Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[mosssideblue]

its a weird one isn't it. obviously much better than he is showing here. it has to be his home life, he can't be happy or settled imo. sadly we can't accommodate that. he has been gash and there is no glossing over that, of course he could have a terrific pre season and come back all singing and dancing but as someone else said we simply cannot risk it. would I keep him as a number two? no is the answer. if he is unhappy pay the lad off and let him go home.

before Wembley if poss :)

Talk about being desperate, your now making/imagining shit up to try and gain some traction in your bias against him.

No, there wasn't concern, there was an atmosphere of "This c*nt better be fucking flawless or else". A large segment of the fans were desperate for an opportunity to moan about Guardiola getting rid of Hart, they couldn't wait, and whether his mistake had come in the united game, or 2 months down the line, some members of this forum were salivating at the idea of him cocking up, backed up by the same "this foreign passing out from the back lark aint for me, what's wrong with defenders who just lump it into row z" attitude that already existed.

The old Bravo thread has been taken down but you could see it in the comments before his debut, he was already on the chopping block before the United game, and afterwards you'd think we'd lost the game because of him, not put in one of the most dominant displays in years at the swamp - a game which would have been 4 or 5 if not for some laughably bad finishing from the front 4.

This, and then this again

He doesn't need to gain traction against him, I would say he uses his eyes at the game, it isn't bias either.

Bravo has not been very good at his main job of stopping the ball hitting the net, he has been good bar the odd bad pass at moving the ball around from the back, it is no point you saying it is what Pep wants because I am damned well sure Pep doesn't want every shot against hitting the back of the net, even if Bravo was pinging hollywood balls around for 90 minutes, it becomes pointless if he can't save anything hit at him, I have never seen anything like it in my life, the shots to goals percentage is unbelievable for a top class international keeper.

1 mistake on his debut doesn't justify the groans and grumbles from the crowd that he was met with every time the ball was passed back to him in his first few games at home.

He had performed pretty well in his games after that against BMG, Spurs away, Swansea away but then when he came back to the Etihad he was faced with derision from a section of City fans.

Which "1 mistake on his debut" did you mean? The goal which he was at fault for, the God awful touch where how he got away without giving a penalty and red card - which given he was at Old Trafford I will never know how, or the one where he came off his line and got nowhere near the ball. That's from memory - there were probably more. I can't recall a single "genuinely good game" he has had. He has had games where he has done nothing wrong absolutely but not one single solitary game where I have walked out and thought "great game by Bravo". He may have been great before and may be great afterwards - but here and now for us he is very poor - to such a degree it is like a bit April Fool for the whole season on us. And slagging him off on here I can't see massively affecting him - I doubt he spends his time reading Internet forums in a language he probably doesn't fully understands

There is an argument to say he has been very good at it. As, by keeping the ball the amount of shots against us has been limted

A heavy touch is a mistake now is it?

Don't get your point at the end, nobody said anything about what's said on here affecting him.

Of course a heavy touch is a mistake. What else is it - let's just sell our midfield and buy a non league midfield that can't trap a bag of cement on that basis. It was 100 percent an error

Tbf it really is mistake, he didn't intend to try and trap it 6 feet away and let Rooney have a sniff, not sure how you stand on his two footed lunge on the twat mistake or not ? I thought we were lucky to get away with it myself.

 

[pudge]

There's little difference, if any, if there are those who wait for a mistake to say "I told you so" and those who voted for him as MOTM against Hull; that's like when Pep has to tell the media how amazingly proud he is of a player who he knows will get it in the neck the next day.

Both are stubborn attitudes; not "one's being a blue" and all that bollocks.

A very very very poor one.
