1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

Of course he does, in most 1 v 1, he just stops 2 m from the striker and waits for the finishing blow, closes the angle partially. Look at top keepers, they try to get as close to the striker as possible, force a dribble, move him to the outside, tighten the angle.

In the Asspanyol game, their scorer had time to stop the ball, look at the goalkeeper, position himself for a short angle shot, while MATS was just waiting for him to take the shot, already preparing his handball stance.

It's obvious you let a lot more shots in, you are putting no pressure on the striker. Unless the shot is close enough so he can pull one of his reflexes (which are good btw), there is no time for him to cover the distance, because he is still in no mans land in terms of distance and angle coverage.

He just learned this shit wrong, no other explanation, or has bad instincts.

Comments are pretty critical of him

Haters gonna hate but don't see anything wrong with his tweet.

Of course we always want to win but if we can't it's better to get a point than lose in a derby. At least bring something positive before next important games.

MAtS never had the height for this kind of saves and now is having issues with his explosiveness due to his knee issues too.

Imagine having Keylor and getting Donna for free. Unfortunately, Barca never would have been really interested because he is not good with his feet.

How many penalties Ter Stegen stopped for Barca? 1?

Nah he's actually saved quite a few for us since he got here. This season however it's very clear he's simply not a world class GK. He's lost what he first had when he came. The difference between him and Courtois is night and day and its sad to watch.
