I don't think it was a huge howler, it was definitely saveable but anything hit that hard, low and close to goal isn't easy. Of course the problem is it's not a one off.

The ironic cheering is just pitiful.
 
Its getting sad now for him as you see his confidence is totally shot and when your own fans sarcastically cheer when you make a simple save then you no its time to call it a day
 
Sadly very little knowledge about keeping on here.
If someone has to be blamed for the goal, watch Fernandinho, Clichy, Sterling jogging back and: Stones, huge mistake.

Bunn is 12m away from the goal, hits it hard and low. What could Bravo do?
He is standing low, his weight on both feet, which means he cannot use his feet within half a second. No way.
The shot was too precise. Bravo looked quite poor, but it was not Bravo to blame. He was left alone.

His distribution today was outstanding, exactly what Pep wants to see. It's so important against high pressing teams. He is not really appreciated for that.

We have some right cnuts supporting us.

No player wearing our shirt should have to put up with the shit Bravo has to endure from his own 'supporters'.

Conversely, why should we have to put up with shit wearing our shirt?
 
I saw the saved he made in the highlights and the camera went to his face he had this sort of shock/horror type of look on his face, as he was relived the ball didn't go into the back of net, he seem lost and confused. When he played his first game derby at OT against United and the mistake he and Stones made which led to the goal, was the main highlight of the night, the English press had 2-3 articles about that mistake alone and it was pinned on him despite Stones being equally at fault. Since then the press have made him the scapegoat in everything despite even when City win, like today the press is still talking about this goal conceded despite City winning 5-1, that's not going to help his confidence. It doesn't help the man confidence when his own supporters are booing him either.

Falcao got ripped apart by the press here despite the fact he came back from a career ending injury, now look at him has been in an amazing form and may possible guide Moncao to the league title and even still has a possibility to go further in the CL depending on the away leg. The same with Sterling, his first season with City his performance at the Euro and he was murdered by everyone now look at him. Sane had talent, but he lacked confidence early into the season now look at him.

People need to give Bravo the chance and actually get behind him, Pep will most likely keep using him in the FA Cup as that's what he does in these cup games with the backup keepers. It all up to Bravo, but with these kind of circumstances it's like kicking a man when he's down.

He should have saved it, but not happy with the crowds reaction tonight.

And I think Pep will be less than impressed with it as well. Saw his face when the sarcastic cheers went, did not look happy at all.

Yes he's been shit but he's also got a severe lack of confidence and as a fan base taking the piss out of him is absolutely fucking shit.

Just saying

It was gooneresque. I can think of no bigger insult for any fan who would take the piss out of their own at a game.

Come off it. It wasnt like that at all. I made the same sound sat at home watching it when he made that save, spontaneously. I didnt mean to, didnt think about it, didnt do intentionally, it just happened. And it clearly just happened for hundreds of other blokes at the same time. It wasnt organised or planned, it was just a lot of men watching live football having the same reaction at exactly the same time. It wasnt prolonged or drawn out for effect for pisstaking effect, it just happened. You cant describe that as taking the piss out of our own or as being disgraceful or whatever other posters have described it as. It just literally happened as a collection of individuals, albeit a lot of them. And that is Bravo's fault and not blues in the crowd.
 
It's a disgrace that he isn't fully supported at a game but on this forum I think it's fine to state that he has been awful.

Saying he was passing great imo is just patronizing him. Most keepers with a good head on their shoulders can make intelligent passes. They're not asked to be Pirlo - not even by Pep. (I make the same argument regarding Stones who needs to become a better defender) Bravo needs to do the bread and butter keeping much much better to warrant him being a proper no.1.

I hope he turns things around like others who started awfully. At this stage it'd look to be miraculous though.

He is viewed through the prism of being Hart's replacement which is probably an albatross for him and us alike. If you take that out of the equation though, and theoretically he was just a new signing replacing nobody in particular, he has to be viewed objectively as a signing that has turned out terrible. I say that as opposed to a terrible signing, because he was not that. He played for Barca and Chile and had a good reputation and was rated. But it simply hasnt worked out, hes a bad signing. He is Ricky Holden, with a silly quiff.

Crap. Willy saved one from falcao with his foot from much less distance at the end of the Monaco game. He reacted. Bravo didnt

Bollocks, it was disgraceful. Happened again in the second half when he caught a floated easy cross, that spontaneous too? It was taking the piss and if you were involved go and support a team from salford and take out the angst of your shit existence on fellaini, they like that kind of behaviour
 
I'm not his biggest fan,but he is a blue and I was a bit embarrassed with the ironic cheers,but last night it was louder than has happened in the past,but that should be the last we see of him now,to win the FA Cup,or have any chance in doing so,Willy has to take back over at Boro,no question
 
Always fully support anyone wearing the shirt when they are on the pitch. But that could have been saved, I am extremely frustrated that order defence being described as terrible when in fact it is no worse then most other teams we simply get punished for every mistake as our keepers are in awful form. I am sick of us having to play catch up as our opponents score with their first shot on target.
 
Thought he should of saved it, looked like he could of used his feet for it.

However his distribution was exceptional, he was just pinging the ball around like he was pirlo. The one where he chipped it over the players head was class
