Thoughts on Bravo

With all the flak around the red cards , flare up at the end. Are we missing how poor Bravo was again on the key role of a keeper, stopping the opponents scoring. 2 of the goals Joe Hart would have saved . Has Pep got a blind spot for a good keeper, a claim that you could make at Wenger as well.
The football ability of a keeper has to be measured against the shot stopping and cross taking abilities of the keeper. Liverpool also have a weak link in the keeper area.
What do others think?

Clichy can still do a job as a FB but not as a replacement for Sane.

City's best approach is you score 2 we'll score 3. Their forwards been a bit off though and Aguero now out for 4 games.

Don't rate any of your back 5 and Kompany was world class. Top 3 CB's in world for a while. His days are done though.

Bravo did nothing wrong this past weekend in my opinion. Even Joe Hart would not have saved any of those 3 goals. It is unfortunate that some fans are looking to blame Bravo for every defeat while forgetting the saves he made in the last 2 games prior to ensure we picked up the 3 points.

Also, i was very delighted with our performance on Saturday despite the defeat. If we play like that at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will be beaten.

Bravo is my favourite keeper

Thought we played well on Saturday. Just lost to some goals by some very good players, though I do think Joe would have stopped Willian's goal.

We all know about Joe and his left side as well as his hoof balls to row Z. Fans just pick on Bravo maybe because of emotional attachment to Joe but he's never had a howler like that Liverpool goalkeeper over the weekend.
I would rather pin the blame for that 2nd goal on Clichy even though I don't like playing the blame game.
Selfishness was another Elephant in the room no one is even talking about. KDB should have squared to Sane who was in a better position to score after Sane's dazling run but instead, he decided to shoot.
Same with Aguero when he latched unto that back pass. If he had squared to KDB, that would have been a goal.
But overall, I loved the fighting spirit, the tenacity and skills displayed by us on Saturday. If anyone thinks the title race is over, then they are simply deluded.

The worry for me at this stage is how many points he will cost us vs how many he will gain us. Im convinced had kdb bagged we would have won, but Ill cut him some slack as he'll no doubt win us far more points than he'll lose us, Bravo not so sure.

Trade him straight-up for the WHU keeper. But for his performance Arsenal would have won 10-1.

He is poor and could cost you lads the title.

It is probably the only weak part of your side

Non of us is thinking of the tittle Irish mate.

The back 5 needs a lot of work.
