Agree Clichy was bobbins today - however, Bravo NEVER seems to make those wonder saves that help win games - that said, it's his first season and a huge change in culture for him - though it's a cliché it's early days.Bullshit, both of those have been far more culpable than Bravo this season, Clichy had another mare again today, needs fucking off pronto and stones looks like an accident waiting to happen each week. We're talking about basic passes and they can't find a teammate more often than not, especially in Clichy's case. That's fuck all to do with Bravo
What I want to know is where HAS the fighting ( to the end) spirit gone. When we went 2 goals down it was as though we just gave up. Sloppy passing, no pressure on the ball, no real attempt to try to get something from the game and we never looked like scoring.
We are short of leaders on the pitch, Zabbas powers are fading and when Aguero is not on form the team misfires too.Yaya does his best but he isn't really a leader.
As for tikki - takka, would that be lamb or chicken? !

EB has it nailed-it's a fucking pie in the sky model at best - we lost our bollocks when the Spanish Armada turned up - tip tap copy Barca shit- but without the mentality, heritage , togetherness and will to work that makes a once in a lifetime model work.
We are nowhere near Barca, Bayern or fucking United for that matter.
It's wank- and Pep hasn't the spuds for it.
A couple go in low to his left, and MOTD (Lineker) mentions it. Then you you look at his record - best clean sheet record in the Prem for 5 years (second best record in the other year) - 5 years direct comparison with Ge Gea. Alright then, allow De Gea a settling-in year - bested him for four years then - and the rest as they came along. For England he has a seriously better clean sheet record than Neuer has for Germany. Six or so more clean sheets in six fewer games. Neuer has played his entire international career behind one of the greatest defence and midfields of all time. 'But Germany go deeper into tournaments' some say. Well ain't that because they've been top two in the world for god knows how long and always play inferior opposition. Whenever Joe makes a mistake the media magnify it. They don't like him. He makes fewer mistakes than other goalkeepers - that's why he has the best record. Remember De Gea's three massive howlers in the Euros ? Media made no fuss, but made a point of Hart not making a couple of saves that he normally would. Watch Neuer closely. Watch him on the rare occasions he's under pressure. He flaps and concedes. Commentators make excuses for him all the time. For me, Buffon is the best in the world. He rates Hart, as does Messi.So long as you don't shoot low to his left.
