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

Reminds be a bit of Hilaro,Good saves then has some weird moment.So frustrating..memories of clean sheets lol

I bet you wouldn't be saying that if his last game was 3 days ago not 3 months.

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.

[chelseafan26 293]

Absolutely terrible. How many points has he cost us this season?

Should be dropped ASAP.

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

[BlueLion. 21,491]

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.  Today's error was as bad as that "save" in stoppage time at Norwich where, instead of catching the ball, he pushes it straight into the six yard box, and, but for Cahill's braveness, we'd surely have conceded an equaliser. He's shocking at the minute.

Poor Bego...

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.

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 ...

[Special Juan 27,456]

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.

 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

No way he will be dropped. He is invincible.

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. 

[Blue Armour 4,323]

Fact is we can have Begovic in front of goal instead, and I can almost guarantee that we will still not have a clean sheet

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?
