1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[Alik]

A bottom of the table team player cut through our players like they were cones. That is the bad thing in this action. Not Stegen`s reaction. He couldn`t have reached that ball even if he was half a meter taller.

The way things are with City we can buy back Bravo very cheap. The competition was helping both of them.

That wouldn't be such a bad idea after all...

But what Barca is gonna do with the great Cillessen ?

Straight swap for Bravo. Simples.

 

[God Serena]

It seems like the competition made both Mats and Bravo much better than they normally would have been. Mats in his CL only mode would be all over those balls he's freezing up on. His save against Bayern was save of the season and it's because he busted his ass to keep a ball out that nobody would have blamed him for conceding. And on the flip side, Bravo would not be conceding at the hilarious rate he's conceding over at Man City. In the back of my mind this worried me a bit but I still have faith in Mats and that if we improve as a team he will improve as well.

How did we manage to conceded two goals from open play? Defense's fault or Ter Stegen's brain farts?

Ter Stegen didn't play.

Ter Stegen didn't even play dude, all 3 goals were conceded by Masip, who replaced Cillessen for the 2nd half.

Ter Stegen didn't even play, the halves were split between Cillesen and Masip. Masip let in all three goals, but can't really blame him for any of them. The team played quite tentatively tonight, probably because it was a meaningless fixture and they wanted to prevent injuries.

I see, haha I was tricked by Live Soccer TV app that said Ter Stegen replaced Cillessen in the 46th minute.

 

[Messi983]

It was Marc Andre Masip

Good to hear some reason from you. I remember not to long ago you saying some of the following ideas:

1. Having 2 keepers is stopping MATS development
2. MATS brain farts are only because he doesn't get as much play time as Bravo
3. Why should we be the only team in the world with 2 WC keepers
4. GK is the only position that doesn't benefit from competition

Finally you're admitting just how incredibly wrong you were.

 

[DonAK]

Well, you were quite wrong yourself implying Bravo was a demi-god who would do well anywhere when he's been catastrophical in England.

 

[KingMessi]

The face when people assume MATS conceded even when he didn't play.

 

[Behrox]

Ter Stegen didn't play.

so you do admit it was MaTS's fault that we conceded. I rest my case
