It happens even to the best goalies. Manuel Neuer had quite a few very costly errors vs Real madrid and Liverpool in the last 5 years in the CL as well.

the timing could not have been more unfortunate ofc. He has never been good with his feet but been decent enough for 90% of games. Now he has had his confidence shot maybe so that percentage goes down a bit. I do not see him improving this, given he is 30. But it also means we should keep our eyes open for a long term successor in the coming years if we want to continue playing a system that plays out from the back.

I think it's beyond an error where Mendy is concerned. His ability with the ball is atrocious, and he's keen to hold onto the ball for far too long. 

Whether we like it or not, we have to take the good with the bad.

Drop him for Kepa.

Serious.

Mendy is the better keeper but he is playing below par.

Another shit performance. Not good enough.

Harsh words for player who was least guilty today.
I would maybe understand if you said this for Mount or Havertz. Or Azpli or Jorginho...

He is not on level from before, but we have way bigger problems from  GK

Send them all to spec savers! Is this a football club or a cattery? Because all I see is a bunch of pussy!

For the bad goal he did give up against Leicester, he saved a bunch. There were at least two or three chances Leicester had afterwards that should have been goals that he stopped. 

I don't think he is to blame for the first goal against Southampton today either. 

I understand blame is being throw everywhere at this point, and no, he hasn't been great, but he isn't the problem. He has absolutely no support from his outfield players at the moment.

time for a new contract.

he needs to start catching the balls more and stop this shambolic punching and pushing aside

Was watching the behind the scenes training footage on Chelsea official YouTube, in the training session it showed the punching drills for corners. He's actually very good at it not under pressure lol.

lol

if not under pressure I could even punch some away

I have some hops for a girl 🤣

I can touch a basketball rim (it helps being 6 feet tall with pretty long arms)

He lacks some agility to compensate for his size, but we all knew this from very first day. Can't really blame him today, as first he was effed up by our own defenders in some crazy judo shitshow and second time by our very own Jorghi. At least he was sober enough to play 10x more dead than he actually was when kicked by Bowen. 

However due to way we defend (or play in general), fans who are easy to sink players in shit and mistakes he made I'm afraid he is going the very same road to loosing any confidence that Kepa did.

Will be interesting to see if we overpay Mendy with the new contract.  It's quite obvious that his biggest weaknesses are:

- Rushing out of goal

- Poor with the ball at his feet (can't deal with any sort of pressure)

- His general command of the defense in set piece situations

[Clockwork 1,794]

I think Kepa will benefit a lot under Potter, no way Potter will tolerate a keeper like Mendy who is so poor on the ball and building from the back.

Kepa just needs to be solid.
