As a back up, at the time, it made perfect sense. It's not like Begovic was shit come his Stoke days, we in fact tried to sign him in 2010 before we had Courtois from Genk. He's certainly more capable than Turnbull or Hilario, days when they were filling in for Cech was far too unbearable & embarrassing. So I'm far happier with Begovic tbh.

He had some poor performances at the end of the season, but at the beginning, he was very good and helped keep the horrible run of matches from being worse.

Who do you expect to be our backup? Neuer? Outstanding goalkeepers don't go to sit on the bench. Cudicini, Hilario or Turnbull were all okay but obviously not as good as Cech. Bego is obviously not as good as Courtois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull was thrash but Hilario was actually pretty good at filling in for one/two of games, it was when he had to play more he started flaking. 5 hours ago, kmk108 said: Last season he was good enough for some to call for him to start over Courtois.

I feel he was overrated, or maybe he just looked good compared to the rest of the team I dunno. He got beat six times at his near post (which is quite ironic considering that was the main reason people wanted Tibo dropped in spring) and should have done better for a further four goals, ten goals in a few months is a lot.

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Bego is one of the best backup keepers on the planet. I can't understand anyone who thinks we should replace him with someone else. Our GK department is fantastic and literally the least of our worries. Courtois-Cech was probably the best GK duo in Premier League history and something that was always going to be just a temporary situation.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Horrible lack of communication with Cahill for the 1st goal, unfortunate for 2nd, and then he fucking pulls off that save against Musa. What the actual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Was not expecting that header from Kouyate and that in itself was a mistake along with his positioning. 17 yards out from a header and beaten, should not happen.

Header was strong and went straight to the post. Not much he can do. That header was more powerful than most of Fabregas' leg-shoots actually.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Nothing he could do about that header really. That one had too much power and was placed perfectly, not to mention that GKs expect their defenders to actually win headers that far out. Asmir did well yesterday.

KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Slaven Bilic wants Chelsea stopper Asmir Begovic at West Ham on loan after losing faith with goalkeepers Adrian and Darren Randolph Slaven Bilic keen to wrap up loan deal for Chelsea's back-up goalkeeper West Ham's boss no longer has confidence in Adrian or Darren Randolph Asmir Begovic is playing second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois at Stamford Bridge http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4003318/Slaven-Bilic-targets-Asmir-Begovic-loan-West-Ham-losing-faith-Adrian-Darren-Randolph.html West Ham want to loan Asmir Begovic in the January transfer window. The Hammers are on the look out for a new No 1, news revealed by Sportsmail at the end of last month after Slaven Bilic lost faith with Adrian. The Spanish goalkeeper has since been axed from the starting XI and Darren Randolph has been given a chance to stake his claim for the jersey but the club are unconvinced.

He wouldn't leave us with Carvalho as backup would he? And with us still in one cup hes got some game time coming still. And come summer we might just be Tiboless.

Thendo 1,088 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Begovic is homegrown, isn't he? If he were to leave we should try get a decent English back up keeper so we have one more for that criteria. No idea who though, Heaton would be great but he's maybe to good to be backup? Hopefully he'll stay but I can understand if he would like to become a starter once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
