    saved our assess a few times yesterday. I don't think a beer from Zidane is enough, he should buy him a few of these crazy ass expensive Glenfiddich bottles...

    I didn't lose faith with Tbow, even though there were calls for his head and that Navas was 100 times the keeper he is.

    There is no one more deserving of the best goalkeeper in the world title right now over Courtois

    Credit to Tibo, I was on him after his poor form to start the season but he has really turned it around.

    Yup he is doing what he was bought to do, make a difference in games, be a strong last line of defence like the keepers in all the top teams out there

    And to think there were many here who were opposed to signing him because we had Navas. It took him a bit to get acclimatized but we’re seeing the best of him now and it’s amazing. He’s saved our asses multiple times and kept us in games. What a deal we got.

    Navas was a damn hero. He was obviously declining and starting to be more and more error prone but I guess that some people just can't put emotions aside.

    It was so fcking annoying to constantly hear Navas is better than Courtois bla bla. I'm grateful to him but I was really glad when he got shipped to PSG so I don't need to read anymore of that diarrhea.

    Again do not forget how awful Thibaut was before deriding those that questioned his place in this team. The fact that he had the mental fortitude to not completely crumble and not just turn it around but put himself back into the conversation of top 3 keepers on the planet is massive. Props to him.

    Absolutely, he was awful at the beginning of the season. Its crazy how big of an impact confidence has on his game, mad props to the club for standing by him and even doubling down by selling Keylor.

    Still mad at him for ducking away from the shot vs Levante
    All other saves are standard saves any world class GK is supposed to make.
    Maybe I'm too harsh on him but he still doesn't give me confidence the way Navas used to.

    PSG conceded 4 by Amiens and Navas was one of the worst players on the pitch. In the start of the season people posted every Navas save and sighed in how great he still is, but now that he's been having his casual complete trainwrecks of matches nobody really mentions him anymore.

    Never got any confidence from Navas. Despite winning three times in a row. Always felt there was a mistake in him. He is a roll of the dice. Could make a miracle save, could practically put the ball in the net himself.

    Yeah he almost lost his place to Arreola, if we had kept Keylor I dont think Tibo gets his place or confidence back.

    Almost lost his place to Areola? He has 3 La Liga starts, 1 each in September, October and November lol.

    Go back to the threads for those couple of weeks, Hazard also has way more starts then James but that really doesnt tell us anything does it.

    Who would have thought that Thibaut will race in F1. And multiple world champions like Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel will sit out the race and watch him on TV. :ROFLMAO:
