The fact that Ter Stegen plays so well when only given the chance to play in high pressure huge knock out games, shows his immense maturity for his age and huge quality. He is the new kid, and the only non-Latin player apart from Vermaelen and Rakitic and is our youngest one as well, and he is given this massive responsibility and leads us to CL and Copa victories. Its incredible.

Didn't Lucho actually say that all 3 keepers would be getting game time?

Nah not yet, Bravo is familiar with La Liga and knows their attackers inside out having played almost 300 matches in Spain!
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Bravo for Liga and Mats for the Cups!
Mats can get an extra 5 games from Super Cups and Club World Cup!

I wouldn't. Somehow, I feel that sporadic game time would adversely affect Bravo's form compared to this season.
An argument could be made for either keeper being the superior one in goal and you want to loan one of them out? Why? Is a treble winning performance not enough?
The way things were this season is fine. I'd like to see ter Stegen play more but as of now having one play the cups is working for us. No need to try and destroy that for no real reason.

If Bravo has deserved to keep in La Liga then ter Stegen has deserved to keep in the Cups. There's no two ways about it IMO.
Either keep the same or switch roles.

I wouldn't change it. Bravo for La Liga is an awesome option, he is less sensational than Stegen, but also less prone to errors and in a league competition that is an amazing quality. Plus, he knows the players from the league and he has experience. Also he is a leader, being the captain of Chile in front of players like Vidal and Sanchez is a testamant to his strong character and also to his personality. Ter Stegen will play plenty of games, considering Champions League, Copa del Rey, Club World Cup and Supercup (both domestic and european). It's like 12 from CL, around 10 for Copa, 2 from the Supercup, 2 from the Club World Cup, 1 from Europe Supercup. That's about 25 games. Not bad, considering that he plays in the Champions League, against the best players in the world.
I think Bravo made 1 error in the entire league campaign. The goal he took from Banega. Amazing.

I personally don't like rotating keepers, it can be very difficult to step into a huge game like that after sitting on the bench for weeks.
