13 - Joan García

[Andresito]

Shaky start but improved. I said it before, it happened vs Chelsea too. He lacks a bit of experience in these games. It's different to playing in Spain against likes of RM or Atletico.

Why shaky start?

I didn't watch first 5 minutes what happened?

If he didn't make that save and it went to VAR the goal would have been given for them. It was onside. So great save.

 

[Barcaman]

Out best player.

 

[malvolio]

He's terrible in CL this season. Shaky as fuck and also liable to drop clangers.

Not that I agree but it's his first CL season. He will improve.

Jury is still out. Way too early to judge yet. You're being too harsh on him.

What are you still doing on forums hahaha

 

[MonteCuler]

Top class keeper and proved it tonight

Who blames him on the goal knows very little about goalkeeping

Could he react better? Yes. But from that range, it's extremely hard to do anything. If he pulled it off it would be a superb save

And he already made a couple before we conceded the goal. So stop expecting superhuman performances every game

We should first ask where the fuck was our RB on that one and why Raphinha who was apparently covering for him left Barnes all alone in that position

That "offside" save was big. And VAR would have allowed it.

It's insane to blame him for the goal, the shot was from close open range. He still deflected the ball.

Never before in my lifetime as Barca supporter I've felt this confident about a Barca GK.

Certain people are desperate to see him fail so they can get points for stegen fanboyism

But as someone who has ter stegen on number.1 of his most hated Barca footballers ever, I can say if he delivered performances like this consistently in the CL I would never hate him as much as I do

Problem is he didn't. He delivered Liverpool. He delivered Bayern. Roma. Matches in which you can exactly point to his mistake and say he got it wrong here and did it multiple times. And took no responsibility for it. And didn't make any top saves to make up for it, unlike Garcia who saved us a goal in 1st half today - so even if you blame him for the goal, which is absolutely irrational, he is still on balance in this particural game.

I don't understand this concept truly. That is nostalgia thinking. Let's not Joan outshine Valdes/MATS or Lamine become greater than Messi.

I couldn't care less for those. I support the club and want to see it succeed.

Shaky first 10 minutes but after that typical Joan Garcia stuff. King in clearing the corners, being actively the fifth player in our backline and some important saves that most goalies wouldn't have made. He was even close to saving the goal, just unlucky bounce off him.

Even when he fucks up some goal he usually saves at least one sure goal. That didn't often happen with guys like Tek and Pena last year. There is massive difference how Joan handles 1v1s compared to Tek and with our playstyle we do give a lot of 1v1s to opponents, so it's important he can handle those situtations better than the average.

He reminds me of Victor Valdes
