Thibaut Courtois

[Last Sicarius 610]

Nobody cares about Tibo. He can has most clean sheets in league, most saves per goal but stil everyone gets nuts when De Gea make save that secure draw for United

Made some good saves but his distribution and decision making is utter shite.

Eh? No it isn't lmao.

 

His improvement in that aspect has been staggering.

He means that in the beginning of the game, he had a bad pass and it caused a chance for Arsenal eventually. So for him, his distribution is useless again for the next year. No matter what Courtois has been doing every game. One small error = utter sh*t goalkeeper

[MCM4PR3Z 411]

I think the DDG hype is going quiet. I read a lot of comments on forums and most people start to realise that Courtois is better than DDG. But it is not impossible that DDG will become goalkeeper of the year again in the PL. In that case, elections are just a lost cause.

I used to feel a slight discomfort whenever the ball was at his feet. I'd think he might concede possession, put a team mate in trouble by passing the ball to a marked player or even give it straight to an opponent. Now I don't think about anything when he has the ball. Says it all really.

He literally just in our game right there kicked the ball straight at Arsenal's forwards while they were 10 ft away from him because he wanted to give it to Luiz who wasn't even looking in the right direction (who proceeded to slip). He is absolutely not good with the ball at his feet.

He is excellent with the ball at his feet this season. Again, one small error and he is utter sh*t again for the next year with the ball at his feet and in decision making. Lmfao

The *majority* of our games he has allowed opposition players within 3 ft of himself and had to hoof it upfield anywhere regardless of direction. You want to see a great keeper, look at the real greats who're still better despite being granddads, like Buffon, Casillas, even Valdes.

He is not good with the ball at his feet.

Who said he's utter shit? Who's saying he isn't one of the best shot-stoppers in Europe?

Did you just call Casillas and Valdes better than Courtois? That's it... I'm done.

[Leif 6,006]

Manpe, I'd bet my left arm you haven't even seen 5 games of Valdes or Casillas in the past 3 years. Maybe one or two. So you're either voicing your opinion based on barely any knowledge, or, you're baaaah'ing like a sheep.

But correct me properly if I'm wrong. Do try and tell me how Casillas hasn't been absolutely incredible again for the past year - go on. 

In regards to Valdes, I should've elaborated. My original post is specifically talking about Courtois being shit with the ball at his feet, and having poor distribution. Hence highlighting a true great at goalkeeping distribution, Valdes, who Courtois could learn heaps from still, as the former outperforms the latter in that category. Deny that and you don't understand football.

Now discuss these points with me, unless you'd rather stick to your opinions without any evidence or logic.

Don't start me on lack of knowledge, you yourself often talk shit about things you don't understand. Casillas plays in a mickey mouse Portuguese league because he was deemed crap and has been past his best for a long time now. He also had a horrible season recently at Porto. Would you swap Courtois for Casillas? Of course you would, who doesn't want a better player.

Valdes may be a better ball player, he must be as a Barca graduate, maybe you should have pointed that out more clearly in that sentence rather than simply referring to real great goalkeepers. I don't contest that point, but I do contest the point that Valdes is better overall.

[MCM4PR3Z 411]

There is no point in discussing with Cech fans. Courtois will always be a big nose sh*tty goalkeeper for them. Just discuss with the Chelseafans, that is much easier

[the wes 7,212]

I wish chelsea would offer courtios  a new deal to put Real Madrid rumours to bed fs 

[MCM4PR3Z 411]

What a beast! Had a discussion with a United supporter today that and he said that Courtois has an average season, that most goalkeepers in the PL would perform the same in this Chelsea. And that De Gea is the greatest goalkeeper ever. Those people must be robots without AI or must use the most powerfull drug ever

I like seeing him show his character.

[Jase 43,479]

for that BIG save against Rashford.

Doesn't have much to do in games these days but he's been excellent whenever called upon.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

Really important save. I would have fancied United to shut up shop if they had equalized
