I want to like him but he can't save a fucking thing!

Not sure it needs a mention, straight after a decisive win, tbh.

Some can't help themselves unfortunately.

No mention of our defence ball watching leaving Bunn completely unmarked?

Didn't think so.

Doesn't matter. Shot was still straight at him and he let it go in under him. Willy is rightly the number 1 keeper now.

 

[Clercqs]

He was excellent with his feets today.

I think based on that goal conceded people have a right to have a go at him. No defence will be impenetrable. That's what a keeper is for, to pick up scraps when the defence gets beat.

I've seen Year 4 students save that kind of goal with their feet this morning. I don't know what coaching book says to dive to your ankles to save a ball.

The goal was entirely down to the defence letting Bravo down again. And as his his luck'd have it, the ball takes yet another gnarly deflection in a last ditch effort by a desperately late defender. Not much he could've done tbh but don't let that keep you from writing him off.
I think he had a decent game overall and he was pretty vital and precise in the build up.

Didn't think so.

Or the deflection that took it from hitting him, to going under him.

Wonder if these posters immediately searching for negatives have already posted all their positive comments about our good performance - or have taken the first opportunity to criticise a player instead.

Doesn't matter. Shot was still straight at him and he let it go in under him. Willy is rightly the number 1 keeper now.

In fact it got a little deflection that directed the ball right to his arms.

I think he is simply very unlucky. But some of his touches and especially the chip to Garcia made his contribution worth watching. Pity defenders played in by him hardly have the guts to turn around and start a move. The same that went asleep when Huddersfield broke free and scored.

The thing is, Willy has had the same thing done on him a few times. And Hart too against better oppositions like Messi who can be unmarkable. They have a better chance of blocking and saving than Bravo at the moment.
