Lol, are you for real ? That would be 99,9% if he had not touched it and well he barely even got his hands on it.

I don't remember having Buffon or Neuer on the bench. Just Begovic and Amelia.

begovic was probably better than courtois this season

Plays well but concedes a sloppy goal yet again, like I said days ago typical Courtois this season 

The fact he often plays well but still concedes says more about the defenders than it does about him.

From Miranda and Godin to Ivan and Cahill, I think anyone will be having kittens.

Of course him punching the ball into the middle of the 18-yard box is the fault of our defenders. Couldn't make this stuff up :lol:

I swear you twist things more than defense lawyers taking on hopeless cases.

I was talking in general, not today in isolation.

Nobody's speaking about goals he would have conceded anyway. We're talking about situations which should NEVER result in goals. It started last year with Thiago Silva's header and it's been the case with him throughout this whole season.

Begovic has been superior to him this season, absolutely no doubt about it in my eyes. And Begovic played when we were absolutely hopeless and looked like conceding every time the opposition came forward. Begovic has played less games yet kept more clean sheets and has a "better" concession rate. Statistics don't tell you everything but you can count on one hand the amount of costly errors Begovic has committed this season - the same does not apply for Courtois, who is taking his place for granted, simple as. VERY shaky. 

Bang on! Courtois is taking his place for granted and more important he is on a decline ... I rated Courtois over De Gea after his Madrid loan but in the last 2 years De Gea has just improved to move up among the best (Top 3 ease) while Courtois is been there where he has been...

It is surprising why does Hiddink not play Begovic in few games here and there ... Begovic wasnt bad when given a chance surely made less errors than Courtois ...

That was a massive mistake from him no matter how you dress it up. Yes, he made great saves today but if you are going to push the ball that you should be holding into the path of the opposition then the good saves mean fuck all.

Guus has rotated, he's talk of rotating and without hiding, this is one area he should of rotated in because Tibo of late has not been good enough.

Hit the nail on the head. Just take a look at the number and quality of chances Diouf had in front of goal today. 

Its easy to look at the one goal we conceded and point the finger at Courtois, when in reality the Belgian prevented them from going further than that.

No question our defense has been making life difficult for our keepers...Even Begovic would put in solid peformances for us only to concede because of the barrage of shots coming in from the opposition.

For sure not the best period in his career right now but people are going overboard, it's not like he's done a Torres style decline, he will evevitably hit top form again soon and I said exactly the same with Costa when all in sundry wanted him dropped for Remy.

I don't think people are going overboard. People are concerned because he hasn't been good since he came back from injury. How many more soft goals conceded til you're concerned Tom?

Never liked how he got his starting place here. But I accepted it because he was our future. 

However his performances this season dont justify his place in team one bit.

If he wasnt at goal, we would be conceding 3 goals per game minimum, our defense is shocking at times. But what difference does it make if he keeps all shots but then makes terrible error and we concede anyway. We still dont win and right now its either win or nothing. League 4th is probably lost now unless miracle, while CL and FA will be all about wins and Tibo will have to be consistent for a change.
