In the 00s we would have been toast with Kepa.

Peak Lampard and Gerrard would have their way with Kepa.

Kepinho 

will need him when we inevitably get to  pens at the cwc so it’s good he got his confidence up 

[milka 3,308]

• The most penalty shootout saves in Chelsea history.

• Key penalty saves in four cup competitions, including a final.

• 10 overall penalties saved for Chelsea.

It doesn't look like an expensive flop 🙃

The cup final is really a catch 22.

Any other opponent (even City) I'll say play him because he's earned it, but if there's one team that really take advantage of his long shot weakness (the one part of his game Tuchel hasn't managed to erase) it's Liverpool.

nothing Tuchel can do about weirdly short arms, lol

put Kepa on the rack maybe, lol

I dont remember this ever happened? 

Kepa 13 games this season 8 MOTM. And in other 5 he was also among 2 or 3 best players.

Ofc if minutes played are not so low he would be POTY easily.

Kepa this season can only be compered to best Messi, Ronaldo, Pele and Maradona seasons 😌

Never seen such a dominance...

[MoroccanBlue 5,219]

Thought at the very least he'd save Konate's or Elliot's. 

Yes he was shocking (considering his standards) but the weight of blame on our wasted chances outweigh his performance in the shootout.

Konate's shot should have been saved for sure. He wasn't composed tonight and jumped way to early against a CB.
