Thats not what i said,whether the other side take the chances or not he still gives them a big chance every game,whether he leaves the goal open as in the last 2 prem games or he is spilling the ball at their feet,his distribution is good but the basic goal keeping skills are put to shame by most of the keepers in the prem
He's there mainly for his excellent distribution, nothing good about it, it's excellent and only behind Ederson in the premier league.
You go find me another keeper with as good as distribution who's happy to be number 2 and i'll take him, until then we'll be playing Bravo.

Absolute privilege to be at Wembley for Kun’s 200th and 201st goals for us. It was also Phil Foden’s breakthrough games.

I can shed some light on this as I was sat by it!What was that fight about after the Sergio second goal.Seem to take ages to come to an end.
Basically, at the start of the game a bloke and two ladies arrived to find some blokes (one chubby one in a blue shirt, and one scrawny, taller one) sitting in their seats. They kindly asked them to move and were aggressively told to fuck off. Stewards took ages to help; first a woman walked up to them an bottled it, and then another woman approached them and demanded to see their tickets.
A little scuffle ensued and the chubby lad pushed her in the face with his arm but, luckily for him, Sergio scored his first goal and of course everyone stood up. She went back to the waiting trio - who still hadn't been able to sit down - basically shrugging and giving up. At this point my brother went over and said to her that perhaps she could get these three up into Club Wembley as there were loads of spare seats and it would defuse the situation, but the steward just threw her arms up in the air. By now the two idiots had scarpered, but I think the steward wisely took the waiting trio up to Club Wembley or to some other seats.
Anyway, second half and the two are back, arguing with everyone around them. One lad behind them seemed to say something and the scrawny tall idiot squared up to him and his chubby mate got involved. Then came the threats and the pushing - all this going on where lots of young families, kids and old people were sitting. Stewards just sat and watch, despite people screaming at them to intervene. It was pathetic.
Eventually three stewards, young lads, came to drag them out. One of them got punched a few times by the chubby one but kept his cool. People were falling over seats, kids crying etc., before they were dragged away - which I guess is the apart you saw. I think as they got dragged away other fans gave them grief and they just wanted to fight everybody.
In the last three times I've been to Wembley - Arsenal Community Shield, last LC Final and yesterday - I've seen blues fighting each other. Powder certainly behind it judging by the way they all acted. I missed both goals yesterday because of the commotion, and it's horrible to see women and kids getting upset. The worst part was how the stewards did nothing to get them out of the seats the first time around, and then just stood idly by for at least ten minutes whilst the fight was breaking out. As we walked out at the end my brother said to a copper words to the effect of "Where the fuck were you?" and he said that they aren't allowed into seated areas, only stewards.

Just to add a little bit to what @che_don_john has said, the stewards at the front (pitch side) were frantically trying to get some stewards and security in the stands to get up there to sort out what was going on and were having no luck. It would have helped if more of them had had walkie talkies or something, instead of having to keep waving at the ones in the stands!! It did seem to go on for a long time. One of the young lads in the row in front of them looked absolutely terrified and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't want to go back to Wembley again, poor kid.

Better than going to Leeds as a kid in the 70s and being terrified, didnt put me off! ;) Character building.

Haha strawman alert,bravo lacks the basic goalkeeping skills covered up by his distribution,he will gift chances as soon as he has to stop the ball going near the net,lucky eddie can do bothSo finally you got the point about Bravo.
Took some time though ;-)
Oh karen, I really share 98% of your opinions,
but your double standards re Joe Mr. Universe Hart and other City keepers are hard to take, ever since.

Anyone know what the fighting was all about behind the nets at the front of the bottom tier?

Karen, he really doesn't lack basic goalkeeping skills.
He had a difficult start at City and took far more stick than he deserved. He was in many ways a victim of circumstance but ultimately his form and confidence did seem to get affected.
Now the slightest error gets highlighted and frequently blown out of proportion; often I suspect by people who don't have much of a real clue about playing in goal. I know I'm no expert of goalkeeping but I did at least play there regularly for over 30 years.

And people forget he won us the League Cup last year and a penalty shoot out in an earlier round.

He was at the bottom of all the prem keepers for goals per shots,eyes showed that to be correct,this is the wrong thread for this,don't want to bore everyone rehashing it in this threadKaren, he really doesn't lack basic goalkeeping skills.

We had more of the ball because Joe wasn't in net..................... ;0)
I'm just pointing out that he conceded less with Clichy, Kolarov, Sagna and Zab as full backs, yes he made some high profile mistakes but he's nowhere near as bad as made out on here, but then again some City supporters always need to get on the case on a player or 2.
We wouldn't get anyone who can do the job the way Pep wants better than him who's also be happy being the number 2. Also people seem to forget how good he was for us in last years League cup in, in all of the games we played in it.
Oh and for someone so keen to defend Sterling in his thread and berate posters for abuse he receives maybe you should try some of your own medicine regarding Bravo or Juliet as you like to call him.
We should parade Nicky Summerbee round the pitch pre game so everyone can get it out of their system.We had more of the ball because Joe wasn't in net..................... ;0)
