BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 I feel embarrassed for him standing behind that defence. I've had better protection playing 5-a-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Another fucking top class performance from this lad. That reaction when the ball hit the inside of the post and came back out and he flipped it away was truly amazing.Best signing of the summer for us by a country mile.

manpe 10,861 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Only at Chelsea you can consistently concede 2+ goals as a goalkeeper and still be the undisputed MOTM. Worthy replacement to Cech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Swear I am not trying to be a contrarian here, but I think he's been good, but not great or fantastic.I just can't help but think Courtois, perhaps, would have been able to save that extra one that went in and we wouldn't be as deep as we are right now.Again, not criticizing Begovic, but praising a sure top5 GK in Courtois. As a second GK we couldn't possibly done any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 'Amazing' is log stretch. He's been solid, made no mistakes, and made the saves you expect a top a keeper to make. It annoys me slightly though when keepers refuse to have players on the posts for corners. The second Porto goal would have been easily avoidable (plus the one that hit the post).

Its not a Begovic thing, this is something they organize together with coaches because Courtois doesn't put players on the posts either. Silva's goal that knocked us out of the CL last year would've been easily prevented if a player stood on the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Petr always had 2 players on the posts why Thibaut didn't have any even at Atletico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthy replacement to Cech.Maybe I dont get what you try to say, but are you pointing finger at begovic for us letting two goals each match?Our defense is probably the worst in the league atm. From Matic, Cesc to back four with only Azpi doing his job everyone else is plain shit. Cant mark corners, cant tackle on time, cant win 1on1 against any decent attacker, cant stop crosses.Our defense is awful. From individuals to team defending, we are shit.Begovic and Azpi are probably the only ones who help the team, other way we would be conceding 4 goals a game.

As a second GK we couldn't possibly done any better.I think its quite opposite. Tibo is good and confident when his defense plays well. When defenders play shit, he wont be dragging us out time and time again with amazing saves.For example we scored and for rest kOf game Cech managed to win us a game with number of key saves. I think Tibo (or begovic to that extent) cant, but Begovic is more experienced and done well so far, saved many goals when our defenders were poor, but when you allow so many shots on goal, he cant stop them all. Tibo would go with the form of the team. He isnt that strong character to lead our defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
