Now you've gone and done it! Carl's coming for you.

He is the worst keeper I have seen in my life. And that includes all professional football. And some amateur football. And no, I am not exaggerating.

If people put as much energy into supporting City as they do into slagging off Bravo we might actually get somewhere.
Yes he is struggling but why not as a group of fans can't we get behind the lad and try and lift him. I heard a scatter of booing and ironic cheers yesterday at the game when he's name was called out and he touched the ball with his hands. Does this help anyone, no.
I hope he comes good and shuts people up because he is a very keeper who just happens to be not playing well and having zero luck.
Only one keeper was shite yesterday and 100% it wasn't ours...

Shots on target: 2
Goals: 2
If Pep wants a keeper who can pass, he may as well put David Silva in goal, he'd probably have the same save %

Was it about 100 chances yesterday and two goals. That needs to improve. We do our job up top we don't need to be as concerned about the back. Did you know Liverpool have conceded more than us in the league this season?

I agree with this.
I also think he needs to see a pshychologyst. The fella clearly needs help to cope with all of this. I am just concerned that a player of his age and experience could be so weak mentally.

Hes shit and a weak minded fuckwit. If he was a normal guy doing a normal job he would have been fucked off long before his 3 month trial period was up. The money he gets fucking paid he shouldnt need a bloody shrink he should be good enough to the job.
Hes a joke

The booing I must don't get. His head is clearly in the wrong place and that and cheering if he makes a simple catch won't help. Any City fan doing that needs to take a long look at themselves.
Lloris was in front of us yesterday for the goals and was given loads of stick every time the ball went to him and you could see the mistakes were being to him, with his kicking going to bits, resulting in more jeers. As fans, we were going what we could to get inside his head and unsettle him more. So why the hell would anyone do that to their own keeper?
As for the goals yesterday, maybe a more confident keeper would have tried to collect the cross, but it flicked off Kolarov, so they'd have probably missed it anyway. The second one, could be have dived a bit further, maybe got a touch if he was taller? Maybe, but he was unlucky yesterday that the two shots would have probably gone in anywhere against any keeper, but they will be used against him in the stats.

Hey Moonchesteri, I've told you a million times before to stop exaggerating ........
In all seriousness though, there are still calls for us to be patient and to give Bravo a chance. However, if we had drafted Gunn, for example, into the side and he'd performed as disappointingly as Bravo has, over this same period of time, does anyone think that Pep would still be persevering with him and that he wouldn't have been shipped out in some haste long ago ??
There's no way that Bravo should now be exempt from culpability for his performances as, to my mind, he's been given more than enough time to 'prove' himself.

He's not exempt, in fact he's copping blame even when it has nothing to do with him, as some of the posts on here illustrate.
As for your point about Gunn, difference is mate that Bravo has proven himself before he came here, Gunn hasn't had the chance to do that yet.

Fair enough FIBD; although I did say Gunn "for example".
You could insert any number of names here instead of Gunn, i.e. Joe Hart being one and I think Pep would have dropped them fairly quickly. It's just that Bravo seems exempt, in Pep's eyes, from any consequences his performances would merit.
Moreover, with regard to yesterday's game, Bravo may have actually been blameless for the two goals we conceded, but that's just one game in a catalogue of many, this season, where he has performed in an indifferent manner.

Thanks chum.
I admit I am speculating and it's fuelled and born out of frustration really and, when that happens, I do tend to spout even more rubbish than normal.
