I like Tibo and I don't give a damn about what he says in the media. But this video is just not relevant for me at all. These are three normal saves, nothing spectaculor for a top GK. If any of these poor shots whould've went in, then it would've been his fault. It's normal to save this kind of crap shots, tbh. 

And as a GK coach I'll tell you a triple save of any variety is a bigger achievement than a striker bagging a hat-trick...

There's always the chance that Courtois does a WWF-style move in the 90th minute of the second leg. Score is 0-0, extra time is looming, Torres takes a shot from 12 yards which eventually reaches Cour

He nailed that penalty like it was De Bruyne's bird.

Thats horse shit mate. Scoring a hate trick against Barca is a bigger achievement than a triple save against Villa.

And a triple save against Bayern Munich is better than a hat-trick against MK Dons. What's your point?

The way you stated your initial post it sounded like an absolute. Which I've proved isn't the case.

I don't agree. 

I am not saying that what Courtois did there is not something good, but it's not THAT good. It just proves that he has agility. But the saves themselves were not too spectacular, as the shots were really really poor.

It isn't an absolute. It's my opinion.

 

I can't be bothered going through all the technical details, but to get back into a set position to make a second and then a third save is mightily impressive - to then actually make those saves is outstanding.

One goal vs Barca is a bigger achievement than six against York, doesn't mean one goal is better than six in general.

None of the goals were his fault.

He actually made a couple of good saves.

3 out of the 4 defenders that started the game were squad players as Kompany, Vertonghen and Alderweireldt were all injured.

So stop being a bunch of whiny cunts.

But but but....he prefers to play with the Belgian defence, he didn't state which defenders. The only cunt is the one in goal for Chelsea and Belgian.
