Claudio Bravo

[waspish]

Hahahahahaha

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

How tall is he? Read he is around 5 foot 2

No, you're getting him mixed up with Ron Healey

 

[Plain Speaking]

Best case scenario he was unwilling to change because he was too scared to fail.

Worst case scenario he was deliberately ignoring the new manager as some sort of petulant act of rebellion, and if that's true, he should be out the door already.

I think your interpretation is very presumptuous. No one knows what's going on in Hart's mind. It could be just auto-pilot, he has been trained for decades to clear his lines to keep clean sheets maybe he was not confident with the makeshift defence?

 

[The Doctor]

Just football. Just not rated.

Thanks TH

Joe Hart has always been very poor with the ball, both with his feet and and hands.

I think "very poor" is putting it too strongly.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Bravo is just six foot, 2 inches smaller than Lloris and almost 5 inches smaller than Hart. Set pieces from the likes of Payet and Coutinho would likely find it easier to put the ball out of his reach?

Who gives a shit if he was confident with the makeshift defence? It was a preseason friendly! Why would he be on autopilot?

Pep clearly sent them out to work on building out from the back.

Caballero wasn't comfortable with the centre-backs, he's also been trained to clear his lines, but it doesn't matter because the coach clearly asked them to change. Why did Caballero manage to do what the manager asked, while Hart was completely incapable?

Luis Enrique when asked about Claudio Bravo: "I'm interested in Supercopa."
Barcelona boss, Luis Enrique: "There are so many assumptions and many conditionals. I want three goalkeepers in the first team."

It isnt. Have a look at the amount of times he's caught the ball, then looked where to throw it and just been unable to make up his mind, which lets the opposition get back in their shape, only to then hoof it long. He's probably the worst in the league at this alone.

Yes, he's a bloody top drawer shot stopper, but there are a lot of gaps in his overall ability, none moreso than his ability to read the game tbh.

I'm well aware of his shortcomings, but I wouldn't put it in those terms.
