Courtois has admitted his frustration after another draw thwarted Chelsea's
attempts to climb the table.
The Blues' fourth draw from their last five league games came courtesy of
Diego Costa's 91st-minute equaliser against Manchester United on Sunday.
Chelsea are now 13th in the table - 17 points off the top four - and
Courtois lamented his side's inability to record more league victories.
"We've had too many draws to climb the table," Courtois told the club's
official website. "In other games, like against Watford and West Brom, we
should have won, so it's a pity because we could have maybe been ninth or
eighth but we are where we are.
"The Newcastle game next week is a very important one where we have to get
the three points. We've had too many draws at Stamford Bridge and the
supporters deserve a victory.
"After that we play in the Champions League and FA Cup against two great
sides (Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City) and we have to try to win
those games because the only way to save our season is to reach the final in
one or both of them."
Regarding the match against United, he said: "After their goal we had some
chances and in the end we scored, so it was a good draw.
"Obviously we wanted to win but sometimes you have to take a point. We had a
positive reaction after going 1-0 down.
"In the first half and up until their goal it was me making more saves but
at the end (David) De Gea made some good saves; I think the one when it was
1-1 (from Diego Costa) was the best one.
"It's obviously very good that we're fighting back to get these draws
against good sides like Manchester United and Everton, it's good for the
spirit of the team, but we want to win games."
