Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Big Ed must have thought the same thing as we all did. Why? Just why? Ed is capable of the sublime as demonstrated today. Kepa is not. So why risk it? Even if Kepa does not have his usual howlers anymore,he still is not a great. Kepa never was a good shot stopper so why risk it vs one of the better distance shooters in the league. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer1257 3,282 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Mendy injured and has big pain in his ribs. With Kepa, we will never win the CL Edited May 23, 2021 by killer1257 Beigl and robsblubot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 He looked ok when moving about after being subbed, but it’s difficult to say. hopefully just a knock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kepa, we will never win the CL Never underestimate the irony 😄 Kepa plays, produces an absolute masterclass and we sell him for a nice cash lol. On a serious note - yeah, all City would need to do is shoot from distance and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool's Alisson Becker, who scored a crucial goal in the run-in, was fourth with 13.8% of the votes, while Kasper Schmeichel earned 8.4%. PREMIER LEAGUE GOALKEEPER OF THE SEASON RESULTS 1. Edouard Mendy (Chelsea) - 29.3% 2. Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa) - 24.6% 3. Ederson (Manchester City) - 24% 4. Alisson Becker (Liverpool) - 13.8% 5.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Mendy kept nine clean sheets in 12 games in this season's Champions League - no keeper has ever kept more in a single campaign in the competition (level with Santiago Canizares for Valencia in 2000-01 and Keylor Navas for Real Madrid in 2015-16).

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 His is one of the most touching stories here. 6 years ago he was living off jobless' allowance and now he is a Champions League winner. No wonder he was so moved. I was too. When he laid down on the ground covering his eyes. And how gracefully he first touched that trophy. Absolute chills.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Don’t get me wrong he is a good GK, but man during that Arsenal game when Arsenal were high pressing you could see how a better Passing GK would have bypassed it.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 One of the best performances i have seen from a Chelsea keeper for years. Probably outperformed his xG conceded by 2 or so today. That stop from watkins and the double save were amazing. a couple of other very smart stops on top of that. All hail Big Ed. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
