For me Joe hart saves all 3 of those. I know he won't be back, the answer isn't bravo it's just not. Willy isn't the answer either I don't know who is. Part of the answer is that we must improve our goals to chances created ratio as it will take pressure of the defence, but we still need to strengthen defensively and we need a different GK

We totally dominated the game and but for poor finishing and corrupt refereeing the game would have been over at half time. But keep hating Pep - are you trying to be fashionable by going against the common perception of him?

Judging from his recent remarks, maybe he hopes Barca will rescue him from his nightmare, getting himself sent off out there was just for starters, now he's sabotaging our season to reduce his price.

I think it's just a general lack of anything positive to say about anyone or anything ever.

By the way Otta had a damn good game.

The goalie was called only a few times and his positioning was shocking.


Yeh he dealt exceptionally well with Costa for Chelsea's equaliser

yes he may be good with the ball at his feet but your #1 job as a goalkeeper is to stop shots and he simply cannot do that.

Summer? Jeesus christ, this guy is so terrible that he needs to go on monday.

i figured that was too unbelievable. heck, summer is too though. Pep is gonna ride with this guy whether we like it or not.
gonna have to get used to conceding lots of goals.


But this guy is making so basic errors. I'm actually more lenient than most when it comes to goalkeeper dropping odd blunder. Happens to everyone. However you look at the second AND third goal. For fucks sake U7 kids are thought to come forward in one-on -ones and make yourself as big as possible and make the goal as small as possible. Will he save it? Yes he could've conceded two one-on-ones and I would have no complaints. But this guy is standing at the FUCKING goal line (in third actually takinga step BACK). You'd get bollocking for that AT ANY LEVEL OF FOOTBALL AT ANY AGE, never mind fucking 33 year old Premier League goalkeeper.

Fucking hell, we could put David Silva in goal and he'd do better and he is even better passer than this joker.


All I'm gonna say is that I agree 100% with NQDP.

And. I watched the game today with a former keeper and she basically said all the same things.


HONESTLY. If we put Yaya in goal I think we would do just as "well". He is great with the ball at his feet as well

Not at all. I like Pep, But....
In Bravo he has dropped a huge bollock. One that is costing us badly.
The football doesn't look better than last season in general. Sure we played well today, but we aren't finishing (like last season) and we are so fragile ar the back. Far worse as it happens.
We don't look like a title winning side, by a distance and some of the tactically breathtaking substitutions are frankly bizarre.
Better performances than this had people calling for Pellers job because he wasn't up to it anymore apparently . Let's not kid ourselves. It still looks a dog's breakfast out there, arguably even worse than twelve months ago.

Don't gang up on someone eh, not cool. He's entitled to his opinion, sometimes he sees stuff differently than most of us and can be insightful, and anyway I'm Victor fucking Meldrew.

NQDp has it called right for me, we play with 11 outfield players and he is barely a goalie by any sensible description.

Argued at the game you couldn't blame a goalie for getting done 1 on 1. Just watched the highlights. A cone would have done better than Bravo. Pep has to bite the bullet and face up. The bloke just aint good enough. By a fucking distance.Thank you and goodbye to the clown is whats required and some humble pie from Pep. You are wrong, mate.

If you have a cheese sandwich in your pocket and you go to the shop for something more appetising, for example a scotch egg, you don't come away with a bag of dog shit, and eat it, because it is all they were willing to sell you. You eat the cheese butty and maybe try a different shop.

Some have said he wanted Ter Stegen. I think the truth is he wanted anyone else but Joe Hart.
Some Spanish-based journalists said he would 'test' the hierarchy like he did Bayern's. They didn't give in to his demands (was when he demanded Kroos was given top dollar in a new deal).
Apparently, despite it being very early in to his reign, he knew THEN he would never have 'control'.
He did it with Ronaldinho and Deco (I think) at Barca.
Thing is he had Messi. Here we've replaced a top keeper with a poor one. I'm not saying Hart had to say, I just believe we should have bought a better keeper or kept Hart until one became available.
