🇧🇪 Thibaut Courtois

Recommended Posts

He looked in complete control with his feet yesterday, no idea why anyone is complaining. There was one breakdown in communication between him and Ivo that nearly sent me into cardiac arrest, but other than that he was quite sensible with what he did.

My gripe was that ridiculous slap straight to the feet of Mertesacker, there was no way on this earth he was going to get through that crowd of players. Joe Hart did that twice on Saturday and it gave Villa two goals, which I absolutely slaughtered him for. Mertesacker should have hit the target at least. Lucky escape.

Guy has no fucking clue how to play the ball with his feet, does he? Neuer and even De Gea are Ronaldinho compared to him in that regard.

Hopefully he improves that part of his game in the coming years..

As for the De Gea comparison to Ronaldinho...I just don't see it at all

Is he injured? How come?

I think it's the hip injury he got against Arsenal when he fell awkwardly after being fouled from a corner. I thought he might actually be replaced when that happened because it looked like a painful fall but he stayed on.

I think it's primarily due to his height...

Thibo is a giant. So, I think we just have to take that portion of his game into improving, but not being anywhere close to either the sweeper keeper or de gea.

He's the first Belgian player ever to win titles in 3 different countries, at the age of 22 :D.

In an interview with him after getting the title:

"I'm very honoured to get titles in 3 different countries at the age of 22. Getting the title with Atlético was something special because Real and Barcelona win every title and it's hard for other teams to come in between them. But in England you have 4 or 5 other teams than can also win the title, so if you win it 4 games before the end, that is a fantastic feeling."

"We have seen it the whole season, when I was injured or simply didn't play, that Petr played fantastic for us. We have worked very well together. And Terry is a very good leader and captain, he really helped us through the season with his experience. He also has had a very good season."

Should we play Courtois in last 3 games and help him to win the Golden Glove award?

How is Mignolet top of that? Jesus.

If it was done by club and not the individual keeper, we'd be miles ahead surely?

I would like to see Cech finish the season. He is a goner in the summer surely so he deserves this send off. In addition, there is no guarantee Tibo would keep the clean sheets.

Here is something I would absolutely love. Petr Cech playing in the final game against Sunderland and Jose takes him off with a minute left. Exactly this happened when he left Rennes for Chelsea and the fans' reaction was brilliant. He deserves it here as well. Is that too much to ask for, is that possible?

Where's the faith mate?? :P
