Fraser Forster

Cech, Courtois, De Gea, Lloris all better than him

So is Hart IMO.

top 10 for me in order

Courtois
De Gea
Cech
Lloris
Begovic
Hart
Forster
Howard
Szczesny
Mignolet

The fact it is on the Chelsea board and we have two of the best keepers in the league = poor wum.

Forster is underrated, the best in the league he is far from.

No wum. Been watching him for last 3 years, and he is top class. No coincidence southampton are keeping clean sheets week in week out.
Reason i wrote this is that the second cska goal would have been saved by Forster. Harts bollox.
Both Chelsea keepers are class though.

Fair enough , I do rate him, I just don't think he's even close to Courtois.

Really wouldn't mind him given a go as England no. 1 though.

Do you think Courtois is better than Cech?

I haven't seen many Chelsea games this season.

I have seen a lot of United games however and De Gea has been outstanding.

In short, yes I do. It is hard to be completely unbiased, some will go with what they know, others with the shiny new thing but I really do think Courtois edges it and the manager clearly agrees. I still rate Cech as a top, top keeper but Coutios is that bit more nimble, edges Cech in distribution and I’d say has better anticipation, he makes things look really easy. Courtois is capable of seemingly impossible saves, we’ve not seen that much of it yet in the PL but he became a cult figure for it in Spain hence the so called ‘Thibauting’ internet craze. To fully appreciate him though you need to see him over a few games because as I said he makes thing look easy with his anticipation and command, he’ll just pluck a ball which lesser keeper would flap at, perhaps still save and look eye catching, Courtois just deals with it.

I genuinely think things like this should be taken into account when picking a squad. Set ones reputation and perception can skew your rating.
