Clean sheets WILL be more difficult this season because we're set up more positively. Sure, one or two of the goals could have been avoided with better communication and better positioning, but it's not like it's unheard of for Cech to concede soft goals. How about we lay off the kid, eh? You can point to today and I can point to the one on one vs Nugent in the Leicester game and the save against Coleman in the Everton game that was somehow pushed onto the post.

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

Today It was his mistake. He has no need to punch the ball to the center outside the box... all the qpr players that went to the counter attack were there.

I still think that with Cech, we wouldn't concede 10 goals after 10 games...

a better communication with the CB's is needed...

Better Location sometimes.

Agree, despite he does great job, I feel we would concede less with Cech, probably due to experience.

Tibo cant keep clean sheet to save his life...

If you watch the first replay of this video, you can see he puches the ball away with one hand (i don't think he could have reached it with both). I can imagine its very difficult to control where the ball is going like that. All you can do is put a firm hand against it and get it as far away as possible, which he did well according to me.

Just punch it behind the goal. corner is way better than punch it to the middle of the box.

So punch it elsewhere!!! just not to the era he did today...to a throw in...

Like I said, with one hand and considering the speed of the ball i think it is nearly impossible to give it any direction, just to punch it away some distance.

It was mainly his fault for the goal. It wasn't at all a difficult ball and he needs to do better than punch it straight to the edge of the box. He looked a bit nervy on a couple of other balls in the second half as well.

I'm not saying that because I want Petr back. I think we're well past that stage, I'm just saying those are things he'll need to work on in addition obviously to his communication and organization skills which will hopefully come naturally with time and experience.

Holy fuck, can't we all just appreciate the fact we have a brilliant keeper in Tibo? He's a professional and will continue growing without a doubt, so there is no need to complain that much imo.. I was watching the game with a Man U fan and an Arsenal fan, and guess what? Both admitted that Courtois is actually the best in the league and both wished their team had him.

I disagree it was a mistake. He could have done better, but it was't a punch so he did not have that much control there.

The defense was sitting too deep and did not react quickly enough - kinda see that too often.

He is already a lot better than Cech, so I don't think it's a matter of giving the younger player a run because "he is the future." Jose is merely starting the better player.

Obviously Cech is still an excellent GK, which makes him staying all the more surprising.

Watching it again it really wasn't that bad, the shot was strong across his body, but away from the goal so he had to go and meet it, so if he tried to hit it over for a corner (which would of been pretty impossible) would of been a bigger risk than hitting it out. He could of either got a small touch on it and hit it behind him to a throwing or corner, or did what he did, and to be honest he got a good punch on it, the bigger question is where the hell was our defence??

DDG is excellent keeper. But when he came to United he often had mares in defending and was conceding silly goals. He costed them points more than once. It was a matter of adapting. Premier League is the fastest league up there, and it's not easy for ex La Liga keepers to adapt here and keep clean sheets instantly.

Tibo doesn't keep clean sheets but he is not costing us points. He handles this league transition much better than I expected him to, to be honest. He is great and with time he will become exceptional, maybe only second to Neuer. When he starts to keep those clean sheets ( it will take time, mind you) he will be doing that in 7 games out of 10 or something like that. In a nutshell, he will be amazing.
