No, Courtois didn't have a better season than De Gea... Courtois had a decent season, saved us several points but he hasn't hit the level he had at Atletico yet.

Also, you're the one overreacting all the time. As soon as someone says anything remotely negative about KDB or Courtois you're there to tell them they're wrong; just stahp

De Gea has played well against Crystal Palace and against Man City, all his other games were shit the last 3.5 months. But still, he stays god and nobody wants to talk about all the bad mistakes he has made the last months. Courtois makes a little one, and the media and fans wake up. You have to admit that there is something very wrong with that at the least.

There's always the chance that Courtois does a WWF-style move in the 90th minute of the second leg. Score is 0-0, extra time is looming, Torres takes a shot from 12 yards which eventually reaches Cour

He nailed that penalty like it was De Bruyne's bird.

When I rewatched the save of the 1v1 I noticed he seems to get low to the ground so quickly, and I mean this in a good way Just watch Scznenzyzne-thingy against Naismith yesterday When he gets in t

The media adores United and hates Chelsea, it's the way it is and the way we like it

Go take a look to how the fans reacted to DDG's first season at United...

I think his first part of the season until 31st January was brilliant, magnificent for newcomer. Collecting every long balls, corners were not danger at all, saving crucial situations and not letting goals that HE MAY done better. 9.8/10

Later on he dropped his performance literally to Cech level, not so assured with collecting long balls, conceding goals that HE MAY done better because he has hands on the ball all the time. Very much Cech-like I have to say. Still high level though. 8.5/10

When I watch it, literally the second half goals he conceded yesterday were so CECH :) I've seen this time and time again here. I hope he comes back to his highest level.

I'm talking about this season, this season he can kick 5 balls straight in his own goal and the fans and media will still cheer for him and sing his name. His first season he got treated unfairly, this season also but in the other direction.

Because he's built up his reputation. Give Tibo some time and he'll get the same.

He's playing bad for a very long time now. It's okay that they keep supporting him, but it's not only that, he stays the best goalkeeper in the world and nobody can touch him. That is very ridiculous, Courtois and Neuer are certainly better than him. Luckily every ex-goalkeeper confirms that, but the media and fans don't do that.

Watched the recap of the game again, he played a good game Alex. That first save was an excellent one, the rest of his saves were 'normal'. The penalty was a penalty and the third goal was a surprising shot in the corner and very very hard, don't know if you can blame him anything for that.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

But as a goalkeeper coach, if one of my 8 year olds were beaten at the front post so easily I'd rip them a new one... let alone a Premier League goalkeeper. Very disappointing. Cech let in a poor shot at his near post vs PSG last season and got his criticism for it; Courtois deserves to be similarly reprimanded for two poor goals he ought to have stopped having gotten a hand to each.

The shot was at 100km/h, I doubt that 8 year olds shoot that hard. But we disagree on this one indeed ;)

When the opposing teams have a go from distance I don't quite feel safe with Courtois, I think he is much better from close range. With Cech I feel it's the other way around, so they both have their flaws. Cech is overall the better goalkeeper at the moment though, no question.

Adriana? Is his SO Iberian?

It took me half an hour to find out what SO meant :)...

But yes, his SO is Spanish. Born on Tenerife, she studied in Madrid.

Tibo met her for the first time in a Hollister shop in a shopping mall the north of Madrid where she worked as a saleswoman.

I guess she felt for his big hands :)

Buffon:

"My favourite goalkeeper now? I think Neuer is a very good goalkeeper, Joe Hart is also good. But the young goalkeeper that I like the most, that is the Belgian one, Thibaut Courtois. I really love watching him play."

Never heard an ex-goalkeeper or goalkeeper that answered De Gea. All the legends and top goalkeepers now say Courtois. Even Schmeichel said 1. Neuer 2. Courtois this season without mentioning another goalkeeper. De Gea is so overrated and Courtois so underrated. Only the legends and current goalkeepers know he is a class above De Gea :D.

Even Gary Neville said this winter that he thought Courtois was the best player in England this season, De Gea must be pissed if he reads the truth in interviews :D.

De Gea will be at RM within the next month or so.

There he can be vastly over-rated 1 week and then crucified the next. And that's by his own fans.

Tibo is the 2nd best GK in the world ATM, only Neuer is currently better.

Let's not forget either that this was apparently his 'settling in' season. He should be even better next year!! Good luck PL strikers....
