Karen. We all know you're a Joe Hart wannabe potential wife. Let it go, take the JH poster down over yer bed and wash the head n shoulders from your eyes. Rightfully or not he isn't ever coming back IMO.One on ones are something you see with your eyes,saved shots stats cover everything,joe is very good at them as we have seen over 10yrs
Look i am not comparing the 2 when i comment on Bravo as they are different sorts of keepers and i appreciate each one for their strenghs and weaknesses,i posted well done in the match thread when he turned it over the bar yesterday,i thought he could have spread himself better for the goal,this needs to be in the bravo thread anyway
Fair post mateMy point is that there was literally no time to react once Clichy is beaten. Bravo did well to advance somewhat to cut off angles.. but beyond that it was sheer luck.
For my money, De Hea has the quickest reflexes of any keeper I've watched. But even De Gea wouldn't have had enough time to react to that point-blank shot. Rewatch the video - if you honestly think that Bravo could have done any better... well then we disagree. But I think, if you rewatch the video you'll see that there's literally no time to react.
For the record, I think that Joe had a world class performance for us last year - top 10 in the world. But to think that Joe or anyone else for that matter could have done better (luck not withstanding) against Lukako's goal... is expecting way too much in terms of reaction time from the human physique - no human, freakish De Gea included, could have done anything against that - again, 1:30 for the goal.
I know you are joking but the joe thing is wearing thin now,i'm glad he is not here because he can't play the way we do now and what i say about bravo good or bad and i did both yesterday is in isolationKaren.

Tell ya what, we'll have that game of scrabble over a drink sometime.
BTW, the words Joe and Hart aren't allowed hun ; )
I have a 3 foot long bar of wonka. You're my kind of women, get your coat, you've pulled; )I know you are joking but the joe thing is wearing thin now,i'm glad he is not here because he can't play the way we do now and what i say about bravo good or bad and i did both yesterday is in isolation
Do you have any chocolate in? if so i'll be over so long as you don't mind my big feet,nose and hands and armpit hair
Don't put him off i'm in thereSoon to be merged with the "dating site experience" thread.
Torino 4-1
Hopefully they can get a champions league place, will be awfully pleased for him.
Also, while I would agree (with heavy heart) that moving him on was the right choice, he was the perfect goalkeeper for teams like us 2010-15 or the likes of torino, provides a solid base for the team to build on.
Hows his form been, has he been making a difference or is it too soon to say?4-1 away...dreaming big...

Hope he puts in a blinding performance for you in the derby, he's had games at City where he saved us a lot of blushes or even made the difference between a win or a draw(in the Champions League especially), I wish him the best of luck.A good save on 1-1 but palermo didn't create big dangers. The important thing is that he gives confidence to the defenders. They know they are in good hands and this is a big upgrade for us. Anyway tonight the game was decided mostly by ljaic with 2 amazing goals. Next sunday vs lazio will be a big test to understand where we can go.

Indeed he is. Best there is at stopping forwards running at you, especially in a one-on-one situation. The rest of his keeping is better than average but other keepers are better and his passing technique isn't great.Joe is the best one on one stopper anywhere,it's reasonable to think he would have saved it but no-one can say for sure obviously
Uh, my point being that there's virtually no time to react between the time when Clichy is beaten and when Lukaku drills his point blank shot? How is that a guess?Your point is as much guess as anyone else's.

Rewatch the goal beginning at 1:30 - kind of hard to follow the action and stop it frame by frame isn't it? It happens so fast.
If you're arguing that some keeper might have moved into a slightly different position and thereby deflected/stopped Lukaku's shot - no disagreement.
If you're arguing that such action should have been taken by Bravo and that Bravo should have done better... just wow! It would have been down to sheer luck to stop Lukaku's shot.

Thus the point being Joe would have made his own luck by coming out to help Clichy, earlier, which he has done time and again, previously.
You should watch Joe, in action, on this point.
I'm sure there's plenty out there on film.
Nope. Predictive text is a Shitter though.Are you pissed by any chance:)
