Charity Shield - Post Match Thread

Plenty of reasons to be cheerful after yesterdays performance, Mendy is like a steam train going down the left. Him and Sane will terrorise right backs this season. Bernado top quality in the centre of the pitch. We gave the ball away more times then Pep would like and the finishing could have been better, City can improve and I thought that last season even after walking the league we still have the capacity to get better which must scare the living daylights out of everyone else in the league.

Thats not what i said,whether the other side take the chances or not he still gives them a big chance every game,whether he leaves the goal open as in the last 2 prem games or he is spilling the ball at their feet,his distribution is good but the basic goal keeping skills are put to shame by most of the keepers in the prem

He`s a fooking big hazard waiting to happen pet.One day he will cost us dearly.
 
Hugely enjoyable day with a fantastic turn-out from City fans. Foden and Bernardo were magnificent. They destroyed Jorghinio so perhaps we dodged a bullet there. Chelsea fans we met were great and certainly share our dislike of Liverpool and the Rags. Not getting carried away and I think Arsenal and Wolves away will be much sterner tests.
 
The fact is Bravo might be a really nice guy (I'm sure he is), but the fact is he has proved he is not good enough as a stand in, when there is so much at stake, a couple of bad errors could cost us the league.

I never really rated Joe either, he always tried to save to many shots with his outstretched legs. Pep didn't rate him either because of his poor distribution.

To be honest, I was a big fan of Willy's, he never let us down.

The last time we had TWO decent keepers was Harry Dowd/Ken Mulhearn (RIP) in 1968.
 
Wonderful start to the season. The first time we have won this trophy at Wembley. Really impressed with the Chelsea players for lining up and applauding the players when they went up for the trophy ‘chapeau’.

Every goalkeeper costs you dearly one day. It's a unique and tough position to play. If he's happy to be number 2 without kicking up a fuss, then I'm happy.
 
perfect display for the charity shield, so many positives. Was worried about only one major signing, not now though. Foden is ready, he wont get into double figures for starts in the PL but he will play a part, he has matured well.

Enjoyable game.

Mendy is going to cause our opponents major problems.

Interesting that we were so committed to play it out from the back on goal kicks even under extreme pressure. Last season we'd often kick it long if the press was very aggressive.

Bravo is not exactly the best or most confident shot stopper around on current form, but he is one of the few keepers, not just in epl but across all the big leagues, who is both good enough with the ball to allow us to play our natural game and also willing to be no 2 (though I suspect not very willingly!)

So finally you got the point about Bravo.
Took some time though ;-)

Oh karen, I really share 98% of your opinions,
but your double standards re Joe Mr. Universe Hart and other City keepers are hard to take, ever since.
 
Cannot understand the willingness to make Bravo the scapegoat i prefer to see the good in him. Firstly he has improved from his first season ,he was the main guy to thank for our lc trophy being the hero in at least three earlier matches not forgetting the penalty saves. Also his passing and movement from the back allows us to keep PEPS system He has to wait for on the bench but doesnt whinge and create a bad atmosphere
