Healthy and in form he is the best CM in the world. :xavi:

Except it's not the exact same thing. Neuer intercepted an opposing player from getting the ball in a potentially dangerous situation and also had little time to place the ball well. He did the right thing. Ter Stegen's scene was part blunder part unlucky. It was unnecessary.

I cannot help but agree with your post. The untrained eye is quick to mock a goal keeper (ex-goal keeper here btw =) ) I find it hard to tell someone's mental state from the Television but I would also guess Ter Stegen to be the more emotional and less the cool type of goal keeper who can...

Of course shit happens. Neuer makes a fool of himself against Gladbach every season. You just didn't pick a good example. Completely different scenario. That wasn't a blunder.

Blunder? Most of the time what he did there works and a goal would've been more likely had he not interfered. Unfortunately it fell right to Stankovic who took it perfectly.

Bundesliga teams didn't get ashamed in Europe. 4 teams made the CL knockouts (Borussia Dortmund even being in the lower half of the Bundesliga table at the time) and Schalke and Leverkusen were one goal and one penalty shot away from eliminating Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, and it wouldn't...

No. I just see him all season long. Had an incredible season minus his usual blunder against Gladbach. Doesn't face as much as some other goal keepers, but what he faces is usually of very high quality due to the insane defensive style. Has pulled of quite an amount of absolute stunner saves...

No, he won't. Guaranteed. Definitely has #2 potential, but I don't see him reach Neuer's level, which is not a slight.

Anyone who has watched a decent amount of Bayern knows that Neuer wasn't just a passenger. He faces an extremely high RATE of great chances due to the defensive style and saved Bayern a good number of times when the score was still close with wonderful saves despite not having much to do before...

Very good game today from him. Robbery being out and Thiago being back is doing him good. He gets more of the ball through the middle and link up play between him, Lewandowski, and Müller is also much more active, and he excels at that. Many of his problems are a systematic problem. Can't...

Manuel Neuer > Oliver Kahn

It's far fetched. He just never was on that level. Very incomplete goal keeper, IMO. He got so much credit due to him being the Real Madrid favorite and being on the best Spain team ever.

Boateng > Hummels for sure Even if Hummels gets back to his best he has no case over Boateng. The Boateng of right now is already the best German center back since Kohler, IMO, and he is only 26.

Fixed that for you. There is no one else with his combination of size, speed, versatility (can play all defensive positions if needed and has no problems with 3 or 4 man defense), defensive abilities, and quality going forward (his direct passing forward is sublime). The guy has dominated a CL...

I rate David De Gea, btw. Wasn't meant as a slight. I'm just a massive Neuer worshiper right now. David De Gea is already very good and will probably become a great goal keeper in his own way. :p

But not Neuer level ridiculously good. Probably never will be because I don't see him ever becoming as well rounded in all aspects like Neuer.

His sense of timing when to come out and when not to is close to impeccable. He also doesn't hesitate. He sees the situation and then makes a quick and accurate calculation and then there he goes. That's not something that can necessarily be taught. It's unreal to me that you already expect...

Right. He prevented one on one chance.

Cringe worthy. Clearly haven't watched him.

That's the new angle his haters take. "He's not THAT good people just think that because of his pointless antics..." Not true though. You take away the antics and he's still the most incredible goal keeper I've ever seen. His antics just make him extra fun to watch.
