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'm going for a 3-2 City win in another nailbiter as Leicester keep catching us on the break

I agree that average squad players can have deceptively impressive CVs, but Bravo has also won international honours and individual awards (named in the last two Copa America team of the tournaments for instance). Just find it odd that so many City fans seek to denigrate him after only 15 appearances for the club.

Cheers mate, staying just down the road from the station so I'm sure a pub crawl will ensue ;-)

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.

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:

Missing Aguero, while not good, isn't the biggest loss, for me not having Fernandinho in the middle will definitely test us against the Foxes.
If we can address the loss of Fernandinho, and tighten up at the back, we should be ok

PEP: @sterling7 trained yesterday, hopefully he’ll be fit for #foxesvcity. Delph trained yesterday. All of them are good, no problem. #MCFC
PEP: If we play how we did against Chelsea & Celtic we are going to do good things. Maybe not if we play like we did against Burnley.
PEP: #PL is tough. Leicester remain a very good team. I have a lot of respect for Ranieri. What happened last season was amazing
PEP: Zabaleta can play in the middle. He’s very experienced. I think in the last years of his career he’ll play more in the middle.
