Some fuckers are moody as fuck on here

Well argued.

Well argued.

go and smoke a joint mate....you need it

Well argued.

I don't think it's howling at the moon. Pep himself dropped him after those blunders highlighted in that clip. He must have noticed his errors or he wouldn't have taken him out for so long

But that's like saying we should blindly follow Theresa May because the people put her in charge, or trump etc. Just because I have a reservation over a player does not mean I don't like or support the manager. It means on a few issues I disagree that's all. I've never knocked sane or sterling as I have no reason to. I've always stuck up for players like yaya and tevez because they performed. The only players I've ever had issue with is bony and bravo. I had reservations about Fernandinho when he arrived but was very quick to hold my hands up and praise him.

But you're suggesting that the whole game plan is wrong. Pep has used keepers that can act as the 11th man his whole career. It's intrinsic to his game plan.

The player he bought is more than capable of both. What he isn't doing is saving anything at present. That's either a form, confidence or age thing (where's he's fallen off a cliff never to recover). But he's always been an excellent shot stopper.

So fire away saying he's currently less use than a cone at stopping shots if it makes you feel better. But if you feel that you must attack the way we play (and the reason the previously excellent Bravo was brought in) then you'll be banging your head against a wall for however long we have the current manager.

exactly PEP dropped him for a reason.....he brought him back and maybe he will keep his place maybe not. We shall see.

Plenty think he is not a great goal keeper right now though.

I wonder why.

Lets hope he turns it around.

But we did hire Pep. And we want a keeper to be able to do both. Pep isn't interested in doing what the other teams do, that why we hired him.

And that's why he bought a keeper with 120+ caps that has spent the last decade doing both and being voted in the top five keepers in the world because of that.

Everyone can see that he isn't remotely doing that for City right now but the poor fucker needs support and confidence, not a pack of jackals at his back saying he's shit. He's patently not, just like Sterling wasn't when not in form, just like Sane wasn't likewise.

He's definitely more capable as a stopper than we have seen. Some technical aspects of his goalkeeping game have been very good, his handling has mostly been excellent.

Pep and the players see him in training, where he faces, I assume, plenty of decent shots that he stops. If he didn't, there's no way Pep would have put him back in the side and you wouldn't see Kolarov telling the crowd to get behind like he did yesterday if he thought Bravo was a waste of space.

You're still not getting it.

It's howling at the moon to suggest that the ten outfield players alone will satisfy what Pep wants for retaining and recycling possession.

Nothing to do with dropping Bravo or having a go at his traditional keeping skills.

Ah. Exaplains a bit about you.

Am I saying who whole system is wrong ? I'm saying that perhaps we made a mistake with bravo and he can't handle the intensity of the leagues attack. I think pep has held his hands up to that by dropping Bravo. I think he realises he needs both distribution and great shot stopping skills in a keeper. I think he will try and remedy it in the summer.

And that video wasn't intended to take the piss. It may embarrass some in here but those mistakes happened and we can't brush it under the carpet. We can't keep making it like they didn't happen.

 

[SWP's back]

leave the personal shit out pal ok

There's some class hypocrisy.

Every time you've addressed me you have done whilst making snide and personal statements "you woke up in a mood", "you need a joint" whilst every post of mine has been aimed at discussing our manager, our tactics and the performance of our goalkeeper.

If you can't do the same then stop quoting or replying and it's not remotely on topic.
