So after last night ... What's your verdict?

Bravo

Bravo but would be more than happy with Willy for all the cup games.

Willy was poor last night, did he make a save? kicked the ball out of play a tonne and was generally a walking heart attack.

Its not even close.

And..... The next two champs league games. However as we head further forward then Bravo.

Don't trust Willy, will get you into trouble.

Pep was telling Willy to go long in that second half. I wonder if he would have done the same if Bravo was in net? Pep didn't seem to have the confidence we could play it from the back through Barca with Willy.

It worked a treat, I can imagine Joe Hart watching and saying "I can do that better".

Bravo went long quite a bit against the Baggies too, 12 long balls in all according to Whoscored.

I thought Willy had a good game myself.. sure a couple/few of his short balls out to Kolarov were dodgy as hell but other than that he did lots right.

I like Willy's passion. He wears his heart on his sleeve.

Overall, Willy is better, I think he is a keeper that does not make mistakes, but also doesn`t save that much.

But the foot game of Bravo is far better than our Big Will, so, I think he will start. But Caballero is a guy who was there every time we needed him, a true pro.

Team orders second half were to hoof it up, put pressure on their defence and take no chances of presenting the ball to the 3 stooges. Sort of guided Willy's game a bit. Bravo is a few classes above IMHO

I like Willy

Oh, and I thought he did an decent job last night if I am honest. Having said that, I was happiest when the ball was nowhere near him

Do you prefer Willy bald or a little hair?

He even had his own song about 45 years ago

Yeah me too.

On this decision my heart says Willy but head bravo

Honestly don't mind these days Rural, anyway they come is good with me

When we finally get it right, to Pep's satisfaction, we'll be having possession stats of over 80% in every game, we'll be playing the opposition off the park irrespective of who they are and we'll be abundantly scoring all the goals our inventive approach play merits.

At that point in time, it won't matter who we have in goal, it will all be academic but, until then, Bravo for me.

You honestly think Willy is a better keeper than Bravo?

I like Willy, love his passion, seems a good guy but hes second choice for a reason for four years, hes a good second choice but not good enough to be first choice for us or any of our rivals.

Do you all envisage Bravo being at City long term?
I may be totally barking up the wrong tree, but I get the impression he's a stopgap.
