Are you a season card holder!! If you are I suggest you open your ears and speak to the people around you
Where I sit in East level 1, the majority believe that we've hugely regressed in the keeper department. It doesn't matter in what way the manager wants us to play out from the back. The simple fact is that if the opposition have a decent effort at goal the chances are it will will result in them scoring. We're gifting chances so it's fucking nailed on that Bravo will concede. I honestly don't believe we'll ever see him play a blinder
Just as one example, look at that Crystal Palace goal the other week.
If Pep wants someone good with their feet in goal who can pick a pass but isn't bothered if he isn't good enough making saves, then he should just chuck Yaya in nets (no I'm not being serious with that suggestion)
Most are putting Bravo in their predicted team because they know he will be first on the team sheet. Surely you can grasp that!

2. I agree we are conceding too many chances, which is more the issue. With the best will in the world, we are as equally likely to concede no matter who is in nets.
3. He is in most team selections for a reason..
4. A clown and fucking useless, he is not. Some fans however...
I'm firmly in the Joe Hart camp but we are where we are and Bravo is the man, like it or not, we have to get behind him and trust the best manager on the planet to pick the right people and bring the results in as the team adapts and his vision for us is realised. How about leaving it at that?
But Bravo is 33 years old. De Gea when he started with Utd was about 22.He's made over 400 club appearences and has 110 international caps so clearly has some ability. He hasn't had the greatest of starts but no worse than De Gea in his first season. I think we should cut him a huge amount of slack until he's played behind a settled defence for more than a handful of games.
Agree with you mate not been that impressed so far still have him ahead of willy thoughEverybody picks Bravo why? He is uesless on crosses and as a shotstopper. Willy is better and that says something!
Cant help but think you might be right. Actually think it will be 1-1 but we need a win. Without Otemendi, Ferna Aguero it wil, be tough.The foxes will have 2 attempts on goal and score both from long balls into the huge space behind whilst we are dicking about on the halfway line

I think Bravo is useless and will continue to cost us dearly. Has he had a great game yet? Dont think so. The only mitigation is that he has a very poor defence in front of him.
I think it's pretty daft to dismiss a keeper of his pedigree as "useless". He's had a difficult start to his City career, and I'm not yet convinced that he's an upgrade on Hart, but he deserves a bit more respect than that. You don't win the honours that he as if you're useless.
There is so much wrong with that statement Ric
You can pick out numerous very average rag players, such as John O'Shea, who's trophy cabinet is overflowing
Oh Bollocks!
I've just posted again about a player in the Leicester pre match thread
I'm going for a 3-2 City win in another nailbiter as Leicester keep catching us on the break

Cheers mate, staying just down the road from the station so I'm sure a pub crawl will ensue ;-)
great post. What it shows is that we have to score at least two to win. I know that is obvious but champions do need a number of 1-0 wins.Since beating Bournemouth at home 4-0 on the 17th September our goals against read as:
1, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1
That is 16 games with one clean sheet, absolutely utterly pathetic - I don't know how anybody could argue with that.
It is of cause not just down to one individual player but a collective failure of the whole team, do I think it will improve - not seen anything on the pitch to think it will.
Face facts either the players are not good enough or Pep is hopeless at coaching defensive tactics.
Leicester will score of that I have no doubt, we will have to put our chances away or a defeat is on the cards however bad Leicester have been.
