Cheers @Peggy's a blue we all hope Bravo plays a blinder and makes no errors, no-one hates him as has been mentioned. Any City player for me is encouraged on the day to perform to their max, doesn't mean prior to the game opinions can't be expressed which may perterb some people especially when such opinions are actually based upon empirical evidence.
 
All those worrying about Bravo we may have an even bigger issue. To me Raz is critical we miss him so much when he does not play, really need him to be fit.

Yeah, that is a worry, Bernado, great player, but that thing he does in wide right positions , changing to left foot can lose impetus of a move, plus I love Raz, fantastic player, fingers crossed ;-)
 
If I was an Arsenal player I know who i'd prefer to face in goal.
Bravo is a complete liability and instils zero confidence in our defence. Pep needs to grow some balls and start putting trophies before personal favours.
Fucking hell, are you serious?? You really think a manager who has won that amount of major trophies allows "personal favours" to sway his team selection?

Pep clearly prefers to have two experienced internationals per position wherever possible. No.2 keeper is probably one of the worst jobs in football so to keep an international happy as no.2 Pep does a deal to play him in the domestic Cups. There's nothing sentimental about it, it's a professional agreement - he wants an experienced backup in case the worst happens to Eddie.
 
Reading these last few posts reminds me of brexit, if you are not in with the elite you talk “ bollocks” if you prefer Eddie to Bravo you “bring your hatred for Bravo” isn’t it about time people’s opinions were respected without getting slagged off by keyboard bullies.
For the record I voted that we will lose, this for the first time, reason, I think Bravo has a neagative effect on how we play, and is prone to fuck up. Given that this thread has got a open vote, I assume I am entitled to vote how I think it will go, I have, but it doesn’t mean I hate Bravo, how the fuck can I hate a person I do not even know, that in itself is a load off bollacks.

But which keeper is Remain and which is Leave in your example?
 
If Raz is out, I'd be tempted to go for

Bravo
Walker Otamendi Laporte Zinchenko
Gündogan Fernandinho
De Bruyne Silva Sané
Agüero

Zinchenko joining Ilkay and Ferna, Kyle Walker on the constant overlap, KdB free to roam from the right hand side (whippin' in some o' them tasty crosses).

Bravo
Otamendi Laporte
Gündogan Fernandinho Zinchenko
Walker De Bruyne Silva Sané
Agüero
(In possession)
 
Kolo Touré to SSN: "Arsenal have a lot of experience of playing finals - but I will go for City. City are playing the best football in the league, even in Europe they are playing amazing. If they play with the same performance levels they are used to, there is no drama for sure."

This..
 
Ok here's the drop, 100% of people on here agree that Eddie is the best keeper, no question about it, it's also 100% certain that Bravo will play, Pep has decided this is how he wants to play it.

Why can't we all just accept it and go and watch us win the game, it's not going to change, it's happening, get over it and enjoy the fact we are back at Wembley yet again.....
