he should have come off his line for the 1st......and for the second if he was positioned more central he should have got a hand to it
Sorry but if you're blaming him for those goals then you're beyond biased.

He may be a little harsh but I have sympathy for his points.
For the first goal Bravo is completely rooted to his line. The header is from 6 yards. Had he been more commanding and come off his line he could have taken the cross. Having said that, I don't think you can blame Bravo for the first goal.
For the 2nd...he is nowhere near it. There are two reasons for this and this has been shown many times this season. 1 Bravo is not instinctive and is slow to react (age) and 2 Bravo is too short to be a good shot stopper at 6foot. He does not have the reach that you want / need from a GK. he doesn't even get close.
At the end of the day Pep has gone for a keeper whose primary strength is as our first line of attack (distribution and possession from the back) when I and many others want a keeper whose primary purpose and strength is last line of defence.
He is an absolute liability of a defensive keeper hence why those that agree with the Pep will talk about his distribution and passing accuracy.
When you have a liability of a back four (which we do this year) you really need the opposite "style" of keeper to what Bravo is.

As the previous poster said, to blame him for the goals today is beyond biased.

Not sure I blamed him per se, but gave reasons for why he and City continue to let easy goals in that other keepers would do better with (2nd today).
I do think his lack of height and age are big factors. I guess we can blame his parents rather than Bravo on both counts.
Loris, who gifted us 2 goals today also made a couple of fine saves...fully stretched out. Bravo cannot and would not have made those saves. I think Lloris and other keepers could have done better with Spurs' 2nd today.

either do what we did with Joe and get him warm with some other saves to make, or stop leaving him with the only 2 things to all game being save the pretty damn impossible.
Lloris was the example of shit fucking keeping today. I'd be absolutely soul-destroyed if I was Bravo, it's a wonder he can even turn up these days, must be brutal being him.

Thought biggest culprit for Spurs 1st goal was Clichy, gave Walker (I think it was Walker) far too much room to get the cross in.
Thought the second Spurs goal was savable

Ever heard of a JOKE. Or should I have put a smiley face after it. Jeez.
yes, when it's a 1am and I've been out, smiley faces and big "this is a fucking joke BJL_City" are required.
You can't expect me to be intelligent all of the time. Fuckwittery is par for the course as far as I'm concerned.
p.s. neon signs are preferable.
