Not that his Argentine replacement was much better in the five league starts he did play.In those games, Caballero's shots-on-target save percentage was only marginally better than Kepa's at 56.3 per cent.It is undoubtedly a small sample size to judge the 38-year-old on but.Chelsea had hoped to find a buyer for their under-fire keeper this summer but have found it impossible to move him on and Lampard has had to try and implement him back into the side.And following further mistakes Lampard decided to replace him with veteran Willy Caballero,But following the Liverpool result, statistician Duncan Alexander said Kepa has now.While they have had limited success shifting a goalkeeper out, it appears Chelsea's luck is in with trying to bring one in after they finally agreed a five-year deal worth £26m for Rennes' Edouard Mendy after weeks of negotiations.But while figures continue to float around as to the Blues' lavish summer spending this year, it appears it will be somewhat counteracted with the lingering reminder that their £72m purchase two years ago has not only spectacularly under-performed but is now a much-maligned figure at the club.While they have failed to move Kepa in they are set to bring a keeper in in Edouard Mendy.After building success during the club's most fruitful period at the club on the likes of Petr Cech, Kepa not only represents a far cry from Chelsea's current technical director but as a player who has never and will never be cut out for the Premier League.But based on the discernible lack of progression despite still having years ahead of him as a goalkeeper, there is a genuine worry he could become one of the league's worst-ever imports.The debate would throw up countless amount of names in a variety of positions, but at the moment it is difficult to predict just how and what form Kepa can restore the image of a confident keeper who would enjoy years of success with club and country.And if that plays out if and when his time in England comes to an end, his name will not be too far from such deprecating discussions.Chelsea have built success on the likes of Petr Cech but Kepa cannot provide his consistency.The comments below have not been moderated.The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.Do you want to automatically post your MailOnline comments to your Facebook Timeline?Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usual.Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usual.We will automatically post your comment and a link to the news story to your Facebook timeline at the same time it is posted on MailOnline.

'.Of course that shocking moment could have been come beforehand to save him that embarrassment, but the incident that brought the red card for Andreas Christensen would only have highlighted a growing lack of judgement.It appeared Mane would have got to Jordan Henderson's lofted pass first, and had the centre back not hauled him down, there is a chance Kepa would have fouled him and been dismissed himself.Kepa has made two errors already this season after letting in Leandro Trossard's long-ranger,He is far cry from the bullish player that refused to come off during the 2019 League Cup final.But while Sunday's eventual error could prove to be the final nail in the coffin for Kepa as a regular member of Chelsea's squad, the problem has been brewing for some time now.Frank Lampard's additions of Ben Chilwell and veteran Thiago Silva have been made with a clear intention to fix a leaky defence that had conceded 79 goals across all competitions in 2019-20.Their Premier League goals conceded tally came to 54 in the last campaign, more than 10 other top-flight sides and Brighton - who finished in 15th place -  as the west London side recorded their worst defensive record for more than 20 years.But while Chelsea appear vulnerable at set plays and on the counter-attack which would leave most top-class goalkeepers exposed, Kepa's figures make for equally grim reading.The problem with Kepa has been running since last season when he conceded some 47 goals.Last season, Kepa saved only 54.5 per cent of shots on target, the lowest figure for any regular Premier League goalkeeper over a full season since records began to be collated in 2003-04.Of the 47 goals that he let past him last season, he stood motionless for 14 of them, which equates to 30 per cent of the goals he conceded.There were no signs of such a dramatic implosion in his first season at Stamford Bridge, with his shots-on-target save percentage 67.5 per cent, very similar to the 68.2 per cent he recorded over two seasons in LaLiga at Athletic Bilbao.But 2019-20 saw a personal collapse of inconceivable proportions as he made numerous mistakes, including in Champions League fixtures against Ajax and Valencia as well as domestically against Newcastle and Arsenal.He let in goals at key moments, such as Newcastle's Isaac Hayden winner in stoppage time.And it was after that thrilling 2-2 draw to the 10-man Gunners that Lampard decided to pull the trigger and replace Kepa in the line-up with No 2 Willy Caballero in early February.
