I love this fella, composed, experienced, is a bit of a unit therefore also intimidating. Bar that mistake v Sevilla he has been impeccable all season.

As I remember he didnt play on Cup or UCL.
 

6 Ballons for Messi

but what if he wins 7??
I'd say, swap the keepers' responsibilities for next season.
Bravo in copa and CL, mats in liga.
This way bravo will play in high quality matches and mats will get the much needed experience as a young player.
Then we see who gets to be the undisputed n1 in their 3rd season in barca.

Bravo would suffer far more with such limited playing time. He was already pretty poor prior to signing, and a lack of playing time would likely see that form return. If we must keep both keepers for next season I'd be happy with it staying the way it is with ter Stegen possibly getting some Liga games every now and then, but to be honest I'd prefer we got rid of one or the other (The choice should be obvious) and played the one we keep in all competitions, for consistency's sake.

You said wait til there's something to criticize. You can't go "No shit" when someone points something to criticize out. Come on now.

It's hardly anything to speak on. He made one mistake, and everyone acknowledged as a mistake, but nothing more than that.

If we got rid of one, and the remainder got injured (like MaTs did at the beginning of the season), we could get screwed. Unless Masip stays and steps up.

Honestly, Masip is more than good enough to be our backup keeper. He's not rated all that highly for one reason or another but he could certainly do the job if needed. Injuries to keepers are so rare that such a situation would be red alert to the highest level anyways.

Valdes in his last season here was better than Both Bravo and ter Stegen.

Yes, he was amazing before injured. Probably the best world GK during those few months. But that was an exception not a rule. He also was responsible or a lot of goals in seasons before. I also believe he made our defenders nervous. They are now much calmer, with more composed GKs behind them.
