No he isn't, Courtois at 23 was already making big saves and going hard in the UCL, where was ATS? And he is still doing it till now..your boy is good no doubt but Courtois is just bigger and better

FirstbornWds:



I still maintain my stance that ATS is way better. He's got more saves and other nice abilities ahead of TC. I am not denying the fact that the latter is good though, but trust me, with a more solid backline like Athletico's, Chelsea or even Real Madrid's, TC wouldn't even come close.

haymekus:


Ats was at Borussia Mönchengladbach, he won the ucl in his first season for barce

pu7pl3:


thanks to MSN

FergieRaww:


Well Valdez didn't win the Fifa World cup Golden Glove did he ?!
now throw another name in this

pu7pl3:


thanks to MSN

Sommyroy10:
Good. Now explain to us how, in the same competition, where both starts for two different teams, one has 5 and the other has 1. You are calling a competition where both are from the same team and just one has to start.

pu7pl3:


so Barca's backline wasn't solid? Who you wan dey tell that one? Y'all hold the ball so it's always hard for opponents to penetrate...even Pinto, Bravo and Valdez seemed like good goalies

If Courtois was a Barca he would have been hailed as the best goal keeper of all time

FirstbornWds:



Lol. Trust him to avoid this.

Thanks to zidane and bbc

Can you compare Barcelona defense when they had Puyol, Marquez, abidal, alves e.t.c to now?

FirstbornWds:



Smh.... Your matter tire me

Sommyroy10:
Well if you always had the ball, and your opponents does nothing, your keeper shouldn't be making saves. Stegen has more saves albeit facing more shots (your possession talk doesn't work here) than Courtois.

Ngl, Courtois has been marvelous this season.

Sommyroy10:
Pu7l3, you dey change mouth gan. You said Courtois won UCL at age 23, and he countered back that Stegen won at his first season at Barca (23/24). Now you are saying it's because of MSN. Did Courtois single handedly carry his team to the UCL? One of the greatest champions league saves, lewandowski vs Stegen (it's not a benchmark, but if you want to put importance)

pu7pl3:


Go and sit down Cule...if Zamora trophies doesn't equal good goalkeeping why do y'all shout about Messi's number of Balon d'Or or golden boots?

Y'all continuously shoot yourselves in the foot

pu7pl3:


He has more saves but has still conceeded more..we need context here..

First of all he faces more shots
Secondly what kind of saves did he make? Where most of them directly at him or did he have to stretch...
How many points has his saves helped y'all accumulate..etc

pu7pl3:


Courtois was the best goalie that season when they reached the finals, his saves helped them reach the final and they played tough teams as the underdog while grinding out mostly 1-0 wins due to defensive/goalkeeping resilience..

Nagl ATS is good and phenomenal but Courtois is just better...

Sommyroy10:
Please correct me, didn't you guys, at some point,labe Courtois your worst signing? Since he moved to Madrid he has been a bit inconsistent, atleast we know of his abysmal season(s). We can't say that about Stegen, no matter the season Barcelona has had.
Post break Courtois was in some kind of god mode tho. Double close post saves up and down.

FirstbornWds:



Is that to say Valdez was a better keeper than Cassilas? After all, the former had more Zamora(s) than Iker and they both featured in the same league.... Even though Casillas was over 4 years older than him in La Liga.


Please don't bring Messi into the picture, he's a different kettle of fish that shouldn't be ridiculed with petty talks like this. Let's focus on the goalkeeping argument at hand

Sommyroy10:
My post you quoted was to counter your point. Not necessarily because we hold the ball, opponents don't see chances infact. Infact most chances opponents see against us are clear cut chances, big chances. The fact any scoreline that doesn't favor us, is at least modest is probably because of Stegen.

P.S The best bundesliga GK this season is Sommer (not official, but there's no denying) He has 7 clean sheets and Never has 15. Gulasci should be second, and he has 10cs


Post break, as a Madrid fan, who gave you the points, Ramos or Courtois. Official, it would be given to Ramos, as far as a goal was scored an outfield player would most likely be said to have grabbed the points for the team.

pu7pl3:


This is where you are heavily mistaken... Courtois was good throughout the whole season, he has been nothing but phenomenal in all the games he has played, almost perfect infact..he just carried that form till after the break

pu7pl3:


1+1=2 bruh...do the maths yourself...what applies to A should also apply to B
Enough with the post carrying/shifting..pick a lane and stay there

FirstbornWds:


Lol. You're actually the person derailing. Somehow, you still haven't answered my question!!!


As for the Messi matter, I could begin explaining things to you

Nikeballer:
Corner taken quickly= check
Champions League won quickly = check(6times)
EPL won quickly in record time = check


Trophy less FC in the mud

Liverpool fans are now throwing trophyless jibes around. Since the beginning of this millennium, I don't think there is any big team that has gone so many years without a trophy like Liverpool. Even Arsenal weren't that bad.

You guys were literally in obscurity. Just 2 years with a few trophies, you are now coming to mock Barcelona that has been swimming in trophies for a long while now?

haymekus:



Because he wasn’t given the chance
