I think his confidence has been dented by the sheer aggression our refs allow in the penalty area.
He is used to being fully protected so fear is apparently something he cannot handle.

That hasn't really been an issue though, there's been a few ropey moments with aerial balls but no more than the norm.

The issue has simply been a lack of saves.
 
Because he shot straight at Bravo, when he could have picked his spot either side of him

I assume from your comment you are implying it was a good save?
the thing is here is a month ago that goes straight through him.its progress. I wouldn't have him in our side but if he is and he saves what comes at him where is your problem?
 
He can never win with fans like you. He competently dealt with the consequence of the parry going to a rag.

But it was the unnecessary parry that gifted them the chance wasn't it? Listen... I don't hate him or jeer him. I would love it if he turned it round and became a great Keeper.. but I think it's gone beyond that. Sometimes things just don't work out
 
I will put you and anyone else who shares this view straight right now.

No one grassed him up although reporting his post would have been warranted given it was clearly against the code of conduct we have.

By all means say whatever you want but remember that whilst you have that freedom on here, you dont have freedom of responsibility for what you post and wishing injury on a City player is not only fucking moronic, its against our rules and it will be dealt with.

That's fair enough bud. Point taken

I agree there has been small improvements in the last 3 games. But he has looked shot of confidence and the defenders look nervous when he's there. Pep must think that too otherwise he wouldn't have dropped him. I hope he can turn it round and it would be great to see pundits and the media eating humble pie. but I can't see it
 
Actually, De Gea's a bloody good keeper, and one of the key reasons why a very ordinary United side are breathing down our neck. Frankly, I'd have him in a heartbeat.
But I'm going to call this one, sorry. It's Pep I'm annoyed with. Ok, he gave him his run out in the FA semi-final, fair enough. But it is incomprehensible to me that he selected him for this one. Can you imagine the utter fury till the end of the season if that cross that he palmed out had gone in from the follow up and they'd won 1-0?

Yes, I can imagine all too well. I agree that picking Bravo is egotistical. His form in no way qualifies him above Caballero. I really hope that Pep can get over this and accept that everybody including him can get it wrong. Bravo has not turned out to be a good buy. A club that signed Mangala, Rodwell and Sinclair must surely accept that they sometimes get it wrong regardless of the manager. Better for player and club that both sides recognise this and move on.

Bravo's recent form is better than Caballero's.
