1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[xavi_the_Boss]

Oh, come on.

I also think Bravo should be our number 1 for a while, but you perfectly know stats can be misleading and it can't be the sole reason to say Mats is the worse one.

Take his last goal conceded, for instance. Somehow this kind of things luckily almost never happens with Bravo.

What things?

 

[God Serena]

Did you guys see goals conceded stats between the two. Per minutes played and all?
Tells you everything about who's better.

All it tells me is one keeper gets to play every week and the other doesn't. A commonly overlooked fact that holds more weight than most people want to acknowledge.

 

[Kerrybai]

Sorry mate but that's naive. Lucho would never do that. Dropping one player because another is unsettled rarely happens and even less so in Barca under man like Lucho,

Surely there would be some pressure from behind the scenes on Lucho to keep Ter Stegen? Bravo for me is the better keeper by a considerable distance, but with Ter Stegens age we have potentially our number 1 keeper for 10 plus years. Not many clubs have the luxury.

I'm not taking the "last goal" or any goal in particular. I am talking about 30+ games sample

His last goal conceded was just an example.

I lost count of how many times we were sorry here about defense's brainfarts leading him to lose his clean sheet.

 

[mark1nhu]

What things?

Brainfarts from our defenders.

 

[JamDav1982]

Brainfarts from our defenders.

Bravo plays on front of the same defenders and cant remember them being an more/less error prone for either keeper.

Part of a keepers job is still to bail the team out after a brain fart anyway so no real excuse.

Both great keepers but undoubtedly for me Bravo has been better.

I also think Bravo is currently better.

I am just pointing out that stats can be misleading and should not be the definitive reason to declare someone better.

IF Bravo had worse luck than Mats with defenders' brainfarts, people would wrongly claim him as worse.

That's my point.

 

[Butaan4barca]

Ter Stegen knows if he stays he will be the starting goalkeeper for Barça for god knows how long. When he moves now where will he play? Liverpool? Don't make me laugh.

sure he knows. But it makes me think, the keeper who really wants to stand out and be first choice of barca, should get ahead of the other one we have and be un disputed no.1.

I could put together an extensive highlight reel of our defenders making goal costing mistakes that are 100% on them, that Bravo has failed to save.

That's like literally the weakest argument imaginable.

Ter Stegen's conceded goal from Iñaki Williams vs. Athletic Bilbao

[Luftstalag14]

The goal is not on him.

Poor pitch by the way, not sure if it is because the winter or something else.

 

[God Serena]

Mathieu actually stops tracking his man. Like, he slams the brakes.

Our defending doesn't do our keepers any favors.

 

[El Flaco]

And Rakitic didn't bother to put some pressure on Aduriz...

Ter Stegen is not to blame for this goal - again.
