so you think bravo is a good keeper? of course we would have conceded less I can list any number of goals a decent keeper would have saved. he is not a good shop stopper. you like to insult posters calling them childish or whatever and you think that makes your opinion more valid. what you or I think ultimately counts for nothing and I am resigned to the fact that bravo is undroppable at least for this season. I see that Guardiola wants to instil playing from the back it is how he plays. he needs to make our whole defence a lot stronger the FACT that we have let 28 goals the second worse in the top 11 and twice as many as spurs and Chelsea proves this.
As we are going in circles - maybe being a bit bored in life waiting for the next matchday as myself - I'll try this offer:
Everybody will agree on here to your last sentence's view about our defence. The lads on here defending Bravo like myself just seem to overcompensate the bashing of others. Of course Bravo is not perfect and I suppose if anybody on Bluemoon would have a
free choice nobody would pick Bravo as City's no.1. In my view he is on a similar level to many other top keepers, with special strengths and also weaknesses.
"Good" or "bad" keeper is a matter of definition. Or taste. Or sympathy. It's incomparable between two perspectives.
Would City have
conceded less with a different keeper? That's should woulda coulda. Hindsight always works.
And
statistics ALWAYS compare just numbers, but they are missing out the
quality of events, the soft factors. I know a lot about study design in the pharma industry when you need approval for a new drug: you can show anything you want by statistics. You just have to make up your mind first what you want to prove and then setup the perfect statistical design. Ask Churchill... ;-)
Bottom line: it's okay to argue a bit when we are bored, but scapegoating and witch hunting is against fundamental values and has a taste. I don't like that, and I feel many others on here as well. We just ask for a bit of a balanced view. IMO.
