Thibaut Courtois

He might have made a few mistakes here and there, but he's been vital for us.

To be fair, the only mistakes he has made came in the last 2-3 games. Otherwise, he's been massive for us.

I agree. He has been among our best performers this season.

Did what he had to do today, and did it very well. Swept well (good to see the Adam goal didn't affect his confidence in his starting position) - he was his usual commanding self coming out to catch balls.

If I'm being super critical, I thought maybe he should have come to collect that time when Cahill was calling him out and he didn't come, forcing a scrambled clearance, but he was basically faultless otherwise.

Absolutely amazing reflex save against Phillips!

If thibo was an outfield player, I would give him the next armband...

How many games is that now that he's been our MOTM and the major reason why we won or didn't lose a game. He's the difference between us and Arsenal at the moment because without his and Cech's amazing saves this season, we are easily fighting for top 4 instead of running away with the league. It just shows how average we have been defensively and overall as a team for huge portions of the season.

People wanted him dropped.

Splendid performance from him this game. He has great confidence in himself and I think he bounces from mistakes really quickly.

I do think we look a bit nervier with him in goal instead of Cech, but probably cos he isn't so comfortable in marshaling an experienced backline yet since he is new to the team.

Yeah, he has said this before in an interview: "Terry is the big boss of the defenders, so I leave the defensive coaching up to him for the biggest part. As a 22 year old newcomer I can't tell John Terry how he has to run."

Hi. Let's drop Courtois everyone.

[NFF 3]

I have written an article on my blog regarding Courtois' rise to the top, including his competition with Petr Cech.

Have a look at: naturalfootballfan.com , any feedback is much appreciated.

p.s I am not a Chelsea fan, just an admirer of both keepers.

What a wonderful temperament he showed, I didn't think he would have started yesterday, but Mourinho put great faith in him and he repaid his manager in kind. Fantastic performance, well done Thibaut!

Not a word about Courtois being nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award? Strange (even though he's probably not going to win it).

He won't win it. I'll be surprised if does, pleasantly surprised that is, but I can't see it.
