Can't see I see Bravo's injury as a catastrophe.

Call me a callous bastard but Its a fuckign poor excuse justifying the shit performances hes dished out over a fuckign season.

Well said Carl , all he has to do is save the fucking ball and if his head is that fucked why have Pep and co allowed him near the first team ???? Doesn't rub with me , I went through a truly life changing divorce and still had to go to work everyday and do my professional best every minute of every working day and at no time I can remember let any cunt down especially my three kids !

don't wish injury on anyone but i hope that is the last we've seen of him.


That incident was probably one of the worst decision making decisions from a keeper I have seen for a long time - we were fucking lucky one of the munchens didn't put that in the net , just as well ,otherwise this site would have crashed with the abuse it would have had to handle and I'd have been sectioned!


In fairness, he did make a great stop as a result of the scramble.


Yep, atoned for his error, when others do that its acknowledged so should be no different here.

Oh and he wasn't best pleased with Kolarov for not giving him a shout to leave it.

Atoned for his error...you mean he got extremely lucky !

This just about sums it up...MARTIN SAMUEL...the only person I respect in sports journalism.

Pep Guardiola's continued faith in Claudio Bravo remains as inexplicable as ever.
He made one very good save in the opening 45 minutes, which was necessary due only to his utter incompetence in dealing with a cross seconds before. Bravo is an anti-goalkeeper. What he did when attempting to cut out a cross from Anthony Martial was the opposite of what any goalkeeper on the planet would have wished to do — or been coached to do.

I for one , am happy hes fuckign injured ,yes you heard it right , happy !!! that means I don't have to worry who's going to be in nets for the next few games.

Willy and Gunn....Good!.

There've been a lot of rumours around Pickford joining us this summer. I wonder what the plan is in that case - as first choice or as understudy to Bravo? Pickford is only 2 years older than Gunn. Is he a lot better? The last question is for Doug and others who've seen him a lot in the EDS.

We sign Pickford and he has a chance at being our #1 for a LONG time. He will easily challenge Bravo and help us as he is English.

Of what I've seen he's quite good already, and has what Pep requires in terms of what he can do with the ball at his feet.

I think it will, and should happen, and then Gunn could challenge him in a few more seasons.

Any young keeper coming to us has a chance of being our #1 for a long time, but being "quite good already" is just not good enough. IMO we need a proven world class keeper.
Young Keepers​ can do go out on loan to gain match experience, like Chelsea did with Courtois and we did with Hart.
We have lost so many points this season from poor keeping. I don't mind if Pep wants​ a keeper that's good with his feet but if he can't save shots we will drop too many points.

Watching degay pluck the ball out of the air with ease time and again was frustrating. We really need a proper keeper.

Whichever way you look at it, he could have cost us the game last night with that brain fart. If they had won 1-0 as a result of that he would never have been forgiven. He got lucky but it's time for him to go. I'm defo in the give Pep time camp, but I will never understand why Bravo is seen as better than Joe.

Talk of rags wanting Hart if they lose DeGea to Real Madrid. Apparently he wants to live in the North West?
Our goal keeping strategy seems lunacy. IMO Hart is better than Bravo, Willy and Pickford.

When Schnichael left we chose Hart as the younger keeper to develop into a long term No1 It is arguable Kasper has turned into the all round keeper we seem to want/need. He has years in front of him, I would be looking at that with Gunn as taking one of Willy or Bravo's place.
