Claudio Bravo - 2016/2017 performances (continued)

[cookster]

So is bravo holding a gun to their head, forcing them? Nope. The distribution was very good today, the goalkeeping not so much.

the goalkeeping not so much

Apologies, I thought he was our Goal Keeper.

Thought he was excellent first half. You could clearly see why and how he fits the system Pep wants.

Like the rest he was shit second half. Could have done better with the last two. But hardly howlers. Had no chance with the first two.

All this just so pep could make a political statement coming into the club...I still back pep to come good but I suspect we have another version of Wenger on our hands..And pep and reality are just not good mates

"People cheering when Bravo caught the ball"

It may not be ironic cheering. Just saying ;)

Most people accepted that Joe probably wasn't good enough, but if you make a decision to replace him for a 'keeper with no premier league experience you better make damn sure you're right. The manager didn't play the percentages on this one and with hindsight it was a bad decision. We are where we are. Get behind whoever's picked and sort it at the end of the season.

Your post referred to us playing from the keeper, yes? That was fine today. For what its worth, he is 100% blameless for at least the first 2 goals, if not he third as well, so he didnt lose us the game. He hasnt been great, but i am still willing to give him more time. We will know by the end of the season if he is good enough or if he is a once good keeper past his best.

Bullshit. He saved a penalty v spurs, and until our defence fell apart, his save ratio was the best in the prem. Not saying he has been great, and the 4th today was shit, but he didnt lose us the game. Put it his way, had hart onceded those first 3, would anyone be slating him? Doubt it. Feel sorry for bravo, great professional and a top keeper,mbut it just isnt working right now. If he starts v spurs, for the love of god, i hope our fans dont embaass themselves.

Doubt very much that Hart would have conceded the third

 

[BurnCK]

Oh fuck off. I never said he was good.the entire team were shit but I suppose bellends need to blame some ****.

Are people blaming him for the defeat? The game was over at 2-0, neither goal his fault but he certainly could have done better for 3 and 4. Hart would have been out big, smothering those.

The point is that he just seems to get beaten by every half decent shot that comes his way. I can't think of a single game he's saved us points. He's also only got 4 clean sheets. Only the keepers in the bottom 4 teams have less.

Pretty much this. If anyone can turn this around though, its a keeper with the experience and pedigree of bravo. It takes mental strength to captain your country to their first ever titles... time to show what you are made of claudio.

If he would have starfished then the ball still would have gone over his head. Had davies put it to the side of bravo and in, i would see your point, but imo its very harsh on bravo.

how?
he was brought in to play football.
how many goals have we scored that has resulted in him "passing" the ball out? in fact ...how many chances have we actually created from him , never mind goals.
peps system, what a load of shite mate. any keeper we already had could easily do what bravo has done with the addition of doing what a goalkeepers job is to and that is to stop the ball going across the line.
he doesnt communicate
he doesnt command
he doesnt make himself big
he turns his back
he panics
he makes shocking panic passes
hes a fucking disaster
