Kepa was brilliant this season. Style is unorthodox so people think it isn't safe. Same thing with DDG. People said he wasn't safe because he was stopping shots with his feet instead of getting down low and palming away... so much for that.

I LOVE Kepa, I truly do.

So young still and so good.

My assessment would be that he wasnt brilliant he was decent who surely improved towards the end... there were many times where his decision making was way off but first season I'm hoping he take the route that De Gea took post his first season at United where his technique was not exactly a GK is coached for ... But fingers crossed. 

On De Gea, he did change that post his first season ... his eye - feet co-ordination was brilliant and he changed that to eye - hand one after 2 season at United. I can imagine his feet tied and the coach asking him to use the hands ... very basic level but very effective.

Surprised no one has mentioned this but he has started both games for Spain in their Euro qualifiers this week. DDG was left on the bench. Massive achievement and deserved. Has had his errors but on the whole has been very good this season and impressed. Shows how underwhelming DDG has been. Massive for him

 Bakayoko (call me insane but I still think, given the right role and coaching he can be a beast, just probably not here.

“Louca varrida” (br-pt) which closely translates to batshit crazy! Funnest sayings in both languages too imo.

honestly put Alonso there and he’s twice the player bakayoko is. Better first touch, passing, just as tall and slow, but can score too. No, he will not win you over, just pointing out how bad bakayoko is.  

kepa’s strong end of season is definitely promising. He’s got potential and I’m happy that he’s definitely at least a good goalie. Whether he will eventually become a great goalie, well that’s still to be decided.

Bakayoko is streets ahead of Alonso in pace.

so that means Madrid will come calling in the future then...

Real can sod off, plus Kepa is Basque and they hate Madrid, he turned them down before.

It's a shame that double save counts for nothing.

His hand man. HIS HAND! Has let 3 penalties squeezed past his hand in penalty shootouts!

lol I'm not saying he's shit. Just find it frustrating. 

Do you think Origi's and Salah's penalties were struck too well for him to save or he should have saved at least one of them?
