Neither silly or incorrect,on his current form everyone thinks he is crap,probably when he leaves us he'll go back to being good,some moves just don't work out.I read we are letting fewer shots on goal so if we had a keeper making saves we would be better off points wise surely ?Regardless, the comment he replied to was silly and evidently incorrect.
Only if the goals he's conceded have led to points being dropped, which I'm not sure too many have.Neither silly or incorrect,on his current form everyone thinks he is crap,probably when he leaves us he'll go back to being good,some moves just don't work out.I read we are letting fewer shots on goal so if we had a keeper making saves we would be better off points wise surely ?
Paul Merson was writing him off before he signed and the 'I prefer a keeper who can catch' mantra was born before Bravo had even signed.
The stop pissing around at the back mantra is strong amongst many City fans.
Bravo has had poor form in terms of shot stopping since he arrived. Although he's actually had some very good games.
Many City fans wanted an elite top 5 in the World keeper to replace Hart, we signed a universally recognised top 5 keeper but he's struggled.
Some just don't like change.
Bravo has struggled but even if he hadn't and had been decent, some fans would still slate him.
My dad said there were audible groans when the ball went back to bravo for the second time in that move...ball was in the net 40 seconds later.
Some people just don't get it and don't want to get it.

If we had a better shot stopper (mentioning no names) then we'd almost certainly have a keeper who isn't as successful in the style of play which has lead to us conceding less shots. We'd either be back to hoofing the ball to our opposition nearly every time or the keeper wouldn't have the ability to play the kind of passes required to maintain possession in a small space on a consistent basis.
I thought the comment you responded to originally was about people "in the game" rating him? I'm not being snide - and correct me if I'm wrong - when I assume you don't have any connections and aren't in a position to speak on their behalf. Neither do I but the facts suggest otherwise.
I get that blues aren't arsed about what he achieved before he came to us, but I highly doubt that the professionals he's worked with and against have the short memories of those on here. They've seen him day in day out, he still captains his national team, they voted for him as one of the best in the world and they speak in nothing other than respectful terms. Unless you're talking about the Soccer Saturday panel who I wouldn't classify as being "in the game".
I understand about the first bit,the bottom line is we need a keeper that can do both,i feel for the guy i really do but we are in the run-in now and we can't be letting every shot in,a compromise on the distribution has to be done,be pragmatic and put the best shot stopper in,willy is confident give him the shirt back and sort it out in the summerIf we had a better shot stopper (mentioning no names) then we'd almost certainly have a keeper who isn't as successful in the style of play which has lead to us conceding less shots.

Some will simply never get this angle.
I understand about the first bit,the bottom line is we need a keeper that can do both
It's not a couple though is it,willy can give the distribution a go to the best of his ability for now,pep was telling him to kick it long last time he was in goal so i suspect he see's the need to be pragmatic for the time being,it's a mess reallyCompletely agree with this. Ederson looks like he could be the answer to that but until then we'll either have to compromise on our entire system of play or compromise on our ability to keep a couple of shots out.

Exactly, and this is why I no longer take people seriously who clamour the return of Hart. He's the polar opposite of what we want. It's like playing on the counter attack with crouch instead of Aguero etc.
Pep was telling Willy to go long as he doesn't have the required skills to thread a pass.It's not a couple though is it,willy can give the distribution a go to the best of his ability for now,pep was telling him to kick it long last time he was in goal so i suspect he see's the need to be pragmatic for the time being,it's a mess really
Like Bravo has spent his career doing?people would like a keeper that can save a shot coupled with the ability to pass the football like Pep requires
Willy can do the basics and make saves so on balance i believe we should stick with himPep was telling Willy to go long as he doesn't have the required skills to thread a pass.
Really? Why haven't you said?Willy can do the basics and make saves so on balance i believe we should stick with him
Could say the same about you repeating yourself :)Really? Why haven't you said?
It seems to me also that there is only one side of the arguers not mentioning this name, even with a bracketed huge hint.
I don't understand your logic in the belief that they are not mutually compatible, a keeper who can save and kick is surely available somewhere, surely you don't really believe that being able to save a shot means you can not play as a sweeper keeper
I'm sure Pep has already got one.Could say the same about you repeating yourself :)
We need a solution by saturday either way
