Thibaut Courtois

I remember he was compared to De Gea alot. We see where those two stand today.

De Gea had awful defense too but still managed to make brillaint games and save United countless times. Courtois on other hand has only been as good as his defense. When they play well, he does and vice versa. Its been along time since he won us game or gave belief to other players with his saves. Nowdays he is just a passive player in team.

And people said De Gea has more acrobatic saves and he gets alot of attention, while Tibo positions himself better. But thing is Tibo conceded shitload of long range goals he should save if he had great positioning. 

Courtois today is arguably most overrated GK in the world. He was great in atketico and very good in first season here, but it went down ever since.

I know a GK plays better if he has better defence, but a GK must also show he is good individualy and performs when others dons; that he has character and mentality. And Tibo shown very little of that.

Basicaly everytime he looks like he is half asleep during games. If he doesnt want to be here, he can go. But fuck no I wont wait his contract run up, possible replacements move to other clubs, wasting time just so Tibo can make up his mind or wait till Madrid or Barca wants him so he can make his dream move. Hell no.

I think the better question is who do you think should we target who is better that Courtois.

I personally have 0 problem with courtois he is a very good all around GK.

You cannot compare him with De Gea who is the best shot stopper in the world even better than Neuer

Yes but two years ago they were close, now De Gea went up and Tibo down.

I have little against Tibo from performance level althrough he needs to improve. What realy bothers me are his comments about other clubs and countries which is disrespectful. He is Chelsea player and should either say he will stay or that he wont. If he has no commitment and plans to leave us, then I want him gone. 

As for the GKs, right now Oblak is definately better than Tibo and since I know him quite well, a great guy too.

If De Gea and Courtois displays were reversed today the media, United and even some of us would bang on about how this proves he's not even close to the Spaniard.

Hopefully this is a turn around because on form Tibo is untouchable at #1 in the league.

Very good saves from him. Finally contributes to a clean sheet like cech did against Middlesbrough yesterday. 

Hopefully more of this to come. 

Indeed, he played good one time. His performance was equal this week to Cech's performance this week. The rest of the games he plays worse than Cech.

CAN SOMEONE

BUY CECH BACK ASAP?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
