Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[r.soleofsalford]

Listen I would prefer Joe Hart to be in our team but come this very important game, we really do need to get behind Bravo and see if that can help in any way.


For City`s sake if nothing else

 

[Rolee]

looks that way to me.
perhaps you should let this hart v bravo thing go.

Nice one Bill, that is the first post I've seen of yours that genuinely made me laugh.

Shall we revisit this post in a couple of months?

Why have you watched them ?

Let's hope so. Mind you we'll be well out of any title running or even the top four by then.

As a team we need to bang all our heads together. We scraped a Champions League place last season , although we can't keep winging it a top 4 spot isn't beyond us imo.

1. Statistically he is a shit keeper.
2. This backs up what I see every game.
3. Best goalie passer in the prem - trouble is he's a keeper.

When a goalie is passing it short, he'd better make sure he has a good passing accuracy, because if he gets it wrong, it's a goal. The stats don't necessarily reflect that he's better at passing anyway, just that he's been instructed to pass it short whereas other keepers pass it long. I'll be honest, I've not seen a great deal to suggest that he's particularly amazing with his feet. Better than average, perhaps, but not exactly Ronaldinho in gloves.

 

[quiet_riot]

lets put him up for sale and see which big clubs clamour for his services.

that will tell you all you need to know.

Is Pep really going to continue with Bravo? with all the damning evidence stacking up against him, it's time he had a rest. Willy must be wondering what he has to do to get a game in the Prem.
I'm all for showing support to our players, but doesn't Willy deserve a fair crack at the No.1 jersey?

 

[BlueTG]

I hope the Colin Bell stand are behind him, but he does not deserve to have the North or South Stands behind him.

Didn't get the credit it deserves, very witty!

 

[bondsman]

yeh cos recruitment will be so much easier when we offer the Europa league.
totally deluded.

And no other teams will improve either of course. Funny how well that conte chap has settled in

 

[bondsman]

If thats the case then so be it. Maybe the club are willing to accept this season as one of transition on the premis that when Pep gets his plkayers, we start moving fwd again.

And no other teams will improve either of course. Funny how well that conte chap has settled in.

They will all stand still and let Pep stroll past them.

 

[jaiguruKun]

If any other player underperformed like he has in recent weeks they'd be out of the team. I'm praying Pep does the right thing today but doubt it. He's spoken about trying to adapt to the PL, it's time to start showing it. There's no hiding place in this league even against the lesser teams. Bravo starts and we're 1 down before kickoff as far as I'm concerned.

If Pe is to do the right thing with underperforming players, there would be more than just Bravo dropped. Does your being one down before we start apply simply to Bravo?

Help me out as I'm struggling to get your point

I take your point and you are right about the general underperformance but he hasn't merely underperformed. He's been pretty wretched. But as you say, not helped by the poor performances of our defence, our tactics and the unwillingness of some players to press.

Like Mangala though, he looks like a player who just hasn't the skill set needed for the league no matter how good they may be in other leagues.

It's just that we have limited options in the out field, although god knows I'd rather see anyone but Kolorov at CB or LB. Or Fernando.

At this point I would prefer to see Willy between the sticks today.

Sure he needs to improve but I don't believe he has been as bad or as culpable as some are painting. I think he will get the gig today, let's hope he and the rest of the team have a stormer
