Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[bondsman]

Not one team in the PL would swap their keeper for him, that tells me he's not good enough for a club wanting to achieve what we do

Exactly right

Exactly right

It looks to me like some people want him to fail.

I certainly don't want him to fail, quite the opposite in fact. As I'm sure most City fans don't, bar a few in this thread who would prefer to be vindicated.

The goal conceded today was pretty awful once again though. His distribution was good, but there's no excuse for letting that one in. It's odd, because he's obviously a highly competent keeper - you don't achieve what he has in his career, with both Barca and Chile if not - but it's just not working out for him at City.

I think Caballero's error for the first at Chelsea was equally bad, so there's no quick fix this season. It's patently obvious there will be a new number one next season though.

NO!!!
I dont want this team to fail because of him, whatever his problem is I dont care. It`s not like it`s Zaba or Vinny and it isnt a care home for bruise ego`s and lack of confidence for players with little or no history at our club

I will be shocked if we do not buy a new keeper. Today showed yet again that he is flawed as a keeper.

Barcelona must be laughing all the way to the bank. 17mln for Bravo. he has been shocking. From his debut to now. He just cannot stop shots.

Why some still try and convince otherwise is beyond me. Nice bloke he might be. Lacking confidence he may be. A great link player and with his feet he is.

But he cannot stop shots. Has been a very expensive mistake.

You're not wrong.

Another 12 pages of slagging him off today.

Unbelievable!

He's not an expensive mistake. There's an equal chance you get 75% of a players quality that you'll get 125%. In this case it might have gone so low as 50% :( ... Case in point KDB this year versus last year. Don't buy for one second that this has been a mistake financially or in the transfer as a whole. I will say that it's a results oriented game and that a new keeper will come. He's not as bad as he's appears. c'est la vie

Like, i think it was Zin said earlier, what he has done is help teach the team Guardiola's way, and if playing out from the goalie is so important to Pep, and Bravo has helped teach the team how to do that, then he's not been that bad a buy.

just a shame he can't save shots for shit.

 

[super_city_si]

Can't seem to save anything which is less than ideal for a goalie ;)
I wouldn't be surprised if he's still here next season though as number 2. If he accepts that that is. We NEED a new number 1.
