Thibaut Courtois

Im talking about that one more clean sheet he might make. I know he pulled some quality saves, but sometimes a gk just doesnt let anything in, no matter what. Cech saved several shots in certain games and that gave us clean sheet, no matter how difficult and impossible it was. Courtois was usualy half protected by defence, this time he was not and conceded. Cech was also unprotected in defence in certain games, but still saved those games. Im not saying Courtois wasnt good enough, but he will have to get some games when he will keep anything despite a shitty defence. Even if you call them miracle saves. This is what truly world class gks do and Im sure Tibo will do it at one point.

Are you honestly comparing a 10 year career with a 5 game one?

Thats why i'm baffled when people try and judge who's the best keeper based on clean sheets... so many different variables come in to play.

IMO he's better than Cech mainly because he's more agile, faster and much better at dealing with crosses.

True, but Petr's anticipation and positioning is still better (arguably the best in the world) and his technique is slightly better as well. It's pretty close overall, but you have to go with Thibaut for the age difference. Although, I am very glad that Petr is staying for Courtois' firsts season here.

Those are third kits. I'm not convinced.

5 of them, you commented on 1 3rd kit from adidas.. a 3rd keeper kit, in which sales are far less than standard shirts so you can't blame them.

Both Adidas and Nike often use the same templates, they are as bad as each other.
