He had a poor game. But I find it hilarious how the people who are nowhere to be seen in this thread all fucking season are suddenly talking down on him as if he's completely average and isn't capable of making saves.

Having Mina in front of you is a death sentence in of itself but he still could have done better. It takes a lot more than one game for a player to go from world class to average, although the nitwits in this thread wouldn't know a damn thing about that.

Its not one game man, show 4 saves of him the ball is not het streight at him, or a save with a wow factor where u could say no other keeper would save that

You in particular seem especially brainless.

You seriously think all of Mats' saves are hit straight at him? :lol:

Not that hard. Without actually even watching Barca regularly (CL and maybe 4-5 La Liga games a year) I can recall those out my head.

or those 2 face saves are pretty sick

If someone actually dedicated enough time for it and watched Barca enough to remember every save he made, then they could probably come up with 10-20 of comparable ones. The dude is statistically the best 1vs1 keeper in the world, so I'm sure there's enough material out there to make an argument.

lolol, one was from 2 years ago, vs byern, 3 of those links are from his own blunders, and the rest are still het straight at him, 3 of the goals yesterday, he took exactly the same action for them, spread legs set on his ass hoping the ball well het him, post links of the goals yesterday and c the action he took, to me he is average keeper at most, thats my opinion, to say he was vital part of us winning the league is not true, even valdes or bravo as of now had less goals conceded in there season, any how am a barca fan blood and soul, and as u can c from the time i joined this forum, he is average keeper at best to me.

the rest are still het straight at him,

No. Simple. None of those were on the keeper, they were all reflex saves. I don't think you understand what "shot straight at the keeper" actually means. It's not "shot straight at the keeper" if it's 1-1,5m away from him from short distance with little time to react for the gk.
Shot at the keeper means, the goalkeeper was already positioned in a way he didn't have to do much and could just bodyblock it. Which of the 4 exampless you picked out here does that apply to?
Correct: None.

3 of those links are from his own blunders

Which is the third one? Does that not make them amazing saves anymore? You were arguing his shot stopping ability, not his distibution. Completely irrelevant how those chances were created, the saves fit your example. Period. If you want to argue that he's also now shit with the ball on his feet, then go on, make everyone laugh.

lolol, one was from 2 years ago, vs byern,

oh yeah "lolol" indeed. Instead of 7 saves from the 4 asked for, I only gave you 6 very recent ones, and you have 1 extra bonus link. What was i thinking.

In 5 minutes search time I provided you with enough materual. But from the very start it was already clear that a response to "give me 4 great saves" would be a waste of time because you would have never accepted a single one of them. It's an internet classic:

Person X cynically asks for examples
Person Y gives examples
Person X thinks of arbitrary arguments to dismiss every single argument shown. Will not accept a single one, no matter what is shown. Then argues that his demands cannot be fulfilled and he has therefor won the argument.

You were already convinced of your own reactionary narrative, you were not allowing anyoneor anything to offer a different one. I could say what I want, you are already above reasoning.

MAtS on Social Media about Iniesta.

after yesterday's game: mterstegen1 A very very special last game yesterday night at our Camp Nou. Happy that we finished the season with a win and that @andresiniesta8 got the farewell he deserved. There are no words that can describe the feeling we all had playing with you one last time. From the moment I arrived to the stadium, getting ready for the match, the warm up, the team talk, through to the moment when you said your farewell to our 97,000 fans and us - players and coaches, it was an emotional experience. I wish with my heart that you keep enjoying what you do, on and off the field. You have an amazing family who’ll support you wherever you go, the Barça doors are always open to you, and so is my home. 4 special years playing alongside you. I hope to see you soon again my friend.

mterstegen1 Seeing you speak at the press conference yesterday with tears in your eyes described what type of person you truly are. When I arrived to @fcbarcelona almost 4 years ago, I got to know you as a person. You have a big warm heart, you’re a leader and an idol to all of us. Not many words can explain how beautifully you have played the game with the Barça jersey for so many years, and for your national team as well. You’re a big reason why this sport is what it is today.
You have been a very special game-changer, but not just in football. That’s just one side to you, off the pitch you really are an incredible person.
I’m happy having you as a friend and I’ll miss you. I wish you and your family best of luck for the new chapter and I’m sure it’ll be an unforgettable experience. Take care my friend @andresiniesta8! #Infiniti8Iniesta

MAtS is captaincy material. Let's make him one of the 4.

I mean i understand why he wants to do that. Neuer is not just a good keeper he is their leader. But it seems dumb to say starter or not in the squad at all. If he is fit include in the squad and play mats as a starter unless neuer is playing at his original level. But whatever I don't want Germany to win the WC so he can start whoever he wants as long as they lose and also no injuries for mats.

No one doubts what Neuer brings but the problem is he hasn't played in over a year now.

Especially in the Goal Keeper position were rhythm is key.
