Chelsea's defence this season has looked a shambles. They've been poor in Europe and highly unconvincing in the league. That Christensen is constantly riding his luck with handballs, Cahill keeps passing to the other team and Courtois I have never particularly rated anyway, think that's rightly so too because it's rare you see him put in a top class performance or pull off some top saves. He saves few shots throughout a game, usually because the defence is pretty solid but often when a team can get say 2 or 3 shots on target, they will score. Just look at the WBA game, although the early goal didn't stand, it was a damn sloppy goal to be conceding and should be something any keeper is saving. I know not everyone will agree, and he's certainly better than Migs, but Courtois isn't anywhere near being a top class keeper. He's just been fortunate enough to get away with it by having such a strong defence in front of him during his time at the Chavs.
