Thibaut Courtois

[CFC_SLO 3]

So what is going on with his fella? Surely our defense is not near close to being rock solid and stable as it used to be, but that is why we have a "suppose to be" WC goalkeeper on goal line in the first place! I used to laugh at moments when Mignolet saved nearly impossible, and 10 minutes later conceed from an "easy-to-save" situation. But damn, Courtois is not far from the same problem! Truly unbelivable what is happening. I was always very calm when Cech was still in the blue shirt, now i know we are going to conceed every single game! Most possibly from a stupid not even the most sufisticsted playaction of the opposed team!

And sry for my english, got a bit rusty through years :-)

Not worried about him in all honesty. What I am worried about is the certain people like Oscar, Matic, Cahill and Hazard's of the team that are more decline than the UK economy.

Youre so right. Its like theres some sort of apathy disease. I dont understand how millionaire players of this standard that are all at the top of their games (apart from Cahill) should be as bad as they are right now. You could understand if its the one odd player but its almost across the whole team.

Its bloody scary really and I cant see it being an easy fix.

Quote

I think our preseason (with Chelsea) was too short. Physically, we weren't ready. We lost our first game in the Community Shield, then we needed a change, and Guus Hiddink's arrival did us some good.

'We're still conceding too many goals, and that's not entirely the defence's fault, even though I prefer playing with Belgium's back four. Europe?
It'll be hard, but we're going to try and finish the season strongly.'

He's being honest and I can respect that. Ugly ugly thing to see from someone who is most likely going to be our starting keeper for the next 10+ years though.

He likes the belgium back4 more?

ohhhhh

[manpe 10,861]

What a stupid thing to say. He has to face his teammates again after the break, did he forget that? I'm sure he meant what he said, nobody would like to play with this defence at the moment, but still you don't say it out loud. It humiliates the team even further.

Something must be mentally wrong with all of these Belgian footballers. None of them appear to have a filter when they speak to the media and have absolutely no PR training. Courtois, Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne, Mirallas...they constantly seem to be making headlines for saying stupid things, mostly shitting on their own clubs. The only one who seems to be a mature, smart guy is Kompany.

Just shut up, ffs.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Lol it's a nothing comment, their defence isn't as shaky as ours is lol. Whatever, moving on.. 

[scargo 75]

It's big mistake that we brought Courtois instead of Cech.

 

[Polo7 3,496]

So it's the defences fault he can't save near post goals? I hope Belgium gets fucked at the Euros.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

 Obviously he's telling the truth, everyone knows that.
Still keep your mouth shut boy. Again, these belgian players are talented and all, but their attitude on and off the pitch stinks most of the times.

People making a mountain out of a molehill... first of all, English isn't his first language, and secondly, if you take offence from the fact he is quite rightly calling our defence shit, you're a numpty. A goalkeeper is as good as his/her defence, and only that good. Unless you're de Gea.

That's true but at the same time, why cause rifts in the team? Terry, Zouma, Cahill, Azpi, Ivanovic all probably lose respect for him when they read this.

At the same time, Courtois prolly has no respect for them after this season. I dunno, Courtois hasn't been that great this season to be running his mouth like this IMO.

His English is absolutely fine let's not make an issue out of it.

if he was perfect and our defence was shite that's a different story, but he has been just as shit this season!

I am sure the media are making more of this than necessary -still the faithful at the Bridge arent going to take too kindly to these remarks as hes hardly covered himself in glory up to now , and 'Flappy' needs to concentrate on his game more
