1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[BarcaGirl]

Of course he's mad. Should have had a clean sheet, but of course our defence screws up.

 

[Flavia]

I haven't seen the game yet, just the last 15 min. So I saw Ajax's goal. Not his fault.

But it's ridiculous what Lucho is doing, throwing him like this in the CL. And by the looks of it, I won't be surprised if Masip starts in the cdr. This is really wrong, and can hurt the team in the process.

 

[raskolnikov]

If we go into the ko phase with a madrid tyep gk set up it will hurt us.

 

[dakt]

So all goals we received this season were with him at the gate?
It looks badly, but I'm sure it's just pure bad luck which is shaking his confidence. Lucho should put him against weaker teams in la liga.

 

[Jadentheman]

Stegen is getting screwed over. I can see it. He doesn't deserve it like that. If he was routinely playing in La Liga and getting used to this defense he would feel more at ease and confident. But they throw him into the fire constantly with little to no experience and you expect him to give top GK performances? I think not.

This rotation is poison and poor Stegen will be looked upon poorly for it. It's not fair

Just remember all it took was his early injury and Bravo was defacto. An unfortunate turn of events for what should have been our #1 and confidently so GK

 

[Flavia]

He´s not focused.

He's not playing enough, no game rhythm. Having a gk playing only the CL is really stupid from Lucho. I don't know what he's thinking.

Messed up that we might have 3 GKs for 3 competitions.

Should be 1 for LL and CL, 1 for CDR and 1 Senior GK like Pinto for warming the bench/filling up in case of injuries.

 

[eye-switcher]

I Think his positioning is off, from the Little i have seen him he seem rooted in goal to much, doesnt seem Confident. I hope its my Eyes and he really starts to shine and shows some presence.

 

[evilhita666]

I agree, he seems to hesitate too much... Not on the goal, of course, because that one is all on our defense...

 

[Pepe Silvia]

He's not playing enough, no game rhythm. Having a gk playing only the CL is really stupid from Lucho. I don't know what he's thinking.

It makes absolutely no sense.

 

[CuleLife4Life]

Playing him only in CL is suicide esp when we get into the KO stages. Bravo for La Liga and CL while MATs gets lower level Liga teams and CDR would be a perfect setup. Masip would have to be our "emergency" GK. Playing 3 GKs for 3 competitions of varying levels is stupid.

Bravo has been amazing but we haven't exactly played the best of La Liga yet so of course we can't fully judge. Meanwhile MATs is getting exposed to the best teams in Europe even from minor leagues. Anyone his age and with his experience or lack of would be nervous.

 

[jackraiden15]

This episode is favoritism at it's best, MATs is thrown in to CL with little to no playing time and is expected to deliver, o.0.

 

[ScoobySquats]

MAtS should be given the Copa and the smaller La Liga teams while Bravo has UCL and larger opponents in the Liga.
Other wise it should have been Bravo for Copa and UCL and Marc for La Liga

 

[Richard.H]

This is hands down Lucho's biggest mistake so far with the team. Why in the world he is doing this I don't know. He is ruining the kids confidence and at the same time putting the team in jeopardy.

He should just have the copa games until he feels confident enough to take on the CL games. We have a confident keeper in Bravo who would surely love to play as many matches as he can.

 

[Autumn]

I would absolutely love to see what would be said in Bravo's thread if their situations were reversed.

I somehow doubt it would be so understanding .
