Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I know it's not just Asmir but I've heard on a couple of occasions managers saying that is ultimately the keeper's call. For example, Petr always had 2 players on the posts why Thibaut didn't have any even at Atletico. Maybe some managers let the keeper decide, but I doubt someone like Mourinho does. Dunno, will have to check if he did it at Stoke or in the national team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 441 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 You think Jose will give Thibo the job back when he returns??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 You think Jose will give Thibo the job back when he returns???Yes, keeper is different to outfield, in goal you pick you're pecking order and stick to it.Take WBA for example, Foster in injured a lot and Myhill does well when called on but when Foster is fit he play's.

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 He doesn't inspire confidence when it comes to penalties...Also to add, he's done well, very well, in terms of shot stopping, but I can't help but wonder why he hasn't organised the defense by now.I know we were a defensive mess with Tibo at the start too, but I feel he would have had some sort of control on the defence by now.

I remember him saying something to that affect when he returned, that JT commands the defense, and that at Atletico Madrid he was given the license to organize the back-line to his liking. Until JT hangs them up, no gk will have dominant say in the way they organize the defense.Not that I particularly care that much either way.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Courtois would've been the clear favourite for the Balon D'or if he was playing behind this defence. Begovic is a great #2 but he's several levels behind Thibu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Proper fuck-up for that Dynamo equalizer.Difference between having Cech or Courtois (World Class GKs), i like Begovic and he´s been playing well, but those 2 have won us matches on their own when the rest of the team was shit. Cech and Arsenal got hammered today and brought back to earth, i do feel sorry for Cech, deserved much better than Arsenal, but whatever, love seeing them get humbled, all in all a good day.

In fact the last 10 years "we have" been better than them, but this season we haven´t, but our chances of progressing in the Champions League this season look much better for us than for them, even if we are having a troubled season, but hey whatever helps you sleep at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begovic is a great #2 but he's several levels behind Thibu.You're probably right, on both counts, but I'm very happy with Begovic. He didn't cover himself in Glory re their goal but, as we know, all keepers mess up sometimes. It's inevitable. Overall he's been good for us and I'm delighted we have him. I have no fears whatsoever about him starting games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It's tougher for them cause they have a better group homie.Tough group? not really homie, Only Bayern is tough, what's Arsenal excuse for losing to Zagreb and Olympiakos? Arsenal and Bayern were the clear favourites to qualify in this group, but it doesn't seem that way now, does it? in the Champions League there are no easy games and so it shows. Anyway i couldn't care less for Arsenal, i'm only worried about Chelsea and it's in our own hands to qualify, and i believe we will, last night's win was essencial for us and it lifted the spirit of the team, now we just got to keep focused and try to win the next games to turn around this bad moment. One step at a time we will get there. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well should have saved that. We miss Tibo clearly. He gives us more confidence.From that range and with the strike having sufficient power, I disagree wholeheartedly. Did well to even get a hand to it.
