Did everyone think Bravo did a great job? I never feel comfortable with him. Ederson would have kept those out for sure.

No. Playing out from the back makes me nervous when he's playing and dippers pressed us quickly as they know he's not a patch on big Ed when it comes to this.

Fern isn't a defender.

Greatest Holding MF but we are way short at the back with him, but I blame Stones more, wtf has happened to him. he is not a leader, he is nothing but back up to a dominant Centre half, he also looks unkept. He certainly does not give the impression he is living like a pro should.

I mentioned that the other day. Stones looks like he's crawled out of a bin. He needs to be nowhere near the first team until he sorts his life out.

I also think we miss Sanè more than people would admit.

Yep.

Stones looks scared stiff every time he's on the ball now.
Ederson would have saved the 1st and collected the cross for the 3rd imo and there's no way he scores the 2nd if Laporte is playing.

Its no coincidence that Stones looks scared playing in front of Bravo make no mistake we were getting fuck all yesterday with him in goal. Ederson would have gotten nowhere near the third he had a free header & that is down to poor defending exactly the same as in Atalanta. We need to invest in a back up keeper & another CB if Pep is not going to play the kids

[Nick]

Re bravo - before we bought Ed, bravo had the worst shots to save ratio in England. Remember, if the other team had a shot, it went in

[salford city]

To be fair, I don't think Ederson's is much better, but you can feel the concern when Bravo is in goal - it's palpable.

Sorry you dont think that Ederson is much better than Bravo.
Is that correct?

Have no problem admitting it. I thought at the time that the loss if him and Laporte were season defining blows.

I don't think Ederson's saves to shot ratio is that much higher he inspires that much more confidence in the team though. You can taste the fear when Bravo is in goal & Stones in particular seems to feel it more

[stupot]

Stones looked just as poor the last couple of games with Ederson. Looks totally devoid of confidence.
I don't think he would have got the header with Ederson playing, i think he'd have caught the cross.

Agree re Stones- don't know what is going on with him seems to be totally out of sorts.

[Hazy2]

Stones was on his way to being a top player. Yesterday he was hiding, Angelino, was despite being ripped a new one for 30 mins braver and settled into the game, John Stones needs dare I say needs to take a fucking good look at himself.

All stones does is what any player would do who lacks any kind of fucking composure and confidence and that's pass backwards and even more passes backwards - he does fuckall in that defense and he has turned to shit and should not get back in the team...period.

Bravo has conceded more than 50% of shots out of 40 odd attempts....that's how bad he is (We had fuckall choice but to put him in goal)

Bravo pushed the fuckin ball in to his own net because his positioning was fuckin awful for their third.

[City64]

Bravo is fucking shit the end . Stones and Otamendi have to be sold at the end of the season , apart from that when the rest of the squad is fully fit we are and will be fucking immense .

Conceding over 50% of shots out of 45 attempts is fucking shocking - they cant all be contributed to a shit defense in front of him.

[s1ty m]

I am still gutted, don’t mind losing to a better team, but these cunts, no awful can’t stand it

No idea what Qualities Pep sees in Gundogan that he dosent see in Fodden.

I know which one i would rather be with in the heat of a battle at Anfield.Not saying Gundogan is a bad Footballer,Just that when the going gets tough,Gundogan gets going,disappears.Hides in plain sight on the Pitch.

He has mastered the art of making himself unavailable for the Ball.

Bang on. Absolutely bang on. I've said it before, he's Graham Baker.
