Goalie

Thibaut Courtois – 6

Being the man between the sticks is no small task, but with Keylor Navas on the back burner, nothing less than excellence is expected from Courtois. Against Girona though, Courtois was anything but. The Belgian has yet to stop any of the five penalties he’s faced this season, despite being the hero of doing so back with Chelsea. Girona’s second goal was a near post header that could have been stopped by most, but again Courtois let the ball squeak by. Many are calling for Navas to take the number one spot once again.
