I’m so devastated. I don’t know what I’ll do with myself.

To say he was not what iwas expting is an understatement. Remember being at spurs in Peps first season when we looked like the keystone cops at the back and we got leathered. Still dont know why Pep bought him. Thankful to him for the penalty shoot-outs though.
Good luck Claudio it was entertaining at least

Cheers Claudio - I suspect it’s a blessed relief

Ederson had a shaky season, yes, but...

Prem - W2 D0 L2 with Bravo
CL - W0 D2 L0 with Bravo
FAC - won every game he played, but the only PL club was Newcastle
LC - W5 L1

Against top-half Prem clubs in all comps, his record is P6 W2 D1 L3 (counting the Charity Shield win as a draw), conceding 9

^^fair point and I'm not saying Bravo was perfect this year, but I don't recall him making many major errors this season (unlike in years past). eddie has made many high profile mistakes, some of which we were punished for and some we weren't.

p.e. how could we have lost 1 with bravo in the LC?

Although we did what was needed, it still stings that this was the first time a manager has guided us to 3 defeats against them in a single season since Ball.

It wasn't. We lost 3 times to them in 09/10 in far worse circumstances.
Scholes 93rd minute at home.
Owen in the 4-3.
Last minute in the League Cup Semi

Very rarely say this about a player of ours, but I'm fucking glad he's gone

I think the 4-3 was the most gut-wrenching experience I've ever felt as a City fan. The VAR stupidity against Spurs might come close, but then again there's something about VAR that makes me less emotional about the game overall.

Yeah he was pants but good luck to him.

Strangely, he was actually all right in the 2nd keeper role as he showed in cup comps

Wish him luck and despite the many fuck ups we got through to finals cause of him.

He won't be getting a statue or training pitch named after him. Perhaps the Bravo corner flag!

Maybe not a statue as such but how about a Bravo gnome mounted in the back of the net he visited so regularly :lol:
