Marc-André ter Stegen vs Thibaut Courtois - who's better?

People on here shamelessly change their opinions all of the time, but I honestly think Courtois deserved the high esteem he had in the past. I thought he was absolutely fantastic when he was on loan at Atletico Madrid, and I’d be surprised if he didn’t show some of that extraordinary performance level at some point during his time at Chelsea as well. I have read the argument on here that «Courtois wasn’t even all that great at Atletico», but that’s utter bullshit. He had everything you’d expect from a top goalkeeper, and I can’t explain why he declined so soon. He’s only 27.

As for who’s better between him and Ter Stegen right now, that’s not even worth thinking about. The only redeeming quality Courtois has is height and reach, and he hardly ever seems to use that to his advantage.

He left himself vulnerable to the GL hammer of incredibly insightful judgement by not making an immediate impact, is all. And banter, of course.
