Someone pointed how Kepa has the
terrible tendency to swing his arms back when he's facing a shot, which he said impacts his reaction time, and gives him less purchase on the ball, if he does manage to get his hand on it.
I went back and watched the goals we conceded at the weekend, and lo and behold, he does it every single time. I'm no expert on a GK's body position, so I don't *actually* know if it negatively impacts his ability to save a shot but it's quite a peculiar habit. Once you see it you can't unsee it. He does it every time.
It doesn't negate the catalogue of defensive errors that led to all of the goals, but I just meant generally speaking , our xGa suggests over the course of the season we have played pretty well defensively. Yet we have conceded 49 goals, so what gives?
Again not to derail the thread too much. I'm happy to continue the conversation over in the Chelsea thread
