Looking at the impact of each players so far this season under Maurizio #Sarri
1. KEPA ARRIZABALAGA.
..
The Strengths, Weakness, Saves, History and improvement under Sarri.
..
The rise of Kepa has been massive, considering he was playing in Spanish segunda with teams like Ponferradina & R/Valladolid 3.5years ago. He made the leap to join Chelsea & has been impressive. He's by far the best GK in the league & justifying the price we paid for his services
His Strengths;
- Ball playing GK; he can play the ball short & long with both legs & strong accuracy.
- He's good at penalty saving (although haven't faced one in CFC yet)
- He's always calmed & Composed
- He commands his area with high authority. (Very Vocal)
- Very disciplined.
Chelsea Stats;
- He has played in total 22matches so far;
Goal conceded= 16
- Clean sheets= 12
- He was impressive & rated 7.02 vs Manchester City
- Has two (2) saves per game ratio
*Europa League Stats;
- Played 5, Conceded 1 goal
- 5 saves
- 114/120 passing accuracy (96%)
Considering the price we paid for him, I personally never expected him to be this good early on in his Chelsea career, but credits to guy he has performed excellently well under Sarri's watch & delivered. If he keeps improving like this, he'll soon be among the top 3 GK'S ITW.
