This. Ochoa is mediocre but somehow managed to put in world class performances at the world cup.

- Thread starter kaddel11

Still think that Marc should start all the games , but it's hard to bench Andre if he keeps playing like that.

Still half the people on this forum wanted to sign Ochoa so badly. He is a tool compared to Bravo.

Exactly! Remember he gifted neymar and bale, and that is vs real and barca alone.

Cmon now if we were to reject keepers for brain farts we would have no keeper at all, Valdes made plenty of mistakes, pretty much every keeper does. These mistakes occur more often when you player for a lesser team.
Say what you want about the 2 keepers but the gap between them isn't as wide as some people make out.

Every keeper makes brainfarts(especially the younger ones). MAtS have had a 2-3 of them too. I think he pointed out that Bravo wasn't all that even though he had a good WC ALTHOUGH he has done quite well at Barca so credit where it's due.
As for your post then I disagree. I think the gap between them regarding distribution is big. ter Stegen is far more superior.

That wasn't my point. I agree that Bravo has upped his game since he came here. I was just saying that to say nobody here knew Bravo before the World Cup was a bit laughable. This is because we'd already known him from his brainfarts at Real Sociedad. That is all.
Ter Stegen still, in my opinion, has more talent than Bravo. Bravo, though, has experience and the confidence that comes from the coach believing in him to start consistently. We'll see what Ter Stegen can really do next season, when/if he becomes the default starter.

Calma, calma
As Kerrybai mentioned, it's not his distribution that can elevate him over Bravo, it's his sweeping. Bravo's distribution is good enough for a Barca goalkeeper, he makes enough accurate passes to Busquets and Iniesta that he gets his job done as required. You don't have to be Xavi or Xabi Alonso to play in goal for Barca. In shot stopping, Bravo still seems better than Ter Stegen but I can't definitively side with one or the other as TS has barely had a chance to display his skill in that department.
Anyway, TS gets way too much attention here when compared to what he's actually done for Barca.

He's said to be good with distribution and sweeping, which is why we picked him up from Mallorca. He's in the Juvenil B as part of the 1998 generation. I haven't seen him play personally, but I have heard good things.
