Oh @Jason, where are you? :ph34r:

Seriously, today finalised what I've been saying all along about Courtois. Today isn't the first time he did this, as he was beaten easily many times this season.

:lol: No way I'm gonna defend him tonight. Was shit. In fact, you're kinda right. When was the last time we came away from a game, thinking 'THANK GOD FOR COURTOIS!' or 'Courtois is definitely the MOTM!'?

How many easy goals he lets in that are driven in low is ridiculous on another level. DDG in goal for us and this game is probably 0-0. This is not just a one off game too. He lets in low-driven goals way too easily. Tonight, Van Aanholt's goal on Saturday. This has been happening past few seasons. Top keeper but his technical ability and being beaten with low driven efforts and nutmegs need to improve.

I actually gave you the "like" but had to take it away when I read "top keeper". He's not.

Courtois has been living off his Atletico reputation for too long now. Tonight he got exposed on the biggest stage of football.

Seems to me that Courtois is good at stopping shots from distance but when it comes to saving from close range, he can be found wanting...quite easily in fact.

Their style helped enhance it as well. I can't think of a game other than away to Arsenal in Jan, where he's done anything of note.

I'm sure Willy will take his play at the weekend and hopefully longer.

Stopping shots from distance is a minimum requirement for goalkeepers though. If you can't stop those shots on a regular basis you aren't even an average keeper, so I can't praise Courtois for that, really.
