Correct.
he didn't even have special game or anything. Did what any goalkeeper is supposed to do ie made some saves, took some crosses and led the defensive line. Basic stuff. However after tha joker we've had between the sticks all season he looked like second coming of Buffon.

I will be seriously angered if I have to see Bravo again. Let Willy play rest of the season and then either get Joe back or go all out for quality keeper.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Good performance from him last night, when called upon.

I think it's fair to say it took him a while to settle

Exactly. He wasn't outstanding - it's just that he does the basic things like attempting to make saves and coming for the ball, things that bravo is unable to do. Adrian had a better game than willy last night (only cos willy didn't have as much to do) as without his saves we could have won 8-0

It'll certainly be interesting to see how far Guardiola's adaptation to the English game has gone wrt his commitment to his own man trying to play his way.

You know my opinion.

I wouldn't trust Bravo to shovel snow from my backyard.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Would be surprised if he wasn't. But Pep has shaken it up a bit this season up to now so I guess we will find out about 12:30 tomorrow

I would pick Willy tomorrow but there is no chance Pep will. None whatsoever.

I'm personally dreading seeing two players on the team sheet

Bet no one can guess the two?



PS? Hope Pep hasn't been on crack before naming today's team against the toffees

I think we'd have a much better chance with eleven.
Plus some subs, of course.

I think Big Will is very underrated by both our manager and us.
