Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[SWP's back]

No, he's not. And your response makes me suspect you're not a Manc.

(Pardon me if I'm wrong but you'll soon be along to tell me if I am.)

Well he plays for us, so how isn't he?

Hart from Manchester now?

 

[mosssideblue]

you can't really blame him for the two goals yesterday. they did after all fall between the posts so not much he could do.
our throwing away 2 points was completely down to pep. we were gifted 2 goals off a sorry spurs. with kolorov and clichy in the side to begin with that was a miracle as it was.
stones/vinny or both should have been on the moment the second goal went in.

For a Mod, you obviously know exactly where the line is for wumming.

 

[Machiavelli]

Fair comment and it's harsh on the lad that he should be a major talking point yesterday in particular. The problem is he's a cuckoo in the nest. Guardiola took a calculated (arguably cynical) decision to exile Hart. Had his man risen to the occasion, he would have got away with it. In the event, Bravo has been useless and hence the gamble has backfired.

Pep may well be the closest thing we have to a footballing god, but Mancs are a critical audience who look after "their own".

A string of good performances would still see Bravo out of the shit. Conversely, the longer the mediocrity continues, the longer this thread will grow.

Biggest load of shite I've read all day. Joe's from Shrewsbury not Bury.

And I'm a Manc.

1. One of us by a narrow definition only.
2. Precisely why "one of us" was in inverted commas**

** That's 66 and 99 by the way.

Sorry about the impolite retort but you weren't innocently seeking an opinion to mull over, were you?

Yes I was. I genuinely don't understand why one is "one of us" and one isn't.

So Kolarov is one of us as he's been here ages but Sane and G.Jesus aren't.

I can't agree with the logic.

I'd say all players are "one of us".

except when it goes against the narrative

What a bizarre thing to say. Gen question which players in our squad don't fall into the category of not being one of our own?

Steve McManaman and Bravo, both stepping down to play for City on their last big contract. Both putting in similar effort.

to you it might be because its the truth. I have resigned myself to the fact if the ball is on target we concede. now forgive me for bringing you down to earth but that is EXACTLY what happens game after game. even you with your dreamt up stats and pathetic deflection from the point can't deny it.

near me fans were singing "are you Bravo in disguise" at Loris.

dress it up all you like. he's not good enough.
