It's the whole package of shot-blocking ability, sweeping and also goal kicks and throw-outs.
I think Cesar Luis Menotti is spot-on in his verdict. There is/was not one who has combined all aspects to such a degree that Neuer managed.

But Ryu, the other great goalkeepers didn't fumble as often as Neuer did, right?

Just saying, he is god-like most of the time, but then he makes silly mistakes that mid-table goalkeepers don't make.

When was his last big blunder that led to a goal? Even I don't really remember it, and I watch all Bayern matches and most national team matches.
He had his occasional blunders earlier in his career and even 2 or 3 just 1 or 2 seasons ago, but mostly in unimportant matches and these days, he rarely ever fails.

And he's still only 28, so shouldn't even be in his prime yet. He made some silly mistakes in his first season with Bayern (see the 2-5 against Dortmund), but after that he's been very consistent.

Would be the perfect keeper for Barca really, because he allows his team to play with an insanely high defensive line. Maybe Ter Stegen can make a similar development.

This is going way overboard... most of you guys haven't even seen YouTube videos of the best keepers in football history

if a defender makes a 2 footed challenge but wins the ball its still a red card but if a keeper wins the ball and completly takes out the striker (dangerously) its a foul to the keeper

It was indeed a clear foul on Higuain but it's not like it was the ref's only mistake. All in all he allowed way too much and that challenge by Höwedes was a clear red.

It's not a foul he goes only for the ball. He can't just vanish in thin air after punching it away.

Though it wasn't a foul by Higgy either, should've just been a trow in for Arg
