Thibaut Courtois

[mediator 2,026]

If we came up against Atletico in the Champions League, would Courtois be eligible to play against us?

I don't think, the super cup game was a glorified friendly, but champions league isn't

No.

If those comments are true, a year next to one of the best keepers in the world ought to teach him something about respect and how to carry yourself. He's a big fish in a little pond right now - if he comes here next season José and Cech will teach him some humility.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Not his best game at all tonight. Little he could have done about the first and third goals, but generally he just looked shaky with his saves and actions and misjudged a couple of balls. Hope he gets a CS in the next league game and put this game behind him.

If that is not a mistranslated version of the interview, then I'm sorry, Courtois is really acting like a prick. Majority of his comments in the media always seem to smack of arrogance and him having a mega size ego. It's getting ridiculous and annoying.

There've been too many similar incidents for them to all be mistranslations. It's not that his opinion is wrong about all of the subjects, it's that he shouldn't be discussing them in the press to begin with. Him and Lukaku seriously need some PR training.

Shocking goals to concede tonight

The second one he might've done better on (tricky placing of the shot, especially when he's moving to his right) but the other two left him stranded.

[Moustradamus 60]

Good lord, just finished watching the Atletico v Real Madrid game. Courtois' performance was shocking.

[yuvala 2,167]

I think you guys might be over-reacting.

Yes he had a bad game, but apart from Jesse's goal I dont think he had much to do. Pretty big deflections which saw the ball move in the opposite direction, I really dont think any keeper would have got it.

[Cosmin 2,484]

He got unlucky, in my opinion.

Lol. 2nd goal he should've gone down quicker or used his feet, explain to me how the first and third are shocking to concede please.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Should kept Jese shot, couldnt do anything with first and last goal though...but generaly he was quite nervous on ball. In fact whole Atletico was quite shit tonight.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

He couldn't have done anything for the deflections, just very unlucky. Jese's goal though you could argue he could have saved. I've noticed this alot whenever I've seen him, those shots that are close to his feet, he almost always tries to go down and save with his hands and body instead of using his legs. For being such a big guy, he must add that to his arsenal otherwise he's just too big to get down that fast.

True but then again, Courtois could probably do with some attitude/ego management to begin with.

I don't mind that, tbh. Some of the best footballers in the world had the biggest egos I've ever seen: Ibra, Drogba, Pele..etc. As long as he's using that ego for the benefit of the team and to win games and not to negatively affect his teammates, then it's perfectly fine, imo.

Again agree but at least those players you mentioned there knows how to control it, if you like. They use(d) their arrogance on the pitch rather than off it and while Courtois is performing on the pitch, he seems to be going extreme off it with this attitude/ego.

Before saying he got attitude/ ego problems you could look up what he actually said in that interview

His dad cleared some stuff up this morning saying that he didnt said those things about mignolet, basically that reporter twisted courtois's words.
