“If you analyse the great goalkeepers in the Premier League, the likes of Schmeichel, Cech, Courtois, Lehmann, Seaman, Ederson, Allison, have all been Champions,” former Blue Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told GentingBet.
“Analyse them – there are always moments in that team, that the goalkeeper has to make an incredible save or has to save his team. I’ve not seen that from Kepa.
“I have not seen that at all in the last two years even when Maurizio Sarri was at Chelsea. And certain goals that have gone in, he should have done much better.
“If you want to progress, you need a goalkeeper who can concentrate and is going to pull off one or two very important saves every five or six games.
“He won’t have a lot to do but when he has got something to do, he has to be there to make the difference. And I’ve not seen enough of that from Kepa.”
Statistically, Kepa was the worst keeper in the Premier League last season and it has been reported that Frank Lampard has lost faith in him to be the team's first-choice goalkeeper.
Hasselbaink is correct in his analysis - a good goalkeeper can make all the difference in the world, and no one knows that better than Chelsea fans who have seen Cech guard our goal brilliantly for a good decade.
