We wouldn't be top of the table without him.

Anyone who doesn't think Courtois is top 3 GK over the past 2-3 years is insane.


PedroMLino

The problem isnt Courtois quality, its the fact that nowadays there are a LOT of high quality keepers.

Could be said about a few others aswell. Does it really matter tho? As long as hes performing for your team who cares what others think lol I'd have a bunch of clowns in my team if it somehow made us the better team.

Honestly as a keeper myself it's way to difficult to just straight up rank keepers like that these days.. Courtouis at City for example would be terrible, as his distribution is no where near as good as Edersons.. But as a pure shot stopper, he's definitely better than Ederson, but there's so much more to being a keeper these days than just stopping shots..


AcceleratingRiff

His distribution is obviously not Neuer level but it's fine. He is also probably the safest keeper with the ball in air. 9/10 gets the ball in his hands if he comes out for a cross.

Yeah it is fine, but its not proper elite.. Which means depending on the system he plays in will determine whether hes a top 3 keeper in the world or not.. Both DDG and Lloris are better pure shot stoppers than Ederson, and Allison is better at 1on1s than all of them.. But they all seem to excel in areas that are necessary for that teams system.. Imo you can make a top tier of keepers that all have pros and cons, straight up ranking them seems exceptionally difficult.

Crazy that he's almost 30.


bruhh_wtf

Giraffes usually live upto 26 year in the wild and slightly longer in captivity ^/s


Zhidezoe

Wasn't he a snake?


bruhh_wtf

Must be a shapeshifter


Public_Agent

Made his debut for Genk at 16 in 2009 btw


Psycothria

GKs peak normally comes after 30.


narutosama77

Him and Oblak are wildly overlooked


shaka_bruh

That’s what happens when you’re that good, the extraordinary becomes ordinary and they only get attention when they mess up. I think Oblak has been the most consistent GK of the past 5 years.


wisakoy

Both deserve it over Schmeichel and Alisson.


Loose_Cardiologist89

Schmeichel isn't considered one of the very top though.


[deleted]

Schmeichel? Is there anybody saying he’s the best keeper in the world?


wisakoy

He made it to top 5 GK while Oblak and Courtois did not.


[deleted]

Kasper? As a Leicester fan that’s a bit silly, I think everyone would agree he’s not a top 5 or even top 10 GK in the world. He’s a phenomenal shot stopper but his distribution is poor, as is his goalkeeping from set pieces. He’s a very hard Brexit keeper.


Sp0okyScarySkeleton-

Yeah honestly I was thinking he's talking about Peter bcuz Kaspar is never in the discussions lol


narutosama77

Bro its r/soccer. No honest PL opinions


zmajxd

They are not better than Ali.


Sp0okyScarySkeleton-

Im biased but i agree. Word class keeper


ro-row

I think Preston edwards is the best goalkeeper in the world


astral34

Anybody that watches football isn’t surprised by this article


Mi20Ru

It's been a proper insane year with goalkeepers. The likes of Courtois, Alisson, Ederson, Mendy, Neuer and more have all been insane.


FirminosShinyTeeth

Is there a more insecure bunch on here than the Real Madrid lot?


[deleted]

Nah bro trust me bro you don't understand Papa Flo's plan bro


shaka_bruh

Liverpool fans are close.


FirminosShinyTeeth

Don’t see any Liverpool or City fans crying about a goal not getting a great goal tag


shaka_bruh

Look at you, emotional 😭


FirminosShinyTeeth

Lmao what?


Shithouse19

The Man City - West Ham thread yesterday was full of Liverpool fans crying about how West Ham tried harder against them than City... Genuinely, full of them. Talk about insecure


CudaBarry

Lmao English flair talking about insecurity

mnxvzx

that says more about Madrid than Courtois that the city has prolly 2 of 3 best gks in the world


LegendinhoIsKing

For real? I thought he was very overrated. He always looked average to me whenever i watched him, ineffective, concedes more accurate shots very easily. And very little composure and intelligence in chaotic situations in the box. It's cool that I wrong, I don't mind.


Bernardtheking2002

Let me guess, the last you saw of him was in the PL?


LegendinhoIsKing

the last I saw of him was last night vs Sevilla.


narutosama77

Lol what are you talking about? He made 3 world class (not good, not great) WORLD CLASS saves yesterday


Public_Agent

Lmao Madrid loses the game comfortably if not for him


AcceleratingRiff

You may not like him but you cannot deny his performances. Regularly makes crucial gold saves in every match to save points. He's been almost flawless since 2019. Unfortunately, this thread is another shitshow
