Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[geoff clipp]

What happens if we get to the final? Don't think this is quite the same situation as when we've had a "cup goalie" as such. He's out of the first team because of his form so does that mean Bravo's entitled to keep his place in something as important as a cup final? (especially given Willy helped get us through the earlier rounds anyway). Whatever the case, you'd defo want Cabellero in goal in the event it went to penalties.

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.

One could argue though that his benefits outweighed his deficits today. It's not that black and white (better keeper at saving = the better we perform) as some posters would suggest with our GKs.

Worst keeper I've ever seen at city can't believe some suggesting he's not at fault or is unlucky.

This.
Woeful.

Take a look at the bloody replay, the ball clearly takes a significant deflection and the defence is way out of position but Bravo is at fault?

It was shit defending all round but he could have done better too. I would put the blame collectively on the midfield, defence and him for that goal.

Bread and butter save that for any decent keeper, slight deflection or not.
The guy is simply not up to the job and is the weakest link.

Not read all posts but anyone else notice it was Bravo with a lovely pass that started the move for Sergio's second goal ?

That tonight was an absolute howler. If you don't think a keeper, any keeper, should be saving that then you rate him even less than I do. If you are laying the blame elsewhere, finding excuses for it going in, you are basically stating that you have zero expectation of our keeper making even the most basic of saves.
