Petr Cech

Did anyone have a feeling that somehow our defenders seems playing more 'comfortable' when Cech in goal?

Familiarity, in this instance, breeds content. As I've said in this thread numerous times, it's a psychological thing. Cech has a decade's experience of doing this at the top level for Chelsea, so it's no surprise his inclusion in the side brings about a sense of calmness.

That is a good point. And he really has an impct on our whole team, not only defenders. As a former football player(not pro ofc) you gain confidence and calmness when you know someone like Cech is in goal. Through the time Terry and Cahill have gained this and it is always good when you know Cech is behind you. Hopefully, in the future, Zouma will gain this confidence with Tibo in goal.

Feel a bit sorry for him today. A couple of stunning saves, but then he should have kept out Stead's shot, no doubt about it.

Preparing for battle like a boss.

I will never love a GK more than I love Cech. Another outrageous save in his collection.

Well done. World class save.

Just after that save the camera cut to Courtois and you could almost picture his brain as he's thinking, "wowzers these are some boots to fill".

Sell Courtois for 50m in the summer?

He's still the top, fucking love him!

It's a shame, he will most likely be benched again after this, although he is very much deserved to start again next actually.

Not underestimating his saves but both shots were straight at him and it was a combination of great reflex/luck that saved it. A bit similar to the Courtois against Coutinho in semi of CO Cup.

He is the best GK in our history though and I love him.

World Class save. We are indebted to him just as mucb as Willian for these 3 points. Legend!!
