It definitely is not "fucking ridiculous". Do you think courtois would've done the exact same thing over on the other side of the pitch?

Great attitude as always, brehme. Not even going to bother arguing with you, but if you think most GK's ofthe past 20 years wouldn't have reacted to that you are completely lost.
From tonight alone out of just 2 other games....

Liverpool-Milan

- Maignan in the first Liverpool goal, almost statue-esque. Deflection of course when the player was trying a vertical pass, but you'd be burying Handa for that, of course. Just like people were burying him for conceding a goal from Perisic's face when Marusic had initially shot it 180 degrees elsewhere. Either way, Maignan, no reaction to the 1st goal.

- Maignan in the second Liverpool goal was just waiting for a free Salah to control a relatively high ball in the small area and just stood there. Crucify him? Actually yes, that was a disaster of goalkeeping (though probably offside).

The irony is that Maignan was actually pretty solid tonight. But if this was Inter's GK he'd be hearing about how useless he is.


Sheriff-Shakhtar

- For the 2nd goal, Pyatov just stands there while Sheriff's header goes in. Booooo!


About our game, Courtois did not do a single save where he had to move his body more than 30cm. Check the full highlights again. Not a single one. The only big save was the first, with his trailing leg on the floor. All other shots on target were straight on his face or body with the corner being the only exception where he had to move a little. But you would also assume that was 'straight at the keeper' from a quick look.



I get that conceding goals isn't nice, it's a terrible feeling. But reacting this way about it is silly. Blame Handanovic for fumbling that pass early in the game, but not for the goal which was just bad defending and even worse luck.

Courtois is in his prime years. We forget how old Handa is, no way can he react to that and move his large frame in time to make a save. You guys want Handa to defy the laws of physics :lol:

Would have done what?

brehme explained well that even Courtois' magical night didn't include some absolute game-savers like it has been hyped everywhere. Can you explain how Courtois would have saved that goal Real scored?

Also a good point. :D Like what the fuck people expect from Handa? To move like 30-year-old?

I didn't say anything about him saving it, I just expect a reaction from him. If he can turn his head and watch the ball go in he could've also at least moved his foot or hand simultaneously.

You guys think he's a 40-year old statue who has a 50 second interval loading time from his brain to his body. No, he's a professional athlete. I'm very confident we will see him ball watch this season more than he has in the past for sure.

Let's not forget the huge save he did today when it was 1-0 for us. I might not think he was ever an elite goalkeeper, but that was pretty huge today, so props.

Good performance. Can't recall any mistakes worthy of note. He even left the goal line to collect the ball a couple of times. Let's hope this becomes the norm rather than an exception.

Great as usual. Shame we didn't get the clean sheet and I blame Vecino and Dumfries for it. One of them if not both should be covering that area rather than marking each other in the arc area.
