Well then plain wrong I must be. I was a keeper for 22 years at both junior and senior level and can say it's easy to cast assertions on a keeper for a goal without knowledge, understanding the roll or being privy to the pace, speed and bend of the ball. I have watched and re-watched every performance (yes I'm sad) and I can point to 2 incidents that he could be culpable, factor in language, a new, strange team, with shit defending, a new country and different type of football then through 18 games this potential error average is far better than most. Hart I liked as well but to think Joe was flawless and needs to come back is wrong, he had far more feck ups than Bravo and had a suspect left side. Regardless of the disagreement in performances the verbal abuse and venum aimed toward him is counterproductive to not only his confidence but to that of the entire team and in my eyes is totally anti City

I know all of Joes faults and similarly I know football well enough that the keeper was in a poor position for Williams goal or his pass at Barca was poor as was his handling at Old Trafford.

We could discuss the merits of both keepers all night and I was not a huge Joe Hart fan for some of the reasons you posted and I completey agree about criticism by blues on social media, in the ground etc.

What I cannot agree with on is how you have demonised fans, tried to stifle an opinion by pulling out the influenced by the media as if anyone who has a differing opinion to you is some lemming without the intelligence to form an individual opinion. Sadly it is one of the worst aspects of the forum

There's a huge difference between expressing an opinion on here, which you and others do constantly, and undermining a player publicly. I think that even those of us who back Bravo accept he didn't do as well as he might have done for the 2nd & 3rd Chelsea. But he's been competent in most other things he's done. Stones was more at fault for the rags' goal than Bravo was and if Silva hadn't wandered away from King at Leicester then he probably wouldn't have got the time to get a shot in for the second goal.
 
I'm not convinced by Bravo, and wish we'd get Joe back, but there's absolutely no excuse for being sarcastic to him at the game, that's fucking out of order. When a guy is on the pitch wearing City colours he deserves our full support. No exceptions, no excuses. We get behind our own.

I am aware there is a huge difference, hence in both posts on the subject I have agreed that the slating of a player at the ground is not to my taste.

We all express an opinion on here, including you. If we didn't it would be pretty pointless posting. But people, in my opinion, should not be accused of being rags, wums, influenced by the media just because it is not a view reflected by others. All it does is close down debate.

As for your points about Stones, King you may have noticed I said "culpable along with others". I also do not think he is the worst keeper I have ever seen, but is part of a defence which looks very brittle.

Find a brick wall and bang your head against it, would be as much use and probably more economical

100% correct. Decision has been made - I've criticised SOME of his performances on here, but end of the day he's a City player. Never boo a blue, or take the piss!!

Not convinced myself at the minute,but I'm hoping he turns it around.
Think there is an element of our support who thought that when Pep was announced,we'd never lose again!
