Will #Potter make #Kepa his number 1?
Most accept #Mendy is the superior shot stopper & shot preventer so the argument is about distributing
We @goalkeeper_com find in recent games #Mendy has been the better passer while both GKs have been equally error prone on the ball!

When receiving the ball under pressure, both #Chelsea GKs have been below the #PremierLeague standard!
#Mendy has cost #CFC 0.52 xG more than the avg #PL GK would be expected to if they received the ball in the same situations (this is heavily influenced by his mistake vs Leeds)
#Mendy has cost #CFC 0.52 xG more than the avg #PL GK would be expected to if they received the ball in the same situations (this is heavily influenced by his mistake vs Leeds)
Similarly #Kepa has cost #CFC 0.59 xG more than the avg #PL GK would be expected to if they received the ball in the same situations as he did in his last 15 #PremierLeague games, #Kepa’s numbers here are heavily influenced by his mistake vs #Liverpool which #Mane capitalised on!
As mentioned in the first tweet #Mendy has been the superior passer when it comes to distributions under no pressure & this is driven by #Kepa’s poor pass accuracy when aiming just inside in the opposition half & the fact #Kepa more frequently gives the ball away in his own half!
If you are interested in a full analysis of the #Kepa & #Mendy situation please check out this article I wrote for @goalkeeper_com which also discusses the possibility of #Chelsea going back into the goalkeeper transfer market
