Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[mosssideblue]

Don't be thick,if willy gets injured he will have to play obviously

No need for insult. Your the one who said he should not play again and one of the first to moan when he is selected.

It is not practical to only have one keeper playing every game and thankfully the pro managers know that over the keyboard ones

 

[mosssideblue]

Hate to tell you but i know for a fact 2 of them were taking the piss when voting for him

Hate to tell you this but those in the game rate him over those that aren't

Other teams will have 1 keeper for the majority of games all season
TO BE CLEAR he should not play again unless willy cannot play

Who in the game rate him? most laugh

Most teams will have a cup and League keeper, as do we. That isn't hard and fast and managers will chop and change as required to retain form and fitness, as we will.
I am not deaf btw.

Perhaps the most important one - his club and manager, but if you want to join the sheep and believe the media, crack on, but that isn't being a Blue IMO

Pep and Pizzi for two. Enrique as well probably.

Haha going down the i'm not a proper blue line,i'll leave to you it as it's getting ridiculous
Pep dropped him perhaps he is not a proper blue lol

Enrique and Guardiola to name a couple. Griezmann said he's the best keeper he's played with.

If for no other reason, I want Bravo to stay so this thread can continue its unstoppable growth. :)

Its the thread that keeps giving...

I also wondered when the "I'm Out" card would be played. :)

Therefore, on that note "I am out too", but we live to fight another day :)

Pep dropped him because of form, not because he doesnt rate him. He certainly isnt laughing at him, leave that to posters on here that were doing that with their videos last night.
Pep wont just give up on him he will be working at getting him back to were he was , for that we should be grateful because if he does we have a very good goalkeeper.

He seems very vulnerable when the ball is around knee height and close to his body. What is the technical problem here an can it be sorted out?

He seems quite vulnerable when the ball comes in his general direction. Can that be sorted out too? ;)

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Guardiola's decision with playing Bravo against Hull on Saturday was with the semi final in mind. If we do lose the Semi Final then the rest of the team should get some of the flak as well.

I'm sure they will because if we can't beat Arsenal at the moment then it's a poor show!

 

[Bill]

Of course there is and rightly so. If he had replaced pants, then this thread would be half the size it is

I am seriously pmsl.

Carry on deflecting.

You've lost the plot mate. There is desperation in every post.

He surely must be a better keeper than he's shown for us. All of those caps, playing for Barca, being picked in the team of the season etc. And he does seem to be rated by players, coaches and the press, just not in this country (which doesnt necessarily mean too much since so many seemed to take against him from the outset).

The key question though is whether he can come back from such a poor first season. His confidence must be shot, he just doesn't look happy. Other keepers have recovered from bad starts but, given his age, is it worth City taking the risk in the hope that next season will be different? It seems to me that a parting of the ways would be be best for City and Bravo.

Why do people point to his caps as evidence of him being a quality goalkeeper? is there another professional Chilliean keeper that plays outside of Chile? Their 2nd and 3rd choices both play for Universidad da Chile

Also Andreas Isaksson has 133 caps for Sweden

Just because a player doesn't play well for a certain team, at a certain time, doesn't make them useless. Bravo is undoubtedly a decent keeper, with excellent passing skills. He's shown that in his career prior to City. He was a solid choice from Pep because he was seen as being able to implement his style of play, pass out from the back etc. The trouble is one mistake has been quickly followed by another. The fans are on his back, the media are on his back and he can't escape it. He might be tough, he might have handled intense South American games and big CL games but he's not coping with the pressure he's getting here.

His leadership is lacking too. Stones would benefit hugely from having a keeper shouting instructions at him and improving his awareness and positioning. We've seen improvement from him, through in a top keeper and centre back partner and he'd improve even further. I don't know what's happened with Bravo, but I do feel for him because he's a lonely man out there. We're all expecting him to make an error and he probably senses that when the ball is about to arrive with him.
Maybe a strong pre-season, a chance to bond further with the team and become more comfortable could help him be stronger next season. I’m soft like that though, and completely understand why most would just want rid.

You don't play for Barca if your poor
