Can't see the match. Could he have done better with the goal?

Thibaut is the future of chelsea

[Fernando 6,376]

If he really is going to be our no. 1, we HAVE to get a new contract tied down sooner rather than later.

N doubt about it. If he doesn't sign an extension by the end of the year then something not right.

Solid debut. Didn't notice any mistakes except for a few miskicks. Overall had one excellent save and dealt with every ball in the box comfortably.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Great debut. One world-class save, but how many times did he just come for the ball and claim it?

Looked solid, caught the ball fantastically but needs to improve his kicking especially to the right-flank.

[OneMoSalah 8,615]

You are the idiot and the stupid one here. If you are not able to discuss intelligently then shut up. What's with the insults? I'm having a conversation with intelligent people who can also agree to disagree. Who let you sign on here anyways? No one invited you into it.

Just stop. Your favorite player is Cech. You claim that Courtois hasn't earned a right to play even though he played. Shhhhhhhhhhht.

Yeah, his kicking off the deck was poor tonight, but it was a very greasy surface so let's give him the benefit of the doubt. His distribution is usually quite decent, not as good as Cech's, mind, but good nonetheless.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Reminded me of our game at the Calderon. We defended all game, so i was excited when we got some corners to try and steal a goal.

But he just came out and caught everything effortlessly.

Indeed. He was very firm and confident when intercepting balls in the air from their corners.

[Cholo 428]

Cech is history. Courtois is future. Case closed.

[blu35_army 550]

Thibaut is really didn't like more backpass. Why our back four not confidence to make a simple pass?

[iseah100 5,612]

Decent game. Needs to be tested more.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Very solid outing. He'll grow in confidence with a few more games, can see him single handily winning some games for us this season if he is given an extended run in.

[The Chels 2,502]

With Courtois in goal I feel much less nervous with opposition crosses and corners.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Great confindence boost for him, as he is chosen for PL debut. It means that the manager have a great trust in him.

[Steagles 70]

Courtois was solid today. He looked very reminiscent of Cech pre-injury and he is so massive he can out leap anyone. With all due respect to Petr Cech, I hope Thibaut is chosen from now on, but I hope Petr gets a chance to play first team elsewhere. He deserves that.

Side note, if Cech is sold, how soon do you guys think Thibaut takes the #1 shirt?

There were people here worried about his capability to deal with the "physicality". Well, I think the moment said it all, when he went to claim an air ball and in the process of doing that planted Cahill on his ass and didn't even give a shit.

I was trying tell people that Courtois is a physical GK.
