Thibaut was stepping into enormous shoes last season and very few had many issues with the decision. In fact, most wanted him to replace Petr even in the season before that.

He isn't get stick because he's replaced Cech, he's getting stick from the fans because he's let in a soft goal in almost every single match since his return from injury. 

So the criticism can't be dismissed as fans nostalgia for Cech. He HAS been poor lately and the criticism is valid and deserved. 

I totally agree! Massive difference with his clean sheet record in Spain.

However... the defense he has in front of him would bring any goalkeeper to tears. The Lukaku run this weekend sums it all up. You should watch this again in Slo Mo!

I play amateur league football (like to lowest of the lowest) and seeing this goal reminds me of my weekends :)!!

On his mistakes, as DJ Khaled would say:

 Another one.

Another near post goal. I'm beginning to sound like a broken record

Bloody Donkey. One of the most over rated players. Cant believe we sold a legend for this DONKEY. 

FUCKING SHIT.

Shit Gk...

Courtois is better than De Gea people said.  What a joke.

Matic level decline right now.

We sold Cech for Thibo

This is becoming ridiculous. 

Everybody at Chelsea has been poisoned this season. Everybody.

Please stop the excuses and just bench him. He embarrasses himself week after week. 

When Begovic was our GK he also conceded goals, but that was more due our weak defensive lines. Asmir still made good saves unlike Thibaut who is very error prone currently.

This guy is just not a top goalkeeper. Every keeper would look world class hiding behind Atletico Madrid's defence and making the odd save every 5 games or so.

Before Christmas De Gea was conceding from corners and letting in soft goal after soft goal, but he's not a Chelsea player so he's allowed a dip.

No, because Cech also made mistakes!

Was it really his fault? I don't think so, he made a couple of good saves today, just take a look at the freekick from Payet, wasn't that easy to stop.

As i said before, Courtois isn't at his best, but we have much bigger problems than him.

He needs to start near post training
