Everyone handles grief and worrying in their own way, and the size of your paycheck has nothing to with it.

Nools - HE SHOULDN'T HAVE FUCKIGN PLAYED THEN.

That's the point.

That i agree with and I/we have no way of knowing if it's affected his game or not. It could also be that he's just been shite. However, playing him when either not in form or not having his head in the right place because of his kid, is Pep's shortcoming, not Bravo's.

Agreed.

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

Did you not get that hug , snowflake ?

Fucked up again and almost cost us but got lucky. Just saying.

Why on earth big willy is not playing in an important match like this I will never know

the guy is shit
simple as

Scapegoat today. Sane was a massive shit bag and has anyone seen Raheem? Not sure what he is meant to do when massively exposed? Any keeper in the world would struggle in this team.

I think our defence was solid today and the main reason is Vinnie. He brings something huge that no one is capable at the moment to fill.

Otamendi (except that fuck up with Wellbeck) had a decent game also and that was because of Kompany.

Bravo was good. end of.

This is just a shite thread, I don't think anyone moaned about his performance in the match thread, although there were a few moans about his inclusion.
As Noolie says, he was solid today.

Is this the same kid that he wasn't arsed to be at the birth of because football was more important? Interesting.

My own personal opinion on Bravo; I don't hate the guy. I'd love nothing more than for him to prove everyone wrong. But if a shot is right at you and you can't save it then no one can defend you.

I tried to defend Bravo at first to rags and other football fans but he became indefensible. I do think though that he'll be here next season whether we like it or not. Pep is an arrogant guy and will want to prove everyone wrong. I fully expect him to be our first choice next season.

Sadly Mase, I fear you might well be right.

If this is then the case, irrespective of any desperately needed outfield players we might sign in the summer, our prospects for the new season might well remain on the bleaker side of disappointing.

Talk about an Achilles Heel.

that's his best bit

Guardiola should be sectioned if Bravo is our number 1 next season. It would make our transfer businesss this summer largely irrelevant,we would be ok against the lesser teams but our record against top 6 would follow a similar path to this season.

that flap in the first half
omfg!
the guy is terrible
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!

Speculation we our looking at keeping Bravo, getting rid of Willy and going for Pickford, partly because he is English and cheap. Personally I hope we don't go for this. We should be looking at a world class keeper not a young lad that has done pretty well. IMO none of those keepers are as good as Hart.

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

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.

Moyes came out and said us signing Pickford would be a backwards step for him....as opposed to staying at Sunderland.
