Surely he can't be any worse!
He'd be my preference, too. Better at stopping shots and his distribution is decent. Plus he's not averse to shouting at his defenders.
Didn't do himself any harm tonight it must be noted
The defence looked a lot more confident, also.

I was thinking that too. Looks like they gave him more room and don't play right on top of him. Sign of confidence in your keeper.

Can't help agreeing with Lampard. Hart would solve our keeper problems. Willy probably better than Bravo on current form.

Interesting stats in MEN report. Bravo has the worst shots to saves ratio of the goalkeepers in the top 6 teams in the prem this season.
His save ratio in the last two seasons was close to 80% this season it's 62%.

They must include back passes!
"He shoots, he scores" is an all too familiar commentary when Bravo is in goals.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

Our 2 best performances have been barca and last night, both times Willy started. Our other standout performance was against the rags, that was Bravos first game so he hadn't ruined the teams confidence by then

They scored didn't they? And if we had to blame someone for that goal...which flappy bird would you blame?

In the summer, if Pep is brutally honest with himself, he'll have no other option but to accept that Bravo is not going to 'cut the mustard' at City.
However, getting a new 'keeper of the calibre required is going to be exorbitantly expensive, I would have thought and any such disbursements will heavily conflict and impact upon the funds which will be made available for all the other positions in the team/squad that need strengthening.
On that basis, apart from all the playing quality perspectives and considerations, it might actually make sound financial sense overall, to recall Hart and restore him as our first choice 'keeper.
I suppose, in the final analysis, it all depends on the extent of the transfer money which will be made available after the current season ends.

Regardless of the financial sense, the playing sense and the common sense that having Joe back in the summer entails, there is about as much chance as me being the goalie next season as Joe returning to playing under Pep

Tongue in cheek fuckface...your the stat man.
No one else with half a brain needs to go into stats to see that yesterday Caballero did everything that Bravo has not done this season.
And your right , I actually am a laugh a minute.

Just came across this.
Considering he's only been here half a season (and less when the video was compiled) he's not learnt much from his earlier errors.
