I don't know if it's about him having trouble coming out, I just think it's the difference in the way Mourinho sets up his defence compared with Pep. Chelsea are far more conventional defensively than Bayern. He's really only there to stop shots whereas Neuer has spaces to fill. As much as I'm not a fan of the whole sweeper-keeper thing, it works at Bayern whereas it'd just confuse matters at Chelsea. Courtois is very calm, never taking the kinds of risks that Pep obviously loves but which Jose goes mental about. Two totally contrasting keepers working to their individual strengths for two totally contrasting managers.
