Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[kaz7]

My point is you don't see the bigger picture with Bravo in goal. Or don't appreciate it. But don't worry. You're not alone.
Pity you feel like being treated as a dumb blonde. You take it personal where I don't even know you.

There you go again,i understand very well the bigger picture,he still needs to be able to keep the ball out of the net,his title is goalkeeper

Whilst his shot-stopping leaves a lot to be desired, I fully expect him to be our number one next season. I am hoping that his apparent inability to save a shot at goal is nothing more than a shortage of confidence.

Though the goal he conceded today was deflected, I would still expect most other keepers in the Prem to make such a save. He was slow to react to a shot that wasn't struck with much power.

Considering his glowing reputation and high fee, it's hard not to be disappointed with his performances thus far.

I'll be absolutely dismayed if he is

You do realise we won today and according to the manager you worship Bravo played a big part. And Pep is not only right, it's gone the way he feels his team should play. Most games we spoiled points with Bravo in goal was due to missed chances more than him not stopping shots. Not even talking how many of these goals are actually his fault as the one today. It's again the main talking point today. Not the 3-1. not the win, not Bravos part in creating chances. No ... it's about conceding a goal that most goalkeepers would concede. You and many others can't see Pep's way of playing football yet yo adore him for the wrong reasons. That is being ridiculous.

Bravo might play a part in terms of what he does with his feet (his distribution is undeniably excellent), but that's only part of the story. As a goalkeeper in the traditional sense, he's been a fucking car crash. Turns his back in one on ones, tries to smother the ball feet first, and somehow lets in virtually every shot that comes his way. He's not up to goalkeeping in this league either mentally or physically. My fervent wish is that we buy a keeper in the summer competent in both main aspects (distribution and actually saving the ball) of the art, not just one of them

Sorry but you don't. Pep wants Bravo for his distribution and we create more ie score more. And seriously how many shots that went in were really his fault or howlers? We made more howlers in front of goal tbh. But you and others just let yourself led by the shot stop stats. So no you don't, many don't. That's my opinion like it or lump it I don't care eitherways.

Don't agree and the league has nothing to do with it.

If you think having a goalkeeper that can't save the ball to any degree of satisfaction (I'd argue that he's the worst in the division in that regard at the moment) in our goal is the way forward, you need to spend less time in those 'special' Dutch cafes I hear so much about! ;-)

You're coming out with some proper patronising shite this evening and no mistake!

You need to go there more often John. You might start to understand why Pep has Bravo in the team.
