It's difficult for the mass media and supporters to judge keepers. It normally takes a flashy save or a comedic error for them to lean either way. When you have goals like the Frankfurt second goal, which is not an obvious error as such, people don't tend to focus on the keeper much.

Thing is, while the lay-man may not see it, you have a wealth of analysts, keeping coaches, etc. around the club who can and should be noticing this. How a keeper who has not saved us in any big games for years now is never questioned is beyond me. He makes one or two of those handball saves in 1v1 situations where the ball hits him and people go crazy about how good he is.

Which other position would this be okay? Where you don't show up in any big game? While it's not the keepers job to pull out miracles game after game, you expect a top keeper to be an integral part of making it difficult to score against you, and be making top saves regularly. MATS is just fooling everyone into being his biggest supporter, it's pretty amazing.

We would have scored 2 goals already, if he is Cadiz keeper.

That Dembele shot and Alba cross.

Yup totally agree, specially the Dembele shot, and
There goal is totally on this frozen yellow face shit keeper
Any armature keeper is better than him, how Xavi cant
See that is beyond me.

Not so sure about that considering they have actually defenders who can defend. Not saying that Stegen is peak Neuer but the hate he is getting is beyond ridiculous at some times.

Well, he just made a mistake that cause us a goal.

That type of cross. He should have come out.

Compare that to Alba cross earlier which was a LOT harder to clear.

Moreover, compare that Dembele shot to 3rd Frankfurt goal.... Dembele shot is again a LOT harder

But in the meantime our opponents are getting pure goals scoring opportunities left and right. Not going to argue here about Stegen, he's definitely not the best keeper in the world and could do a lot better on various occasions but what I mean is that he's not the sole reason.

So what u mean is u want a defence that does not allow
Any chance or any shot on target, those goals that
Stegen are letting in could be saved by a random keeper
Give me a team that does not allow any shot on target or
Any chance, the best team in the world will always
Allow some shots ont targer.
If we had any any other keeper 5 years ago we
Would have won at least 1 CL.
