Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[mancityvstoke]

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.

no problem mate ....

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.

Maybe pep thought he was ready to come back, but he made another pretty basic mistake which may be down to being overwhelmed by the demands of the league. Doing it in training is one thing but he has the spotlight on him at games, maybe it's too much scrutiny to take.

And as for kolorov, we all know he has form for getting angry with the spectators. He's had confrontations with fans on a few occasions

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.

I hope he remedies it in the summer, not because Bravo is crap (which he'll prove if we sell him) but because it's not working for him here, like it didn't Di Maria or Savic or any number of other players.

Your post I took issue with was regards using 11 men to recycle the ball as "other teams don't". Bravo should be doing both. He was bought to do both. He's paid to do both. He's always done both. But he's only doing half his job at present for whatever reason and it's fucking painful to watch.

So we can talk about poor performances and mistakes but not show them?

why? why highlight them? the are not even city vids. have your say on here, we all do but that's as far as we need to go.

 

[BlueS]

agreed. I have removed them. discuss his ability but lets not take the piss.
food and drink to the media agenda anyway.

you didn't remove the Clownio post did you? have you still got the outfit btw?

well played though, sensible post.

How was posting that video, which didn't conatin any snide laughter or such from the poster about it, any different to someone posting;

"Remember that time he couldn't trap a bag of cement and nearly gifted the ball to Rooney? Shocking ball control"

Why is it any different to show that instance rather than type it?

It's not...

I think I agree with this post entirely

I just think they are over the top. I can't be doing with the lad, to me he's very poor, but there is still a level of respect we should stick to.

we're on the same page,
we're on the same page,
more distribution,
less of the saves.

crazy isn't it, having to accept a new style of goalkeeper that we have never seen before, grassroots up.
