1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[Mandrake]

Let's say you are right and Mats limit will be "90% what Bravo is".

I am more than happy with a 90% Bravo for the next decade over a 100% Bravo for the next two or three years.

Of course he can prove himself to be 60%, which I doubt, considering what he have already showed.

But can also prove to be 100%, 105%, 110%, etc.

Chances are that we are not going to be disappointed.

It looks like we've got 40% Bravo for a year. Great deal.

Yeah, on your twisted mind the mistake prone Mats is 40% the mistake prone Bravo we have been seeing in City.

Stop man, have some dignity.

The one time he makes an important save, we still concede on the same play

He's hardly the first ever keeper to be rooted on the spot when a shot they're unprepared for comes curling in from a crowd.

Mannequin challenge king? Listen to yourself. He's probably the only player out there who didn't have a total nightmare.

Somehow it will be his fault. Just watch the thread.

Why is he frozen all the time?

Vela's shot on the post in the dying minutes.
He stands and watches the ball.

I know that he couldn't catch the ball, but with other Gks, they at least jump towards the ball even though they can't reach it.

This looks so strange and as if he is totally not interested in goalkeeping.

He's the only keeper that does it every single game. Even on weak shots from far out.

Mannequin challenge king

Came here to post exactly this.

 

[jairzinho]

I blocked my eyes every time a ball was played back to him.

 

[Devils]

The goal was 100% not his fault. It was pathetic to see how he was getting grilled for it in the chatbox.

MAtS was the least of our worries today.

And you seem to be under disillusion that he is the only player being critized.

Most people will agree the goal was not his fault, including myself.

However, the way HE IS ALWAYS FROZEN really worries me. Makes absolutely no effort to dive for shots that come from outside the box. That shot by Vela could've easily gone in. Mind you, he's a professional keeper. He should be diving for any shot that comes from outside the box unless it's a laser cannon ala Roberto Carlos.


How I miss Bravo. Master shot stopper and very fundamental keeper.

 

[God Serena]

Weak shots from far out generally don't require the keeper to move. It'd probably be best for him to go for those but that's hardly anything to harp on him for. Unless he stands there and watches a ball roll in there's really not much there but going back and finding something to be mad about. There was no complaining about him doing that when the team was winning games because it's not actually a problem.

And you seem to be under disillusion that he is the only player being critized.

Where do I even imply such a thing? You're the deluded one.

 

[Kuchi]

He is turning into a mystery for me, like he has no sense of anticipation, at all..it has to be mental, since i cant explain his behaviour...

He should be benched, maybe he wakes up
