The thing is Hart had a similar rough patch like this before during his City career but he was still backed by everyone, even when he got dropped for Pantillimon. Why Bravo gets no backing is beyond me, as if he's the one that's come here and forced Joe to get out. All he's done is receive a phone call from Pep to come play for City and that's all he did.It would have been a fantastic save. We allowed a Premier League footballer time and space to measure a powerful shot into the top corner. Bravo nearly saved it. His size possibly hindered him. He got a good hand to it so you could say he should have stopped it.
He didn't. I think it was a good effort, had he kept it out it would have been a fantastic save. He didn't so he's back to clownio.
Had anyother keeper been in that position, the keeper wouldn't be held responsible for it.
Having just re watched it again, what the knockers have failed to point out, King hits the ball with his instep, thus curling the ball away from the keeper, making it even harder to save.
Bravo for some reason or another has been targeted by many, not after a few months or a season but immediately.
Look at this disrespectful totally unhelpful thread.
This will only lead to negativity, it's an embarrassing thread. Our manager wanted Joe gone and a more suitable keeper in. That has happened.
Every other player who's left is in the player thread. The amount of garbage and vitriol aimed at Bravo from our own is depressing.
I've posted two videos of Hart, two goals that Bravo would be slaughtered for conceding, was Hart slaughtered? No. He was backed and righly so.
Why isn't Bravo afforded the same backing and the respect he deserves?
Fans can say it's only a forum, but first back pass tonight will be greeted with jeers and groans. Round me in 130 it will be anyway.
Hart was a fine keeper on the back of his worst season for sometime with a near Sunday league standard Euros and we looked to improve him.
He had his limitations and flaws, he will always be fondly remembered and rightly so. It's about time we all moved on.

enlighten me then pleaseNo you're still not understanding
As has been posted many times Hart is the wrong type of goalkeeper for a Guardiola team. Just as Andy Carroll would be the wrong types of striker or Terry the wrong sort of centre back, nothing to do with form or ability.enlighten me then please
Then what I said is correct. The decision was made, time to move on.As has been posted many times Hart is the wrong type of goalkeeper for a Guardiola team. Just as Andy Carroll would be the wrong types of striker or Terry the wrong sort of centre back, nothing to do with form or ability.
Time to move on I agree, but you did post "Brilliant keeper has poor euor's and must therefore be shite" which wasn't the reason he wasn't kept.Then what I said is correct. The decision was made, time to move on.
To anyone else....Does anyne on this thread actually do the booing of Bravo at the games? Cmon own up/
His backline isn't necessarily helping him either.To be fair though Bravo has done nothing to warrant that backing from city fans, there is an argument about getting behind a new player however Hart's bad patch came after years of being an amazing goalkeeper for us. Bravo hasn't given us anything yet, mostly blunders starting on his debut.

Mostly blunders? I can think of 2.
So we must all rate Bravo and be super pleased he lowered himself and his great standards to come a play for little City because he's achieved more than the majority of our squad at other clubs and for country, despite being a traffic cone so far. Yeah, right.
He will get respect when he earns some, and shows a bit of nous and presence in his performances.
His positioning is a regularly occurring blunder
Being honest Tom, Bravo has still to earn the respect from some fans which is fair do's. What he shouldn't be receiving is the vitriol that some seem to take joy in posting. He has been here a third of a season and has had nothing but turmoil in front of him. He deserves time and a settled defence before we will see if he is good enough.
Regarding Joe, I personally think people simply remember the worldies he pulled off occasionally, but again, being honest, he was poor in most other aspects of his game, but that seems to be swept under the carpet.
Bottom line is that Joe aint coming back, and Bravo needs time and a settled defence before any reasoned discussion could be held.
