I see the logic in starting Bravo. Quite simply he's Peps number one and the only way he will improve is by being on the pitch.
Understandably that's not going to go down well with some but Pep doesn't come across as somebody who doesn't have courage in his convictions.
Pep can be a stubborn bugger as we have seen with his treatment of Hart, Aguero, Yaya. The ironic cheering of Bravo on wednesday might have convinced him that now, more than ever, he wants to show his support for Bravo.
