I’ve seen this describe as a wonder save but it’s a decision making error followed by a good recovery
My 1v1 model predicts this to be scored 2% of the time if the GK holds deep while if the GK rushes, like #Mendy, it is scored 64% of the time
He made it way harder for himself!

I think #Mendy is a top GK by the way & he’s made many great saves this season but just because a GK is good doesn’t mean we should praise them regardless of how good their goalkeeping actually is!

If anything this save should actually worry #Chelsea fans a bit as it is reminiscent of an issue #Mendy had last year when he gave away soft goals vs #LUFC & #EFC
Hopefully for #CFC fans it was a 1 off bad decision & it won’t happen again unlike in the middle part of last year.

Another thing that maybe I didn’t emphasise enough is that as a GK a really crucial skill, which isn’t discussed enough, is the ability to decrease the opposition’s chance quality by your positioning.
Decision making & positioning are so vital & often make saves far far easier!
