Leif 6,006 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 In intense Derbies like this or rivalries in general I believe teams shouldn't switch sides at half-time. The away side should play on the side of the away fans for the whole match. I say this because Courtois can be literally stranded in front of abusive Real Madrid fans for half a game and have loads of stuff thrown at him while play is happening up-field, as could any other keeper.Someone submit this to the FA or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goemaere 131 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Stop pointscoring. Everyone knows how good he is. No one is saying he was shit. You made a comparison stating he was better than Cech so people questioned that. They are both quality keepers.oh really did I? could you quote me saying that?

Stats 7,145 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Look up Gent- standard the final match of the belgium jupiler pro league. WInner took it all, titel, champions league. Motm: Courtois Worldsaves: 4I'm not saying anything disrespectful against cech, I love him. (no homo) but the point is none of you have seen as many matches of both goalkeepers as i did. And, mark my words, within 20 months courtois will be the better keeper. Courtois experience is underrated: 2 years spanish league (this year best goal keeper), euro league final, champions league,, belgium titel, cup etc I agree he is a quality keeper but to say he will be the better keeper is a bit rash. Because Cech is a world class keeper. Courtois is getting better but Cech is not declining. He pulls of saves you can't imagine. His save from Hernandez was one of the best saves I seen. I don't think there is much between them. Like I know you are saying Courtois will be better because he is younger but for a keeper Cech is still very young and still is a key player.If I was Courtois and chelsea proposed to me to play in a bottom 5 team in the PL, after winning the best keeper in la liga award, qualifying for the CL and winning the Europa league I'd politly tell them to fuck off and enforce a transfer to FC barcelona who are more than intrested. But, I like your point here though. Well said. Don't think I am having a go at you for your praise of him but if you saw us over the season, Cech has bailed us out so many times and is the main reason we are the UCL holders.

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Courtois was superb against Real, can't count how many super saves he did, especially the one against Özil where Di Maria did a wonderpass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goemaere 131 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Post 1234.Am i missing a joke here ?"That lighter could have killed him"I said within 20 months. That's in 2 seasons. I never stated Courtois is better than cech at this moment, If i did that i would ridicule myself.Anyway, I'm glad we can have this discussion, just means how lucky we are to have both cech and courtois.

I never stated Courtois is better than cech at this moment, If i did that i would ridicule myself.Wrong post. I meant 1161 I think it was. OK my bad but my point is if they had similar abiliites and were outfield players then it would be fair to say Courtois will be better. But as keepers, Cech still will probably be world class for another decade or near that while Courtois will keep improving himself. That is why I think it would be unfair to say he will be better than Cech. No doubt I hope he is our no.1 one day though. Goemaere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YVT 15 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 No one is saying Courtois doesn't have it in him. What you're saying is that he's better than Cech now which isn't true, even though he is playing very, very well tonight.The only thing where Cech is scoring higher on is in terms of age, at this moment. Where Courtois is only getting better, Cech isn't.(Certainly not saying he isn't good enough for Chelsea, just comparing both) The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
