Thibaut Courtois

[Stingray 9,441]

Disagree. He could have just kicked it to the sidelines. He messed up. It was a poor pass from Ivanovic that put his goalkeeper in a shitty situation but he should have done better.

Happy though that he showed mental durabillity after his mistake. You've got goalkeepers that make a mistake and then go on to have absolute stinkers of games because they're doubting themselves and constantly second guessing themselves because of the mistake.

He didn't. That's a good trait to have for a goalkeeper.

Anyone calling for Cech needs to have a word with themselves as he more then made up for the mistake.

True. No matter the foreplay, his decision was bad to say the least. How he pulled himself up by the hairs is what makes up a winners/champions DNA. So, we have a bipolar case: biggest fuck up, but also motm material. Id like him to show more, he is Chelsea material, no doubt.

This. Even if it was too risky to smash it to the sidelines he could have smashed it backwards and give them a corner, trying to dribble with a first touch from his weak foot was risky and it didn't pay off.

My MOTM and player of the season so far. That is all.

He has done really well. Its between him and Hazard in my book.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

He was the clear MOTM despite the error. Happens to the best of the them, he won us the match, get over it.

Hazard is easily our player of the season. Only one that's been consistent throughout.

[mikeholiday 209]

the mental toughness to recover in the second half and produce those saves...

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Not related but Neuer and De Gea both kinda messed up today with their goals as well too #Illuminati

[Special Juan 27,457]

The speed of his footwork is sublime to get to saves, and with him being so big it needs to be. His error will be highlighted more than his saves by the MOTD wankers but his saves today were quite brilliant.

[termninja 5,290]

It's partially his fault for that goal, but Ivanovic sent a shitty pass also. Had a great game actually, incredible saves that saved our ass multiple times.

[Jase 43,479]

Courtois must be laughing in pain at going from playing with a back 4 of Luis-Godin-Miranda-Juanfran to Azpi-Terry-Cahill-Ivanovic. The fact that he's having to make so many saves in every game speaks volume about the state of our current defence. In fact, we're slowly becoming like United who have needed De Gea to bail them out so many times this season.

Courtois has been conisistent?

[Polo7 3,496]

As bad as that mistake he made today was, he totally redeemed himself throughout the season. We have one hellova goalie!

Take a fucking chillpill.

In all honestly I don't think the defence is that bad but the protection isn't the best currently, something im sure Mou will fix in the summer, Matic is off form and as much of a revelation as Cesc has been, to say he isn't the best defensive pivot player is putting it mildly.

he did enough TODAY to make up for his one mistake
