'He should be keeping that out': Tim Howard blames Kepa for Man United eqauliser

NBC Sports

, it’s a good looping header. But I must say [if] 

 gets a full hand to the ball, he should be keeping that out," ex-

 goalkeeper Tim Howard said on NBC Sports after 

"He should be steering that around the post, would’ve been a really good save and that is a tight, tight call."

Kepa has become a first-choice keeper under Graham Potter and has largely performed well, not conceding a goal for over 10 hours of playing time before that Casemiro's goal.

Casemiro's shot was a tricky one, and opinions vary over whether the goalkeeper should've saved it. In any case, it was a very bitter end of the game for Kepa who had been on his way to the sixth clean sheet in a row.

Tactical expert breaks down Cucurella sub — Potter had to do it (video)

 drew their crunch tie with Manchester United 1-1. The Blues didn't have the most convincing performance especially in the first half.

The formation changed from a back-three to a back-four and the Blues looked much better in the second half.

The tactical experts at Tifo IRL have broken down why Potter needed to make that change:

'They were building their attacks too easily': Potter explains how making first-half substitution changed the game

 on Saturday with a last gasp equaliser from 

 believes the result was a fair reflection of the game and explained how the first change helped Chelsea get back into the game.

"The first 20 minutes I think Manchester United were better and forced us back," said Potter. "We had to adjust a little bit there, try to get another player into the midfield and put a little bit more pressure on them. They were building their attacks too easily and driving us back.

"The sense of the game was that we were getting overrun a little bit in the midfield, we needed an extra player in there to create a bit more pressure, to stop them building their attacks and therefore making it harder to build ours. So it was just a feeling that I had. It’s not an easy decision to make at all but the boys responded really well and they gave everything.

"So we just had to adjust that and from that point I thought we did well in the game. We’re disappointed of course to concede late but over the course of the game I think a point’s about right for us. I don’t think we can particularly sit here and say we deserved to win.

"We didn’t do enough to win the game I don’t think but effort-wise what the boys put in was amazing, it was fantastic from our players and I’m very proud of them for that."

Kepa Still could have done better he saw the ball Coming 

He could have made a better save

Mgbidi Okeke

No one should blame Kepa for that goal because he do his best by trying to ponch the ball out obviously the ball hit bar .

so I don't see any blame on him

Kosisochukwu Bakayoko

i still believe he could have done better 

he saw the ball Coming

I wonder how people can be so ungrateful!!!

Chibyke Oliver

I Demand the Best of Performance from the team i Support  it's why they are paid heavily one Mistake can be costly 

if you like to settle for less it's your business 

Kepa Did well but that last save he could've done Better

This is where Mendy is better. Take it leave it.

Tim Howard can shove his gloves right up his ass, only ungrateful people talk like that after kepa saving their asses multiple games in a row, why didn't the defence keep out the header and did he notice it was a looping header from the top, there's no way he uses his right ffs

TimRocK

Oh you know that this Tim Howard is just looking for our trouble right,if I go and beat him now you people will say I'm very stubborn but he started first,please you guys should tell him to leave us alone

Ojei Kingsley Samuel

The worst of Kepa is better than the best of Tim Howard. Mr Tim, in your playing days you never saved such a ball. All your days at Manchester United you were their second choice keeper. Therefore, the criticism of Kepa Arizabalaga is too big for your mouth.

Allan Shiny

you are very right but when you are over used you will rust ,not that ,Mendy control defenses than kepa,so it time for him to re arrange himself

Adewale Emmanuel Olatunji

Is Mendy over used or what?What are we paying him for and is not every match him alone is playing.And if so,why are they professional and why complaining when they rested them

Adebowale Adam

Sentiment Aside Mendy would have made that Particular save he is 4 inches taller than Kepa.

Most of u that's using this to indirectly campaign for Mendy u have failed woefully. Because it's either u are an enemy of progress or that u are not a real football lover not even a Chelsea fan that u would think that Mendy would save that ball when he have conceded more cheaper goals than this. for God's sake how many keepers would even touch that as Kepa did let a lone of saving it. Mendy was good at some pointing time but presently no one should even bring him close to Kepa.
