Pizy 18,953 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 The thing with Kepa is that he’s simply average. He’s not so bad that it’s a complete disaster if he’s our #1 for another season but at the same time it’s very anticlimactic because we could do much better. Seeing several of our rivals with keepers who can create goals from the keeper position and literally win them points whilst also being superb shot stoppers. Meanwhile, Kepa is extremely hit or miss with the ball on top of having severe weaknesses in specific scenarios like corners, crosses, and general command of his area.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I have seen this lineup on twitter and many Chelsea fans think it is good enough, some here may also believe that. Jackson Mudriyk/Sterling…….Nkunku——Madueke Eno——Caicedo Chilly—-Colwill——-Silva——James Kepa This imo is not good enough, especially in attack way too many unknowns. Jackson, Mudriyk, and Madueke they have potential but at this point that is way too risky to think they will all come good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotten over the lowest of the lows and while he is by no means great, last season he also wasn't even half as bad as some are making him out to be. We're never going to win the title or anything significant with Kepa between the sticks but that's hardly going to be our level next season anyway and Kepa on last season's form is IMO good enough for a team challenging for the European places. He actually had some games where he made a lot of saves. Obviously can be upgraded on but he isn’t like Karius was at Liverpool when they upgraded to Alisson. CF and CM should be priority. After that then maybe a Thiago Silva long term replacement and a GK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Wouldn't Colwill technically be Silva's heir? I'd say a DM and a CM are the only priorities imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,953 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Yeah, that was kinda cringe and a bit concerning, huh? Don’t know if it’s because he set roots down in Brighton and wants to stay there or he’s had his head turned by someone else. Up to Poch and the club to convince him about his place here.

Also for him to get the chance to learn and play alongside one of the best still around is something that one shouldn't pass up on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that I don’t see any other team investing/who invested the money we did, rightly or wrongly, ambition is ambition, and we’re honing in on translating that in alot of areas of the club. Will it be overnight? No, but go play for Brighton or someone else and I’d be confident in a few years we’ll look back at this blip, won’t we Mason.

I respect his talent, but this is another Mount story in the making - people loosing their shit over him, calling him "future captain" and biggest Chelsea talent, while he himself can't be bothered much and is sending signals since like 7 months he is one foot in freaking Brighton lol. I can somewhat understand he needs to be careful with his career at this stage and this is mostly the question of reassurance and level of trust that Clearlake season 2 feat. Poch is generating in players of all things. Hell, I can't even say how trustworthy it is to me and I am no one. And yeah, he may need to earn his spot, but not like we do not have history of freezing out players for months because f***k them, like Tomori, Mendy, DDA, or Chucka, who barely licked the pitch. We had all the possibilities to give players chance to impress under Lamps 2.0, yet we didn't, so I doubt Poch will be more likely to take risks when starting clean slate.

Mário César 1,283 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I don't know what to think about the lewill situation. I understand he is focused on his career, but he will have a place in the squad next year and Chelsea is much bigger than brighton. I don't understand your doubts honestly it's clear he won't have his rightful place, but this goes for any player in the squad. he has to show he deserves to play. if you are afraid of competitiveness...

He wasn't even a starter for Brighton, he doesn't want to stay not because of fighting for a starting place but because he doesn't believe shit in this project and because last year when he wanted to stay and fight for his place we almost binned him completely.

That’s the vibe I get too. He probably thought he was ready for Chelsea last summer but we tossed him to Brighton as a favor to Brighton for Cucu. He then went on to have a very successful campaign there and is probably settled. At least I hope that’s all it is. Because with a new manager his situation can be improved. If this is another Mount situation and he’s had whispers in his ear from another massive team (Klopp at Liverpool in this case) then this can be a big problem.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 let’s not read too much into one clip. Does not look enticing but he might just be annoyed at being filmed or whatever. What counts most is how committed he is on the pitch. If our project becomes successful a lot of doubt will be evaporate. Still would obviously prefer if Noni had not even seen the need to get this commitment out of Levi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,283 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 he is only 20 years old best thing would be to renew for at least one more year and see how things go if he is sold now, i can see him being sold in two or three seasons to united, liverpool or city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
