CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I had the impression DeGea has the best stats among keepers this season. His performance against us in the second league game was better than anything Cech managed to do for us in the big games.The games against us where his only decent performances all season. In other matches he had been catastrophic. Every time the ball is in the air, he will have trouble dealing with it. You can imagine how that worked out against the likes of Stoke and Blackburn.

Tomo 21,751 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I had the impression DeGea has the best stats among keepers this season. David Luiz stats are the best for a defender but it doesn't seem to stop the media, opposition fans and even some of our own saying he's shit.

His big question mark is decisiveness in corners and allowing himself to be crowded out by the opposition in his own box, though I'd lay the blame there upon Evans and Ferdinand & co.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Sorry but I pick Cech anytime over degea. He could be reason why united fall from eu competitions so quick...And we have Courtois, who has even better statistics than degea last season.

Jack Uzzi 54 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Not all Atletico supporters are entirely satisfied with him. Doubts are especially expressed about his agility, as many believe he is rather slow and about his reflexes. Maybe the disappointment is fueled a lot by the recent defeat against Real, but still, it is not impossible that reports on Courtois have been a bit too positive.Colchonera thread on Courtois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I notice Thibaut is 3rd in the Zamora Trophy (the Golden Glove)! Beaten only by Casillas and Valdes. That's quite brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that's true, but it's not impossible. He did have a very good season, establishing himself as a first choice at Atletico. But the fact that he's not really fast is true I think and overall it remains to be seen how he will evolve. He really seems like a copy of Van der Sar in many ways, so yes, reasons enough to be optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 BIg game for Courtois tonight in the Europa League SF against Valencia. Good luck to him. Would be great for him to win a European trophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Freak 456 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 BIg game for Courtois tonight in the Europa League SF against Valencia. Good luck to him. Would be great for him to win a European trophy.4-2 win for Atletico. Courtois is 90 minutes away from the Europa League final. We should of signed Falcao, whatta player.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I want Bilbao to win because they are the team I have started looking out for in Spain, but I'd love Madrid to win it because of Courtois...Either way it will be interesting to see one of my favourite attacking sides going up against our future goalkeeping genius.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Battle of the strikers, Falcao v. Llorente!I think Madrid will win it because of their attacking power, Diego, Turan, Adrian, Falcao. They do have an exploitable defence though, even with Courtois between the posts. Bilbao have a better structure though, so they will of course be more disciplined. They also have home advantage because Real Madrid decided to get spiteful and refused to allow the final to be played the Bernabau. So now it's to be played at Athletic's home ground.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 ^^I actually think that Madrid will it because their defense is much better. I have watched a few of their matches this season and at times they have been able to completely nullify the opponents attacks. In one match, their oppsosition only managed a single shot on goal all game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
