It doesn't seem like the Spanish have ever really rated him, apart from around the time when Casillas was really shit and wanted him dropped for De Gea.
Just seems hes one of them keepers that would rather be busy than have to make the one save needed a game, doesnt help him that his kicking has dropped off a cliff.
I really hope that was given as a penalty. It clearly was one.
Didn't you watch the clip?
I thought it was "wizard"?
Red for violent conduct or denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity? If you mean the latter then it's only a yellow if ref thinks he made an honest attempt to take the ball.
Violent conduct, I know the new rule change (which I dont really agree with but...).
I dom't think he's made any howlers but I can think of quite a number of goals he's conceded where I think he really should have done better.
I did, I was also drunk when I did and stopped after the challenge.
This is correct - no colossal gaffes but his shot-stopping has been poor compared to last season. He has looked a bit better in recent weeks - he did very well vs. Liverpool in the league and Lille in the CL, for example. To be fair though, he's having a better season thus far than Courtois...
Don't forget that gift to Aguero in the first half
It's because Courtois left Chelsea up shit creek without a paddle thanks to his antics. Chelsea had been targeting Alisson but Conte finishing 5th doomed that prospect. Also sounded out Oblak but he had no interest in dropping a level. Kepa was / is viewed as a player for the future.
His price finally makes sense.
I think his positioning is pretty good. He’s great at getting to shots, just not keeping them out.
He was very good last season all be it nowhere near Alisson. If he was bad or even average last term the media would have been after him from the off given he was Sarri's signing and they were desperate to downplay anything he did (notice how the Kante's out of position myth is isn't being peddled now Lampard's done exactly the same thing)
I came here to say the same thing. All I can say is he's lucky the press haven't honed in on his price tag yet.
De GeaHe's so poor
Honestly I reckon I could give it a bloody good go to name at least 10 better keepers in the league than him
They would if he played for a club that gets clicks
