Erm. Caballero turned it around in just over a year and he is couple of years older than Bravo(a keeper who has achieved more and he is Chile's captain as well).

Their game time is probably nearing level already. And Cabarello isn't our first choice. Even so, a year and £17m for a 33 year old solid keeper? What aspirations this club must have if that were the case.

But your able to say he has cost us points, I dont get your logic thenI'm not saying for a second that he's not made good saves, but I don't feel he's done it often enough to warrant a place in the team over Caballero right now.
Who knows how many of those Caballero would have let in? We'll never know for sure. maybe fewer, maybe more. My personal opinion is that Bravo hasn't played like half the 'keeper he is this season, but Caballero has been solid and done very little wrong for nearly a year now.

Buffon would look the same as our first choice in the current set up.

What is clear though, is that bravo is being made a scapegoat for general dissatisfaction and grumblings about pep. Never hve i seen so many fans turn on a city player

That I can agree with. We should back every single of our squad not all our personal favourites.

So now we just want bravo to be as good as caballero? Let's face facts caballero isn't of the standard we require for a starting keeper either. The fact he is starting to look good is further evidence of the poor showing from bravo so far.If you give Bravo the same amount of time as Caballero then he will look like solid keeper for City as well.
Caballero is top ten in the league right now IMO. De Gea, Courtois, Cech, Lloris, Foster, Forster, Heaton, Caballero, Schmiechel, Pickford.So now we just want bravo to be as good as caballero?

Give him the time and Bravo will turn it around and he will start to show the form that helped Chile and Barcelona win a couple of pots (the outfield players has to start helping with matters as well).

The only way the outfield players will help him is if they stop almost every shot on goal. This guy isn't good enough(and that's being kind) and never will be,Caballero is far superior and he is nowhere near good enough.

So and you (and others keep wittering on about) but in my humble opinion he is good enough.

Give him the time and he will. Back the player. Don't keep nit picking on all the negatives and the snide digs all the time. Barcelona were very reluctant in selling the player.

Nit picking would be finding a few little faults in an overall solid player. Bravo has literally nothing going for him bar being able to pass the ball 5 yards to the front and either side of him.Give him the time and he will. Back the player.

We have agree to disagree on this matter. For me It is down to the team and they are not doing the extra bit either. Bravo is used to players (whether it is for club or country) knowing what style of play that our club is trying to implement.

I hope,you're right. I think at this time he needs a break. Let him refocus and hopefully come back better.Give him the time and Bravo will turn it around and he will start to show the form that helped Chile and Barcelona win a couple of pots (the outfield players has to start helping with matters as well).

I totally agree on that but I doubt Guardiola isn't going to do that just yet.
