Well, most young German GKs try to model their style after Manuel Neuer nowadays. BTW, Marvin Schwabe is currently the GK of Hoffenheim's U23 team.

Goal.com took a look at OPTA bemüht and listed the top 10 goalies in save percentage. Not bad!

1. Manuel Neuer (Bayern) - 89.19%
2. Morgan de Sanctis (Roma) - 82.98%
3. Yann Sommer (BMG) - 82.42%.
4. Mattia Perin (Genoa) - 81.25%
5. Gigi Buffon (Juve) - 80.65%
6. Claudio Bravo (Barca) - 80.56%
7. Stephane Ruffier (ASSE) - 80%.
8. Diego Alves (Valencia) - 79.59%
9. Jeroen Zoet (PSV) - 79.41%
10. Jaroslav Drobny (HSV) - 78.67%

Interestingly, no BLP keeper managed to get into the Top10

Does German Lux qualify for this thread? hmm

by rwo power Sun Jan 04, 2015 6:46 pm

I'm afraid not. Neither is Basel's Germano Vailati. (The latter would at least qualify for the Swiss Goalkeeper Appreciation thread, though). :coffee:

I'm really not amused that you have to ruin MAtS' chances for being the proper number 1 in all matches by jinxing him! German Goalkeeper Appreciation Thread - Page 7 2276801876

(Oh and I'm in a rather foul mood anyway as I currently have a tendovaginitis and my wrist is in a splint. And if anyone comments this with 'vagi', s/he will discover me sending an electrical charge through the net and frying them that way.)

What a fraudulent goalkeeper. Victor Valdes in young all over. Good with his feet, chit at everything else. Hope we sell him.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Feb 11, 2015 8:39 pm

Swapping goalkeepers around and expecting consistent performances.

Just lol.

How good is Timo Horn?

by futbol Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:00 pm

Better than ter Stegen for sure.

by rwo power Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:08 pm

Timo Horn has the big advantage of being the undisputed starter with regular playing time. Of course he will look better due to the constant match practice.

You can't buy a young goalie, play him in only a handful of matches and then expect him to develop as well as one who is playing all the time.

gotta do what we did with De Gea

let him stick it out through the good and bad...De Gea was shambolic at coming for balls in the air when he first arrived, everyone questioned him but we left him out there each week to figure it out

now he is De GOAT

Leo Messi and the rest of the Barcelona dressing room are delighted with Marc-André Ter Stegen, particularly with his passing skills.

According to a story published in El País today titled 'Ter Stegen, or Zubizarreta's heir', Messi joked in a training session that the goalkeeper passes the ball better than him.

After a ball control exercise one of Messi's teammates said to him, "He passes it better than you", to which the Argentine replied, "Not better, much better."

by Football Enthusiast Sat Feb 14, 2015 8:23 am

He is still very young. I hope ter Stegen will improve over time as he becomes more experienced and confident in the field. But the question is will he get more opportunity to be a starter with regular playing time and will he continue to strive to reach his maximum potential?

ad 1) I would hope so
ad 2) Defintely as he is very ambitious and a hard worker.

expect us to send him on loan to Elche next season Laughing

he will completely stop sleeping before, during and after the game rofl

Nearly everytime i watch Leno he's absolutely crap. Not sure why he's so highly rated.

I said the exact same during the U21 Euros (I think it was) in 2013(?). His crapness first caught my eye in 11/12 when he made several mistakes against Barca although I didn't put too much weight on it as he was very young and Leverkusen as a whole were pretty chit. But ever since I catch some of his games from time to time and he still looks chit.

German goalkeepers are overrated tbh.

by Football Enthusiast Sun Feb 15, 2015 8:03 am

@rwo power: I'm hoping that he will be a successful GK for Barcelona if everything goes fine.

by rwo power Sun Feb 15, 2015 9:08 am

@Football Enthusiast

I hope so, too.
