Stats 7,147 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Well, Neuer made bundles of mistakes last season and cost Bayern dearly. Cech had his few errors but this season has been fantastic and even when Cech has made his errors, he cancels that out with some of the key saves he made last season. His performance against Barcelona and Bayern was astonishing and one of the main reasons why we won the Champions League trophy. Brilliant keeper! zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People overreact when he makes a mistake and then downplay and take him for granted when he makes a great save as they always choose to focus on the negatives than positives. .sum41 and Stats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Cech sounding like a captain here:-Petr Cech has delivered a stark ultimatum to any Chelsea player opposed to Roman Abramovich's hiring and firing policy, saying: "If you don't like it, you can leave."The Blues goalkeeper also challenged his team-mates to help the eighth manager he has worked under win over the fans following the savage abuse directed at Rafael Benitez in the Spaniard's first game in charge.Cech said: "You adapt or you're out. It's as simple as that."You're here to play, you're here to do what the club and manager wants you to do. If you don't like it, you can leave."I'm here to play, I want to play so I do everything I can straight away so that the manager has no option but to put me in goal."That's the way I work and is the way it works for everybody because, if you stay sad and don't do the right things, you can end up on the bench and you're not playing and it will be even more disappointing."As a player, you need to do the right thing all the time."

Blue Armour 4,443 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 No offence to PC, who has generally been nothing short of brilliant this season, but yesterday you could tell he was going to screw up.He kept coming out of his box in needless situations, and was trying to dummy Carlton Cole on a few...The one time he really needed to come out and collect the ball, he failed and that led to the equalizer.

The minute West Ham got their act together in the 2nd half, we just couldn't handle the aerial bombardment really. Midfield went missing(where was Mikel and/or Ramires for Diame's goal?!) and neither Cahill nor Ivanovic was hardly commanding enough in the box. Got owned by Carlton Cole(by Carlton Cole FFS!) and made him looked way better than he is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 What's people's thoughts on what we do with Cech now that we have a 20 year old prospect in Courtois? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 What's people's thoughts on what we do with Cech now that we have a 20 year old prospect in Courtois?Cech is our #1 goalie until he's not good enough. Keepers can last a long time (Friedel is 40 and still a very good goalie) so it might not be for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 What's people's thoughts on what we do with Cech now that we have a 20 year old prospect in Courtois?Well imo I believe Cech will continue in net this season, the next one and the one after (hopefully Thibaut will be on loan at a PL club(s) for 2 seasons after his loan spell finishes at Atletico) giving us a 22/23 year old replacement who is more than capable and has some experience in the PL. Then Cech will hopefully stay and be back up to him providing him with help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 What's people's thoughts on what we do with Cech now that we have a 20 year old prospect in Courtois?Courtois might well go out on loan next season again, this time probably in the Premier League and LDN Blue made this good point over in Courtois thread.Not having a dig at the kid, but he must realise that in order for him to get his chance to breakthrough and adapt to life at Chelsea he must go through a period of bench warming. Cech didn't walk into this squad when he was first came, he got his break with an injury to Cudicini which Cech gladly took the opportunities given to him.I like Courtois' passion to play, it's warming to see the kid wants to play for the love of the game and not the money. But patience plays its part. He also can get invaluable advice from Cech, because that man's experience is so key to the development of the young Belgian, it shouldn't be taken for granted. I'm sure if Fergie could've retained the services of Van Der Sar, De Gea would be a much better goal keeper right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanBlue 82 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 What's people's thoughts on what we do with Cech now that we have a 20 year old prospect in Courtois?We shouldn't rush anything with Courtois. He's a big talent, but we have a world class keeper and he will need some time to develop and we should give that time to him by loaning him at least 2 more seasons to clubs with a tight game schedule just like we have. Cech should remain in goal until his performances drop and that can take a few more years. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 So what do we do with Courtois?I sorta agree. I disagree with keeping Cech around though - too expensive and takes up a foreign spot.What about that cock Ross Turnbull who takes up a home grown spot despite being one of the world goal keepers ever? Or Henrique "golden oldie" Hilario? Takes up a foreign spot?Also I'd much rather Cech as backup than Turnbull or Hilario... I'm unsure if he'd stay to be no.2 but I'm sure he would. He seems really loyal, I'm sure hes had chances to leave Chelsea before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of his wages?I believe he isn't one of the highest earners at the club and regardless of whether he is too expensive and takes up a foreign spot, as long as he is still good enough, Cech stays!If you want to talk about someone being expensive and waste a foreign spot, look no further than Torres!!

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I actually agree with most of those points, but the way I see it Cech could conceivably be a top keeper for 7 years. What do we do with Courtois in that case? Ask him to sign at least one more contract whilst we're either sticking on the bench or sending him out on loan every year?Eventually we're going to have to make a choice and if the choice is to sell Cech, then the sooner we sell him the more value he has.
