That's more or less a re-phrasal of the same point, at least as long as he keeps being shit for the NT. Given you think he's wasting his time there, you should be fine with that proposal as well.

And someone who doesn't perform in meaningless ties should be trusted to perform in meaningful ties? His performances for the U21 in the Euros last year weren't exactly stellar either. Maybe they were also not meaningful enough then. Those "meaningless ties" decide who will play if Neuer is...

You were the one who suggested he doesn't appreciate it enough to muster the necessary concentration. No other 2nd or 3rd choice GK has put in such an array of shit performances for the national team. If he can't concentrate for whatever reason he shouldn't be there. This "no one but Neuer...

Believe what you wish. Many players consider it an honor to be called up, both goalkeepers and outfield players, whether they play or not.

I'm sure many NT followers would be delighted, as there are other players who appreciate the spot.

And those were about the only ones. He had a bit more this season than the last two or three, I'll give you that. How many clangers did Ter Stegen have? Trapp? Leno? Ter Stegen has been terrible in almost every game he played for Germany. I'd much prefer it if they had called up Zieler, or...

Unless he gets injured. In which case we have a problem. *Neuer* doesn't make half the mistakes as any out of Ter Stegen, Leno or Trapp. But unlike those three, when Neuer makes a mistake it's an immediate worldwide headline thanks to Bild.

No, that wasn't Leno in these gifs. That's the same goal from three different angles.

He's been very successful hiding this superior skill in games for German national teams.

German media and pundits aren't criticizing him because of the goal. They're criticizing him because of his unnecessary and failed attempts at proving he's better than Neuer. Stupid attempts at proving how good he is with the ball at his feet, putting Die Mannschaft in danger twice or thrice...

Bürki has been very hit-and-miss. Great saves mixed with horrible brainfarts. He always has an error in him. If I had to identify the weakest spots in the current Dortmund squad, the GK would certainly be among them. MATS to Dortmund is a question of money. If they sign Götze, and keep 3 out of...

Games against Gladbach are never easy games for Bayern. Might drop points against Hertha too. It's an away game, and a scoreless draw is entirely possible.

Dortmund.

Doubtful. They're just in the process of extending Neuer's contract until 2021 (not sure if it isn't already done). He'll be 35 by that time. Oliver Kahn retired at 39. MAtS will be 29 in 2021. With the amount of young German goalkeeper talent lining up I doubt they'll sign a 29 year old, even...

It is unclear now, however, therefore I doubt he'd come in case ter Stegen leaves.

Leno already said more than once this fall that he won't consider joining a club with an "unclear goalkeeper situation". Probably with having MATS situation in mind.

And Trapp, Zieler and Fährmann aren't that type either. Point being, performance is never the only issue unless we're talking about Messi. If there are several players with not much between them in terms of performance, other things matter. For example Pep and Rummenigge (or maybe it was...

Of course attitude plays a part. That's why Kuranyi went out, for just one example. That's why Podolski is still in, too. I don't know where that myth "performance is all that matters" is coming from. There aren't many jobs in the real world that are assigned purely according to performance...

You don't see how statements of intent of challenging for the No 1 spot during a major tournament, and over Neuer of all players, may cause concern over potential trouble? Well, I hope you're right. I'm not convinced.

Not sure if serious? Looking at all competitions: Goals per game Ter Stegen: 1.7 Goal per game Leno: 1.35 Goals per game Trapp: 0.44 Goals per game Zieler: 1.7 Goals per game Fährmann: 1 Goals per game Neuer: 0.5 Number of goals conceded might have something to with how many games they...
