I think Bravo is a poor goalkepper, but Bravo played a huge part in reaching the final. He is the main reason we are here, so he has to play without doubt.
Last time we did something like this, we lost a final. Footballers are weird, a simple bad management decision can fuck our season.
I still have the Mancini moment in my head.

Against a top 6 side we will struggle even more. I'd actually already been thinking we'd lose to Arsenal if he plays. Now, maybe, we have the opportunity to change it based on performance across both domestic cups. I hope so. I also hope fervently that Edderson stays fit for the remainder of the season. The league will be ok now but success in the Champs League would be much less likely with Bravo in goal.

Nonsense, hid footwork was excellent last night, kept it ticking nicely, finding Fernandinho with some great passes through them whenever he had it.

That said the fact that his shots to goals ratio is so shite I can't see how anyone can feel that we are ok with him in the net. We need to move him on asap.

Ederson is so key to how we play now. So calm on the ball, incredible ability to start attacks, and allows us to play such a high line as he’s effectively a sweeper.
When Bravo plays, not only do we have a much inferior shot stopper, we have to change our style of play at the back because Ederson is so much better.
Arsenal are likely to rest Cech and play Ospina. He’s a weaker goalkeeper for sure, but their outfield play won’t be as impacted as much as ours.
P.S. can the title of thread be edited please? We can at least spell the names of our own players correctly!

Then we will lose.

His ratio is decent this year, around 70 odd %, similar to Ederson, why are people ignoring this?

Wigan had two shots on target mate. One went in.
