Top 6....what the fk!

Sorry i mean Atkinson could

I take the point that Bravo won't win City points with his saves, but having a keeper who is good with his feet is fundamental to how they play (and it's the same welith us with Karius who is seen as better in that department than Mignolet).

How he contributes to City winning points by being better for their general pattern of play is not measurable.

If you can't measure it I don't think it is worth having it tbh.

Bravo so far this season appears incapable of saving anything. I think he gives opposition teams hope even when they are losing to City.

It seems so easy to put the ball in the net when he is in the goal.

I was thinking the same to be honest, if Liverpool win 12 on the spin i would want to be 10 points ahead min.

But just 6 with 20 games left must be frustraty in some ways, you know for every game won thats another little bit of luck use with decisions and injuries and so on!

For me the city fame is massive now win that and cfc play spurs it could be 9 points adrift or 3 points behind and tge race is on.

I do feel if we go 9 points behind they wont be caught though!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we were in or around the top on win number one then yes i would agree with that but we were 8 behind when the run started so a 14 point swing is actually pretty impressive.

Well that's just ludicrous.

You can measure the impact of a John Terry in the dressing room. I guess there was no point having him as captain then.

But you can measure his impact in qualitative terms.

What is ludicrous is to claim something or someone is a benefit but you can provide no evidence as to how.

How exactly can you accurately measure the impact of John Terry as captain then?

I said you can measure them in qualitative terms

You yourself have just given an example in general terms by suggesting he has an impact in the dressing room...

Assuming you are right it might be things like talks to the team, talks to individual players, advice, the way he trains, etc etc these are all qualitative

Eric...mention those teams if you want, but we have only lost 2 games, nobody has lost less; so what does that say about everyone else? You generally always lose games its how many you lose rather than who you lose too.
....
Just in reply to Got_Better that Man Utd have only lost 3 league games the same as Chelsea and the fact Man Utd have lost 1 of the last 15 games in all competitions or 0 of the last 13 games in all competitions.

I like hoe ESPN FC choose the 2 teams we battered the most in the home fixtures for us to lose against away from home. Great logic lose to Middlesbrough (a), Burnley (a)
