Basically he says that he loves the club and feels like he owes so much after we bought him to replace a club legend like Cech. Well, that's what Google translate is telling me anyway :biggrin:

All well and good Tibo, the Belgians are good at talking, but let's see that signature on a shiny new contract. That'll mean a hell of a lot more than platitudes.

Can you give a quick overview in English?  Not pulling up in English when I open link.  Thanks

Strange. Do we have the same videos, my good friend mwblue10?

It sounds English for me.

Well, this calm me down. Although I did not have any doubts in the first place.

No problem, mwblue10!

A small mistake. Don't worry!

 

And you have two likes, I see!        :good2:

Instead of him to focus on improving his goal keeping ability, his ego continue to hold him back.
I hope he never tries to take a penalty for us in the Champions league knock out stage.

Did you see his penalty against PSG last summer? The bloke knows how to take them. If Conte thinks he should be taking one then long may it continue.

I was thinking maybe if he didn't play any but he relax himself and focus on how to save the ball from getting into the net we could have had a better chance instead of him multitasking himself trying to do both.

Its a good job theres someone like you there to tell the him how to be a better goalkeeper, maybe you should be our new keeper coach.

Outside of the penalty shootout Courtois was excellent.  If there was ever a time to test his mettle (if he wants to be a penalty taker) it's during a trophy game that doesn't mean much else other than bragging rights.  He didn't take it well, ok, we will see if he ever takes another.  Certainly not in the number 2 role, I think.  

He dove the wrong way every penalty against him...that is not good.

Although Wallosh is being stupid questioning his goalkeeping ability when he was the reason it went to pens hehas a point re the penalty, i said at the time he took one vs Paris that 9 times out of 10 it would have gone over the top.

Lol, are you taking the piss. It was just an opinion from a Chelsea fan.

They lost didn't they? So you tell me. 

I don't think losing on pks makes either team cowards regardless of whether a keeper took one. If he's one of your best at it, wht would you keep him out?

Because he also needs to save penalties.

Miss your penalty and what does that do to you mentally? Are you as focused on the task of stopping penalties or has the miss got in your head? 

I don't like it personally, there should comfortably be 5 outfield players capable and willing to take penalties without your goalkeeper feeling the need to step in. 

Get the frustrations, but look how gutted he was at missing his pen and then losing the shoot-out...good to see he gives a sh*t, even in a nothing trophy like the Community Shield...he actually had a bloody good game before that but of course that's been quickly forgotten

Actually I think Courtois must have insisted on taking one of the first five penalty kicks.
