Edouard Mendy

[killer1257 3,282]

I knew he was going to be a star after his first couple of matches that I watched him play as a blue. He got a lot of unnecessary criticism from the fans. Now, he is easily top 5 GK in the world.

If his distribution was better, he'd have no comparison.

On the line and in the air he probably is the best. Also a very brave man. In a game where some Brentford players spend ages on the floor after having been touched by RLC's should, Mendy being hit by a venomous shot in the face just needs a bit of a breather and gets up like a boss to make another world class save. Gives me Edwin van der Sar vibes. Comes to a big club at an advanced footy age but does not kick a fuss about it and just delivers week in week out. Let's hope can carry on just as long.

Awww he got 2nd

I would drop him for Kepa for a couple of games, keep him on his toes. That penalty we conceded was really really poor.

Give him one more game I'd say. He continues to look shaky rotate with Kepa. 

Give him a chance to bounce back.

Was there ever any debate to drop Cech for Turnbull when he had a poor game or two?

We wouldn't have beaten Watford less than four days ago if it wasn't for him.

[Beigl 1,387]

If not for him we wouldn´t be first in the league. He will bounce back for sure.

Its the confidence issue, he clearly is in his head lately, could have cost us points against Utd and against June & Watford too. He needs a bit of rest to clear his head we have a long month ahead we can't have a goal keeper who is lacking confidence in a title race, look what it eventually did to Kepa under Lampard. Tuchel has done a perfect job of it with outfield players like Harvetz, Werner, Chillwell & Cho. He took them out of the firing line & it helped them long term.

He is a good goalie but we need to move on in the future for one that can be so better with the ball at his feet. 

That's if we want to continue to improve and be a more possession based team. Because a possession based team you need a goalie to play from the back.

We aren’t first in the league

he looked dodgy for all goals today but can happen

west ham we’re clinical af and our defence let him down on occasions

Kepa cost us points game per game when he was playing so we should not lose it yet 

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Hopefully he bounces back from whatever this is..he is capeable of being so being so much better. Just dodgy moments again

Fully agree.

Whilst Kepa isnt Turnbull, with the AFCON eventually coming up, I’ve no doubts its too soon to swap Mendy out for Kepa. Obviously come to that hurdle when its in front of us but wouldn’t be in crisis mode yet. Plus Jorginho again basically shafted a GK with a dodgy back pass without fully looking/being aware (although not as near bad as the one he did to Kepa v Arsenal last season) didn’t help for the penalty. No GK wants that back pass. Not sure what to make of the third goal.

He will bounce back, undoubtedly, as he has been consistent in like 95% of the games he’s played this season so far. Or his Chelsea career to make it more accurate.
