Fans slam 'overrated' Mendy, want Kepa back as Chelsea's first choice
Fans have hit out at Edouard Mendy for his uninspiring performance in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday evening.
Making his 31st league appearance in the 2021-22 campaign, the Senegal international conceded two goals as Tony Roberts’ men recovered from a two-goal deficit to pick up a point at Stamford Bridge.
Mendy has now conceded 17 goals since the start of April 2022, a stat that enthusiasts are not happy with as they labelled the former Rennes goalie as overrated.
Mendy used his white towel to fraud the whole Chelsea fanbase into believing he’s prime Ter Stegen not knowing he’s just Fatau Dauda LTE.😭

Mendy intentionally conceded 2 goals just to steal Lukaku’s hype.

Eduardo Mendy has never been the same ever since Chelsea fans called the Balon Dor fake and also compared him to Donnarumma. Mendy is average😣

Mendy is overrated sha. He should be stopping that first Wolves goal. He had a clear view of the ball and the ball wasn't so far off from him. He just froze

Not sure what's the problem with Mendy, he looks very poor of late.
— ExpectedChelsea (@ExpectedChelsea) May 7, 2022
He's not preventing dangerous situations like he used to and is making direct errors to make it worse. His calmness has been replaced by nerves.
The way Mendy dey drink goals now.

He don dey work for water corporations 😂
Mendy was signed from Ligue 1 outfit Rennes as the Blues sought to find greater stability between the sticks due to Kepa Arrizabalaga’s blunders.
As things stand, 13 of the last 15 goals Chelsea have conceded in the Premier League have come in the second half of matches and the Senegal star was the man in goal on those occasions.
However, some feel the Spain international should be given the nod in goal ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations winner to halt this poor form.
Lol I miss Kepa maybe he might bring back CS.

Liverpool will feast on this our defense. I hope kepa sha starts. Mendy is back to being average, i guess
— _playmaker_ (@morganaliticus) May 7, 2022
I honestly want Kepa back

World best goalkeeper? I think we had the the worlds best defense before injuries had to expose our goaliee. Bring Kepa back!!!!!!!!
— Victor Jnr (@4ckjeezy) May 7, 2022
Give Kepa Arrizabalaga his number 1 spot back #cfc
— Kobina (@Cobbe_jr) May 7, 2022
I didn't want to say this but I think @kepa_46 Arrizabalaga should start all the remaining matches for Chelsea.#CheWol

Thomas Tuchel has never been fair to Kepa. Even these days that Mendy has dipped in form he’s never rested him. Not even 1 game for Kepa after the last international break. That’s sad

Chelsea failed to win a Premier League game in which they were two or more goals ahead for the first time since October 2020 vs Southampton (3-3), having won 24 consecutive such matches prior to Saturday's match.
Thomas Tuchel's men would be eyeing a return to winning ways when they square up against Leeds United on May 11 at Elland Road.
Should Chelsea now start Kepa ahead of Mendy? Share with us in the comments.
