Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[kaz7]

I thought Bravo just had a decent distribution game last night because Hiddersfield played into Pep's hands. I don't think a PL or CL team would be that bad in losing a lot of ball possession and leaving players unmarked in a lot of space.

I think a better team wouldn't have let him do it and would have had a lot more shots at him and he's lacking the confidence to cope with that

I like this - be hilarious if Pep starts using the phrase " pissing around at the back " in his team talks ?

I think he should. That's how everyone round me sees it. It's like they've never seen a Guardiola team play.

People slate the media for having their claws out for Pep, but a lot of our own fans are no different and seem to yurn for the days of Joe Royal and his 6 centre halves.

Some things never change with some City supporters , and accepting what Pep is trying to introduce causes them problems.

But I personally don't see the point of employing one of the best coaches in the game and then moaning about his tactics.

Prior to his arrival, everyone salivated at the thought of him becoming our boss. They yearned for his forward thinking tactical brilliance. We all knew he was different and we all knew that he would drag English football into the 21st century so its all the more perplexing to see some of them up in arms over it all.

"Pissing around with it" as a few have now called it is absolutely key in dragging the opposition on so as to create the space for us to attack and exploit. To enable that a goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet is also key and Pep isnt going to change that need any time soon.

We won 5-1 last night, end of and for Bravo's poor attempt at a save we could spend hours dissecting every other player out there and some of their mistakes as well if we are going to go down that road.

Get behind Pep, his players, his method and for fucks sake, just enjoy it because at times its spectacular and its beautiful.

Spot on ... many of our fans would be happier with Fat Sam.

Sadly they're comfortable with what they know. What Guardiola is trying to build will simply blow some fans minds!

Two thumbs up from me, mate.

I will also add this.

Right from the get go, especially in the midst of our fantastic start, Pep kept telling us all that due to what he was asking of the players, mistakes would happen, they would cost goals and they would also cost us games but that it was all part of the learning process and short term pain for the long term goal.

Well guess what? He was right, fancy that.

I've made peace with it and have accepted his words in good faith and embraced his plans warts and all because we have to get behind him and what he is going to do for us as a club.

I've run out of thumbs.

The crux of this matter is that bravo was supposed to be a good all round keeper but for whatever reason he is only good at distribution,if he was doing ok at both sides of being a keeper we would all be happy,we all want the best team possible and i hope pep can sort him out soon
