Do any eds or posters know if Christophe Lollichon still works with the goalkeepers at the club? Believe him and Courtois didn't see eye to eye and he was forced out at the time. With Cech back at the club has he been brought back? Was widely regarded as one of the best goalkeeping coaches in the world so would be surprised considering our current goalkeeping situation. If Hilario is our sole goalkeeping coach then I'm not surprised by Kepa's performances this season.
{Ed002's Note - Lollichon has not left as such, he is no longer the GK coach but he works as a GK scout for Chelsea. I have no idea why you have taken a dig at Hilario’s ability as a coach, but I am sure it must be based on some specifics.}

Thanks Ed. A friend of mine is a previously contracted goalkeeper at the club who now plays lower league football. He is allowed to return for pre season training at Chelsea and has informed me that he doesn’t believe Hilario is a particularly good coach (which is an opinion shared by some of the other keepers apparently) . That’s just his opinion though so must be taken with a pinch of salt and I have no way of ratifying his comments. You may have heard otherwise that Hilario is a fantastic coach and that may be the case. It does seem to me like quite a responsibility for a first coaching role though.
{Ed002's Note - It is certainly not the opinion of Petr Cech.}
