The same Fans that were chanting Isco Isco and booing Solari's name when Isco was overweight and slow. Purely about performance and not about being the more likeable player I'm sure.
It’s a message board, we are all entitled to our opinions but I gotta say since you’ve joined us, you are a fairly pessimistic dude As for the debate, two games in I actually think TC has started well, did a great job vs Celta and a decent one in this game , did very well in a same 1v1 situation in the Celta game, I love Keylor but a decision has been made, the season has just started and our starting keeper has acquitted himself well in both games so far IMO, let’s see how the season goes, I think he was a far better keeper at AM, hopefully he can regain that consistency
He actually had a good game overall, but I still don't understand how it's so easy to put the ball between his feet and he hasn't addressed that. Everyone in the world knows this, except him it seems.
We are on here arguing about euros and how the club needs to save them yet we spent €40M on Courtois and he has been an all around disappointment. I won't even front like I didn't think this was stellar business to do. I wanted Navas to remain the starter and for us to get Courtois free, but accepted paying for him.
The worst run in Courtois' career 😶 pic.twitter.com/tG7aKNA2tW— B/R Football (@brfootball) September 1, 2019
IMO he saved us a point last night. No goalkeeper in the world apart from San Iker in his prime could do better with this defense. Last night they scored both of their goals from the rebound/2nd shot and our defense wasn't able to stop either of them.
Just rewatched this one. We really should've buried this match in the 55th-70th minutes. We had chances and were pushing but they score their goal and that killed our momentum and spirits for a bit before we clawed back to equalize. Kroos himself should've had at least one. I didn't like Benzema today. Was trying to do too much and was sloppy. Casemiro was everywhere as mentioned and Mendy showed some great signs. Varane really was good until their 2nd goal. After that he just looked lost. Ramos kinda ********ed us with that first horror give away. Like with Kroos, we were pushing up into more attacking positions when he lost it, so it was a scramble back and Varane was stuck in no man's land. From 25-65 mins I enjoyed the way we played and although it was still not gelling completely their were improvements in terms of ball movement and trying some new things. We should've used Mendy more to pin them back. And our mids need to release the ball much earlier so the defense can get set up in their box. Move it upfield quick. It's a shame we couldn't get 3 points headed into this craptastic early season NT break. More negative bullshit to read for two weeks. Ugh.
Second save was actually brilliant. And even then our defenders were not close to Villarreal attackers to clear the rebound.
Why is Case playing as a #10? Are we mad?— Eduardo Alvarez (@Alvarez) September 1, 2019 This pretty much sums up Case's match for me. Great effort but we were depending on him to do more than he's comfortably capable off. We have difficulty breaking down teams which sit back - not enough combinatorics () to create real chances. We ended up having to rely on our midfield to create chances through the middle and while Modric would have been my choice of sub it would have been him for Kroos or LV instead of Jovic.
I was including last season. He's had howlers on the regular, I didn't care for the transfer but I still thought he is better than what he's shown.
I’m not the one consistently whining about Courtois in every thread. Maybe all of you should accept that he is here to stay and that Keylor is gone. That ain’t changing.
What is there to discuss? His ability to save a near post? the fact it takes him years to get down to get a damn ball? His terrible ability on the ball? The only thing going for him was that he was the cheapest option on the market and he was willing to do anything to get back to Madrid.
