My number one priority for Prem keepers is always command of the box. Forget the lack of saves for a second (those can be down to nerves, confidence, form or a small sample size), Bravo's biggest shortcoming is the panic station every time a ball gets lobbed into his area, because he's a weak midget. Hart was better at it, but sailed past crosses on a regular basis too (and still does, looking at his compilation of howlers for Torino).
Most keepers are at least decent shot stoppers, but command of the box and a calm presence are what seperates the very best from the also-rans. Especially in this league, which is full of hoofball merchants and Kevin Davies types who will elbow your keeper in the ribs and get away with it.

That's a fine post.
Pretty much spells out my own thoughts.

Sorry to be so blunt but its the truth unfortunately .
To be fair, he in general has a keeper problem.
Thank fuck he had Neuer at Bayern, but let's not forget he signed Pepe Reina there. Pepe fucking Reina.
Exactly !
Reina as second choice is quality!
Give your head a serious wobble !

If that's humour, it's not funny.

Got us worried for a moment there.
