Do you think he'll get worse, be the same or better as he adapts to the league?

I'll go with the former professional keeper view on Bravo.

Doesn't the topic say "He is great with ball"?

Come on now people. Credit where it's due but in terms of goalkeeping Bravo has been shite. End of.


Correct.

And actually when this was posted game was 1-1. But that is besides the point. He hasn't stopped anything from going in.

If he was some youngster I would give him benefit of doubt. But he is 33 and was brought in because he was apparently ready made for Pep's system and keeping goal. Which he isn't doing. Maybe there's something wrong with connections to Dublin though because all dubliners seems persistent that he is somehow anything vut complete disaster.


Didn't he stop Benteke's header yesterday? Or did that that only happen on Dublin connections?


No one has said he has been great but don't think he is been a disaster. Dropped a clanger at swamp and brain fart away to barce don't think any other goals been directly down to him. What keeper would you have signed instead that was available as a matter of interest ? Hart could not have played ball out with this system and had a massive weakness in getting down low to his left which was exposed time after time. Was a great servant to the club but it's sounds like people were down on Bravo because he replaced hart as much as anything he had done wrong. That's not aimed at NQDP


Who is it aimed at?

Would we fuck, the type of goal he conceded on Saturday is the type De Gea consistently concedes yet half this board if not more are stuck up his arse.

And if Joe Corrigan says publicly that bravo is making too many errors what will you go with then?

Sorry mate to be clear its a 'what if' not something that JC has said (as far as I'm aware anyway). I'm picking up on the posters statement where he has gone with the opinion of an ex pro goalkeeper the inference being they will know best. Whilst that's fair enough I'm asking what the poster would do if another ex pro goalkeeper came out with the opposite view as I guess it would put him in a bit of a quandary

Then Sis would have to fight Joe.

Honestly, why are people even asking? It's obvious this is how it will be settled.

I think we are quite unsettled as a defensive unit and have been all season and this is not helping Bravo settle. I think there is added pressure on him as he has replaced a legend at city and I think he is getting a raw deal from quite a lot of fans because of this. I heard some ridiculous comments after Boro scored that he was at fault, utter nonsense. Some people will never ever give him a chance but he will have to live with that.

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.

Shit goalkeepers though.

I reckon Sis would take the three of them together anyway.

Wow three proper anti City planks there looking for absolutely any tiny morsel to beat us with a stick .

Personally I think Bravo has done well overall so far , every keeper on this planet is prone to a clanger from time to time but as Sis has pointed out Bravo,s role is made more difficult playing behind an unsettled defence still learning a complicated system in a frenetic high tempo Premier League . This system has to work for Pep to be a success in England BUT the question is WILL the Premier League with the high press and high energy ALLOW it to happen and be perfected ? This is the REAL question imho !
Not really here
