Way too generous. Bravo for starters conceding a goal at his near post.

That's a cardinal sin of goalkeeping.

Feel sorry for bravo apart from getting beat at his near post which was poor but was a crackin strike, he did everything right. Came out and did some excellent sweeping up at the back. Thought he was good.

This is something that baffles me, DeGea is widely regarded as the best in England but he regularly gets beat at his near post but doesn't get the criticism for what's generally regarded in British football punditry as a cardinal sin. Why?

That was an incredible hit by the Basel player last night, not unsaveable but it would have taken a great stop to keep it out.

This is the problem with Bravo as I see it, it's not a case of him being full of errors, it's that he never seems to pull off the big save.

That moment aside he played very well last night.
