None of the goals in the last game was his fault either.

Unless you mean the mythical corner flag one lol

Can't blame him at all for the goal, it was 99% on Masch and 1% Piqué, but once again showed no reaction... I'm not saying he could have saved it, but he didn't show any kind of reflexes...

Don't know if you've ever played as a GK, but a big deflection usually ends up with the GK having almost no chance. He was wrong footed so not much he could've done. Unless you mean he should've twisted his ankles.

Yeah, I said that he couldn't have saved it anyway, deflections are unexpected and that's why they usually end up in goals, but to me ter Stegen seems defeated even before the ball goes in...

I'm not sure what you mean? He had it covered before it took a deflection and he couldn't have positioned himself to try to save it even if he wanted and it seemed like he tried, but he lost balance as expected

I will watch the videos again to get a better view and come back later, because upon first look I saw no reaction from him... Still, the guy is jinxed and the rest of the team isn't helping, when he's on his way to a clean sheet someone screws up, might as well score own goals, hahaha...

Actually no.
Watch his feet during the goal, he was positioned to dive to the far post, considering how the player shot it. His reactions very really good to try and change direction at the last second, but it wasn't fast enough to let him save it.

MAtS played a good game in my opinion. This goal was 100% on Mascherano for going into "Sunday jog in the park"-mode causing the mother of all turnovers in our own half.

Must be really frustrating for him to not get that clean sheet. Oh well, even with the goal there were enough positives in this match that I hope he can build confidence from. His passing, especially the repeated long ball to Roberto, was really excellent.

Not at fault, a deflection when the keeper is already committed to one side at that short distance & ball speed is very hard to react

I'm seriously perplexed by how people aren't up in arms over him conceding again. I mean yeah, it obviously wasn't his fault, but neither were the goals against Celta, so... What gives?
