What specifically did he do wrong today? or what didn't he do right?
Genuine questions.
Anyone?

IMO if the back four becomes more settled so will he. The goal on Saturday comes from a Zabba error, Bravo will probably say himself he could maybe have done better but the blame IMO goes to Zabba for being weak as piss.
We urgently need a settled back line. Five clean sheets in fourteen is shocking but don't let people fool you and says it's all down to Bravo. It's a collective. Joe Hart would not be keeping clean sheets in this team.

Stop avoiding the elephant in the room - Could you take Joe Corrigan in a fight?

Yeah well, defending is the other 50% of football.

More seriously. A clown that can pass a bit may not be the answer beyond this season.

I am a fan of Bravo but was amazed at said stats , it just shows what a good keeper he is even with a defence in front of him that is still learning a system and finding its feet .

Some sarcastic souls might think you're being a bit generous there No.64.
Elevating our back players to the status of being "a defence" might suggest a degree of organisation.

I've recently taken to referring to it as our "back line" if that helps at all?

Even calling it a line is generous considering the way Otamendi 'defends'.

It's a difficult proposition altogether.
There must be some suitable description somewhere, but I don't for the life of me know where to search for it.
