Save percentage is one of the worst states for a GK, especially in era of advanced date.
A better one is post shot xG, it measures the quality of GK saves against quality of finish.
Marc blows Inaki away, who is always negative in it with wide margin.

This season Ter Stegen played 2 games after injury and only 9 league games in total, the last game alone skewed his states massively due to having -1.71 game. So, before injuries Marc was still better than Inaki

Let's hope you are right. If he is not dropped we will see Stegen vs likes of Bayern, Madrid etc... big games Pena did more than fine in btw this season.

There was a time when i liked him, as a keeper. As soon the purple patch of cl glory ended with 4:0 in paris and 3:0 in turin very next season, shit started to unfold. Would never forget when our players played pes i think and when suarez said that this game is bullshit because german never goes out of the line on crosses. I mean they fucking joked about that and our sd, gk coach did absolutely nothing to fix that.

Shit is hilarious, 2:45 on this clip

I remember very well the CL final where he could have ruined it for us at 1-1 with one of his trademark rushes where he tries to get the ball from a cross and misses it leaving behind an empty net. Luckily, his blunder did not cost us in that match as the ball went over the bar. I knew right there this guy was a bad apple.
Yooo, i forgot that. Remember the bayern sf return leg when benatia(?) scored from corner in first 5 minutes, he was absolutely terrified. Luckily for him we had msn who were unplayable

Inaki is not a better GK than ter Stegen although he does have a spectacular save in him from time to time.

Kinda pointless to compare both anyway since neither should be anywhere near starting for a team with CL aspirations.

It's our GK coach I tell you. Any GK would like to stay but it's the GK coach who holds responsibility towards the club and not to the player.

He's been here since Tito and somehow survived as GK coach during all these years of Barca having the worst GK of all top clubs.
Yes. @DonAK has covered the situation extensively

ter Stegen's condition to renew his contract in 2019/2020 or something was the club also keeping Jose Ramon de la Fuente with him.

Although both Xavi and Flick retained him as well. So not sure whether it's ter Stegen just being that influential that no new manager will get rid
of him or whether he's just very highly thought of across different regimes and managers.

I am interested in getting Aitor Iru from Bilbao. He made Kepa look like a world class GK and Bilbao now have 2 of the best GK in La liga, and both are homegrown.

The strange thing is that we actually have Toni Tapalovic on our staff as well. He was Neuer's goalkeeper coach for more than a decade, and when Hassan Salihamidzic decided to get rid of him Neuer threw a massive tantrum.

Neuer was pissed because he created a strong bond with tapalovic and croatia, even rakitic since gelsenkirchen days where rakitic and neuer played together. Aa a croatian im not that much familiar with his work, but being for more then a decade in bayern says a lot
