There's always the chance that Courtois does a WWF-style move in the 90th minute of the second leg. Score is 0-0, extra time is looming, Torres takes a shot from 12 yards which eventually reaches Cour

He nailed that penalty like it was De Bruyne's bird.

When I rewatched the save of the 1v1 I noticed he seems to get low to the ground so quickly, and I mean this in a good way Just watch Scznenzyzne-thingy against Naismith yesterday When he gets in t

From the article.

Courtois’ key strengths are the fact that, despite his huge frame, he is agile enough to get down quickly to low shots and he inspires confidence in his defence by commanding his area.

If Courtois is as good as lloris or better, I would definitely start him over Cech.

Miles beyond Lloris. If you watch the last friendly between Belgium and France you would have thought Lloris was the 21 year old and Courtois was the seasoned veteran.

Lloris being bad this season has more to do with Tottenham's tactics and general performances. He's kept the score down for them plenty of times this season. Deserves to be at a better club, really rate him.

Meh, Friedel is better than Lloris.

lloris seems to be more interested playing as a sweeper rather than a keeper. which is hilarious cos his decision making is horrendous and more often than not, he ends up costing his team. with lloris as a keeper, the defence can almost NEVER have an stability.

courtois is a much much better keeper.

LOL Yeah, reminds me of Lehman a bit. I know they say you need to be crazy to be a keeper, but these two take it a bit too far.

If Real Madrid has Casillas on bench, why couldn't we have Courtois and Cech both? Wouldn't be too bothered to lose Lukaku for good money but losing Courtois would be bad business any way you look at it. Including him in Costa deal wouldn't make it any bit better, personally I think Costa is a little bit over-rated. There are only two players who I'd trust to come in and do a good job for us after all those post-Drogba years, and those names are Cavani and Rooney.

I think Lloris is one of, if not the best keeper in the world behind Neuer at coming off his line and rushing, it's what he does. It's one of his strengths. It's valuable in some systems i.e. Bayern's or Barca's game.

Meh, Friedel is better than Lloris.

No, he really isn't. He's having a bad year because Tottenham in general are a joke this season but that doesn't mean he's bad.

dude, thats the point... u cant have a keeper do that playing with spurs... a keeper should adjust according to the team's strengths, not the other way round. specially in a defence, crying out loud for a stable goalie.

choulo compared him to lehmann who was a great goalie too, but despite them being good goalies, i would not want them between the sticks at CFC, thats the main point.

I think Friedel was unfairly dropped when he was having arguably his best season solely because of Lloris's price tag.

He's an amazing keeper on his day, and as didierforever said can be excellent with teams with a certain system. But he's a bit too "erratic" for my taste.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I'd take Thibaut over Lloris any day of the week.
