Claudio Bravo

[Icarium]

Horrible distribution. But he is still in top 5 gk over Europe.

ter Stegen has really not shown anything to prove that he should be the undisputed started at Barca. His supposedly hugely impressive distribution right now sits at 83.8% pass accuracy (in UCL over 6 games - with 21 passes per game) while the clueless Bravo is at 82.4% (in La Liga over 21 games - with 19 passes per game).

Ter Stegen attempts more longer passes, than Bravo (like his almost assist against Atletico). It's those long passes, that are so amazingly accurate.

According to Squawka, the average pass length for Bravo over 21 La Liga games is 29.52 m. For ter Stegen over 6 UCL games is 30 m. Not a big difference.

Maybe you didn't notice but Neymar's penalty incident yesterday arose from Bravo's quick thinking and perfect long pass to Messi at the halfway line.

I would take the better shot stopper over the better distributer .people keep discussing who has the better passing skills and forget the main fundamentals needed for a GK
MATS will move to starting spot sooner or later .but as it stands now one can't deny Bravo has been really good here

His distribution is horrible. Every longer ball ended up at the opponents legs.

Marc-Andre is knocking on the door.

I think if MaTS does well in the UCL, he will take Bravo's spot in the league as well later on the season.

It's not like we are talking about huge differences in shot blocking ability.

That stat alone says nothing.

I'd take Neuer, Courtois, De Gea, Cech, Lloris over him. Stats-wise I'd also take Sommer, Benaglio, Adrian before I pick him. No idea how you see someone like Bravo as a Top 5 gk.

Bravo attempts as many long passes but they're rarely accurate or not accurrate at all.

One has played regularly, the other not so much until lately.

Playing regularly does a lot of good. People often ignore this when comparing players and MAtS has done quite well still.

I remember when Bravo arrived he said that in every team he has started as the #2, but worked his way up to become the undisputed starter. At Barcelona he started as the #1 and it looks like MAtS might work his way up and dethrone Bravo from the starting position next season.

A bit ironic.
