Yeah, breath of fresh air after Kepa. However, with the ball at his feet he gives me a panic attack virtually every time.

Great keeper, made a very important save today. He might not the best sweeper, but he is a very good shot stopper which is enough for me.

Just like Cech and Snake used to be for us. Both were not great sweeper keepers

[Milan 17,835]

That fingertip save was something else, top quality. And a typical example of a shot that Kepa with his short hands would concede.

[Magic Lamps 11,446]

could have been even worse without him today. couple of good saves and a really world class one.

Mendy vs recent first choice keepers in their first season:

Cech - 28 clean sheets in 48 games
Courtois - 16 in 39
Kepa - 23 in 54
Mendy - 19 in 31 ***

[Milan 17,835]

TT keeps his formation and play and we are attacking our very own defensive record from 2004-05 😄

[Milan 17,835]

More clean sheets for Chelsea than goals conceded at Chelsea 😄

Cech and Lollichon. Frank has nothing to do with Mendy.

[Special Juan 27,093]

Can't fault him he's done well, but he is tragic with the ball at his feet. People keep craving a CB and CF but we need a top class keeper.

Mendy is living proof that popularity and trends matter in football. If a 22 year old twink had the record he has he'd be hero worshipped but because Edou did it the unfashionable way, came from an unfashionable club and was cheap he's not going to get the credit he deserves regardless of what he does.

And most of those games he failed to get clean sheets was in the period the whole team collapsed.

Pre collapse Lampard and Tuchel his record reads 23 games 17 clean sheets 6 goals conceded.

not quite true. Cech was opposed to buying a new keeper in the first place and actually wanted Kepa to be given another chance. When the board granted Lampard his wish to bring a new keeper, Cech and Lollichon did a great job and scouting Mendy tho

Frank had the sense not to oppose the advice of those two. In fact he enthusiastically embraced it.

We do not know for sure how the responsibility for transfers breaks down inside the club so we do not know whether Frank would have been able to veto the move for Edu even if he had wanted to. The tale which emerged is that Frank identified the need for a new keeper, which is clear enough from his selections, and that he gave the task of identifying the target to Petr who then involved Christoph. That all sounds exactly the right way to go about things.

What we do know is that if Frank did not support the signing he could simply have selected a different keeper but he immediately installed Edu as the starter. There are many facets to leadership. How, when, and to whom to delegate is among them. Knowing which decisions to make yourself, and in which you should defer to others, is high on the list. Frank handled this correctly and should be praised for it.
