Conceded 1 goal in 3 games. Tiny sample size I know. But gotta be a good sign of things to come.

And if my theory of us not actually being as bad as we all think defensively and it's just individual errors caused from panic and confusion on top of a shit keeper costing us goals then we may start to see that in actual results. But we won't know til we get a big run of games and can see over a larger sample size.

As lamps said we give up very few shots relatively speaking in comparison to the rest of the league barring the top 2.

Maybe but I still think its easy to see we arent that organised and purely blaming it on the GK isn’t necessarily correct. 

A good bit of them he who shall not be named should have done better perhaps but your not going to sit and say that the team doesn’t have its shortcomings defensively or the in game management and tactics hasn’t contributed at all either in moments either, surely not? Same last season. The in game management was more of a contribution to how the game went v Southampton the mistakes from Zouma and Kepa for that second goal. Even Danny Ings goal what are Christensen and Zouma doing? There’s countless games you can use from last season for the argument its more than just one person why our defensive record is so bad. Most goals teams conceded from open play they more than likely have more than one opportunity to prevent the chance from being created, not just necessarily due to individuals making a mistake like Zouma did or he who shall not be named again.

We lose the match without him in goal. Great performance

Mendy is really one of few players who can't afford to get injured (or miss games basically) until we get another reliable GK as his backup!

How many GKs will we have to buy lol. I am tired of buying GKs. I am 100% sure that we have a youth GK that is good enough as a BU.

What youth goalkeeper then?

honestly look at Foster in January he would be a solid short term backup.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

One dodgy moment but apart from that...I really hope he carries on this form! Dont feel quite so panicky! Makes a change

His rise to the top is so impressive. Glad that we have such a motivated guy as a goalkeeper. It seems like he still has a lot of room to grow, and maybe being at a top club is the last step he needs to catapult himself as a world class goalkeeper. 3 clean sheets in 4 games is a fantastic start and I hope we can continue to rely on him for the rest of the season.

Been brilliant so far, it's odd seeing difficult shots being actually saved. Hope he keeps it up.

we are so used to having a shit goalies, that a good but not worldclass showing from a good but not (yet) world class goalie gets usover the moon.

That being said, the decision to go for him over a more flashy, younger gk likeOnanan or that guy from Lille looks smarter by the day. Mendy just looks like he cant be fuzzed, he seems a mentally very strong and stable guy. He scolds zouma and the other defenders when they fuck sth up but he doesnt go crazy or hides in a shelllike Kepa does.He also wasnt affected by his strange howler with thatleft footed pass. He might be the perfect mid-term goalie signing. Long may he stay healthy.

Saves yesterday apart from the last one should be expected from any goalie, yet we would have lost 2-0 with kepa in goal.For that alne Mendy deserves the praise he gets.

Proper scouting job by Lollichon and looks a smart pick-up in today's GK market. Everyone praising that save at the end but the save from Rashford earlier in the first half was also equally good. He was out of his line and cutting out the angle
