don't dislike him in any way. his abilty to keep goal, and I mean keep goal not fucking tap dance, is nowhere near good enough. he's the worst keeper in the league and by some distance.

Is he really? Really? Or are you exaggerating just a tad there. No way have you even heard of every keeper in the league, let alone watched them enough to know ffs
 
Nope. Nothing changed on here. Still same old and after reading the last 3 pages I notice the same lot who are after Bravo. A few fickle ones as well who tend to support Pep, the man responsible for getting and playing Bravo. Again fantastic support for one of our players.

I admire your stance on backing him and I was once like you, unfortunately he just doesn't seem suited for the style in The Premier League and is our weakest link by a country mile.

Dont take Bill too serious mate. He loves to come on here and goes straight to the Bravo topic to get the attention he is so desperately looking for. Nothing to do with Bravo let alone his knowledge of PL goalies.
 
I think he struggles with his height and lack of physical presence. He's six foot, it's not exactly tall, especially when you consider the height of some Premier League defenders. I'm of the mindset that he won't be here next season, and it's fucking bizarre having two foreign goalkeepers taking up slots.

Hardly any goal conceded that way. Unless you mean Burnley when he was fouled?

just because he hasn't conceded many that way now doesn't make it a good thing though, he looks susceptible to most aerial challenges and I also think a bigger keeper than him would of been less likely to concede that goal v Burnley.

The PL way ... Dear me.

Less protection from the referees in the country, struggles with teams lumping it to the big guy in the box, he's like a boy against men at times unfortunately.

I dont particularly want to defend Bravo here but we've conceded one headed goal all season.

His issues are nothing to do with some mythical PL way that makes our game special.

His issues are that he can stop any fucking shot going in at present.

So your inferring clean sheets to be totally down to the keeper. Is that right?

No, you are inferring it. Read the definition on your word of the day toilet paper before you get giddy about applying it.

Also, when the 'keeper concedes 14 out of their last 22 shots faced then it's obvious that the 'keeper is a big problem in terms of not keeping a clean sheet. As well as being fucking shite.

"The 'difficulty' part of the model factors the location from where a shot was taken, shot destination, shot power and whether the keeper's view was impaired."

Does it factor in one ones, proximity of defender to striker when taking a shot? If not, why not?

This post is not a defence of Bravo before anyone starts.

Depends on what narrative they're looking at. We all know Bravo is having problems as we watch the guy. His shot stopping has not been anywhere near good enough, but there's more to it.
